Organised Chaos

General information

I work holistically which means my focus is not just on your excess 'stuff'. I know from experience that if you want a long lasting solution to clutter you have to go deeper than just a tidying exercise.

Chances are you've tried to declutter on multiple occasions and always stalled. You might tell yourself you don't have enough time, you're too busy, or you're waiting to sell it all on e-bay one day soon. Deep down you know you are stuck and just can't face the emotions that are connected to whatever you have hung onto against all logic.

My approach is gentle and not in the least bossy! I do not want to layer on more trauma. Any session goes at your pace. However, I do ask a few questions as we go along, all intended to boost your self-awareness. Once you know the real reasons you've kept stuff then you can begin to make choices.

I'm not necessarily in favour of ultra-minimalism. From time to time I have my own clutter and even then I don't push myself! I know that each of my clients will naturally find their own level of how much space they want and how many things they can part with.

There's nothing wrong with keeping things out of sentiment in my view, but sometimes this habit can get out of control. I help you learn to be selective in a way that feels good.

Are you self-employed or running a small business? Do you feel disconnected from your office function? Would you like to be more organised and less stressed? I have experience of working with creative people and therapists who really don't want to engage with routine admin. I've helped them declutter irrelevant paperwork and other stuff from their office (often the back bedroom) as well as coming up with intuitive straightforward systems that suit their individual style. Even in a small business situation emotions can be key to resolving clutter issues. After all, becoming self-employed is a big leap of faith.
