How can a professional declutterer and organiser help me?

This will be discussed in detail. Perhaps with the room or category that causes you the most discontentment. However, if you have multiple rooms to tackle, we will suggest the most efficient order in which to do so. It may make sense to look at what problem you need to solve in your life. For example, if you can’t sleep, we could make your bedroom into a sanctuary. If you are frequently getting anxious about losing documents, we’ll start with your paperwork and information systems. Or if you want to move home, we’ll work towards that goal step by step.

Every type. There really is no typical client as each is different. If you feel worried that your project seems to big, please rest assured that for no project is too big. Every member of the A Tidy Mind team is passionate about this and will simply want help. Likewise, because this service is offered by the hour, no job is too small. Life changing, long lasting results can take place within several hours.

It’s preferable.  Everything should be done with your input and involvement. After I leave, you will need to use the systems we put in place so you need to buy into and understand them. In addition, you need to have the final say on whether or not something is discarded. However, I understand that this is not always what you want. If you wish to get on with something else, I can work on my own for several hours and you can return to make final decisions.

Of course. The more the merrier! However, keep in mind that some people may want to restrict the decisions you make. Plus, you are paying for my time and more people being present could slow us down. It makes sense that the decision makers are present but choose others with caution.

We can signpost you to a lot of scientific research on how your living or working environment impacts on your emotional health. Put simply, A Tidy Mind can make you happier. You can sit quietly in your tidy space, sipping a drink and reflecting on your day. You can work without distractions in a beautiful environment. When you glance around, you see items that bring you joy either because they are beautiful, useful or both. This will be your lifestyle and how can that fail to bring you happiness?

We are human beings not machines and if you do not use the systems we implement or if you do not dispose of items that no longer add value to your life, then things can start to slip. However, the difference is that you will have the skills to organise the space as you go along and you do not have to let things go downhill. Should they, you will be able to halt this in its tracks. Some clients like to book repeat sessions to keep them on track or when their requirements and circumstances change, such as moving house, the end of a relationship, having children, children leaving home, retirement etc.

For decluttering and organising, the price is more than cost of a cleaner and less than the cost of a Psychologist. This is because what we do is somewhere in between the two. It’s a pretty unique service. The idea is that you make permanent changes in your life. Clients report that decluttering and organising frees up so much time and is so satisfying, it is well worth the cost. Many clients find that they also sell items on and recoup some or all of the cost. For home staging and styling you will find A Tidy Mind’s prices are very competative compared the market rate.
