ANSWERS TO YOUR BURNING QUESTIONS
This is a guide to the most common things I'm asked but always feel free to contact me if there's anything else you'd like to know.
​
WHY USE A PROFESSIONAL ORGANISER?
We all struggle to stay organised at times in our lives. Some of us are just not naturally inclined to be organised, others simply don't have the time or life events take over.
We pay for all sorts of other services that offer us help, so why not benefit from help in an area of your life that can cause so much stress and yet can revolutionise your life once sorted.
The feeling of calm, even euphoria, you feel after a thorough declutter and organisation of your things can be truly life enhancing. It leads to less stress and anxiety, and more time and mental energy to spend on what's important.
A good professional organiser will help you achieve this quickly and efficiently and even make it fun along the way. It's seeing the reaction of my clients at the end of the process that makes my job so worthwhile and enjoyable, it really is a relevation.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
​Once you've made contact via the website, email or phone, I will arrange a quick chat to understand the issues you are facing, reassure you that you are certainly not alone and discuss how I can help. This is done by telephone and usually lasts 10-20 minutes.​
Everyone is different so the solution will always be tailored to your needs, but see below for a general outline of the next steps.​
​If you're eager to proceed then we arrange a one-hour consultation visit in your home. These are free within a half hour drive of Wargrave, else charged at £40 but fully refundable against your first session if you proceed with a booking.​
This gives us a chance to meet in person and assess the situation together. It's really important that you feel relaxed and comfortable in my company and it's an opportunity for me to see the space you have, the current storage available and the main problem areas.
​This allows me to give some initial advice and estimate how many sessions we are likely to need. I will follow up with written confirmation of my estimate via email, plus terms and conditions and a confidentiality agreement if desired.
​Once you're ready to get going, we'll book in time for the working session(s). All decluttering sessions are done together, as it's very much your decision on what stays and what goes. Sessions usually last around 5 hours, to give enough time to make a really noticeable difference. Decluttering can be physically and emotionally tiring, but also extremely uplifting. We'll have a short break for refreshments to keep our energy levels up!​
Once the decluttering is complete, the organisation of everything you wish to keep is best done together, to make sure the system is manageable and really works for you. However, in some instances, depending on the time you personally have available, this stage can be done alone. We can discuss this at the outset.​
After all our endeavours, you should be left with a clutter-free, calmer and manageable space, that you feel both in control and proud of. You can take a deep breath, sit back and then get on with using your time more more productively on what's important to you.​
I'd love to help you achieve the sense of control and ease that I think everyone deserves to feel in their home.
WILL YOU MAKE ME GET RID OF THINGS?
No, only you can decide what things you are ready to let go of. Most home organisation starts with decluttering but I guide you through this process, working together to ensure your house remains home to those things you love and use.
