A Tidy Mind is a Decluttering & Organising Service, covering West and North Yorkshire especially Leeds, Ilkley, Harrogate, Bradford, Skipton, Halifax and Huddersfield. Trained by the Association of Professional Declutterers and Organisers (APDO), you can be sure you are getting a service you can trust. I will help you declutter your home, life & mind. Many people start tidying their home only to stop because they feel overwhelmed. Treating you as an individual, I help you declutter to a level with which you feel comfortable & create bespoke home organisational systems that you can easily maintain long term.
Start by making initial contact with me either by phone-call, text or email.
I will do an informal telephone assessment with you which lasts about 20 minutes discussing your personal needs, timescale, location & budget
If required I will visit your home in person to make a more in depth assessment. This also free and takes about an hour.
Together we make a plan about what we want to achieve and how we’re going to transform your home.
We begin the first hands on decluttering & organising session!
I charge between £30 & £35 per hour (inclusive of several different extra services) with the lowest rate being for clients who commit to a minimum of 24 hours – see my Packages for more info.
I offer flexible payment plans so do get in touch if you need this option so we can find a way for you to access the service.
Contact me, Kate, by phone or email to discuss your general requirements. I encourage you to receive a free assessment in person before you decide whether to go ahead.
If you want to specify the exact amount of time you book (and therefore cost) it makes sense to choose one of the Packages:
If considering a specific Projects such as declutter & organise a child’s room, kitchen or whole house, it can be more difficult to estimate a timescale (although I can give you an idea) so it is best to choose by Projects:
All kinds of people use a home decluttering & organisation service. Time poor professionals, busy parents, downsizers, business owners, people who have been unwell. Maybe you have been building up to start this process for years or perhaps your circumstances have recently changed.
It seems to be due to my mix of practical skills & psychology background. The positive impact this will have on your well-being is immeasurable. It’s about more than simply removing clutter. It is about transforming your home into a beautiful, functional space which runs like clockwork. It’s also about transforming your outlook & mind for the better.
I work with you, one to one. You always have the final say on anything that is removed or moved. Using a range of coaching and problem solving techniques, I help you create a clear image of where you want to be and guide you to discard what you do not need. Crucially, you will be assisted in the disposal/recycling of these items ( I can remove a carload on the day) Then your space will be expertly & beautifully organised. You will be provided with immediate storage & organisational tips, clever quick fixes plus a plan for long term maintenance.
Imagine glancing around your home and feeling calm, content & energised? Being far more productive? Being able to lay your hands on any of your possessions within a minute or two? How nice would it be to have more space because your possessions were stored smartly? What about living in a home that is quick & easy to clean? Ultimately, I can help you change your mindset, so that you can choose to surround yourself with only that which is valuable.
Transform a messy, disordered space into a streamlined, organised & treasured wardrobe.

I had a loft full of items that had long since been forgotten about. Morbid as this sounds, I didn’t want my loved ones to have to sort it out once I was gone. Most was “clutter” but some things were valuable and have incredible sentimental value. Kate has an incredibly sensitive and intuitive way of working with people. In addition, she is practical and works swiftly. I would simply have not done this on my own. My loft has been decluttered, the items that remain are stored correctly and I have residcovered some beautiful items. Kate helped me sell some valuable items and the charity shops have done pretty well too! This service is fantastic value for money.
Kate worked wonders helping me reorganise my wardrobe, including all my clothes, shoes and accessories, which has saved me time and made life so much easier for me as a busy mother. Kate applied a well thought out process to make the activity of sorting through my belongings fun and engaging. Kate was very supportive and professional through her sensitive and perceptive questions she really helped me decide between things that were precious to me and clutter. As a consequence of having a super organised wardrobe I feel so much lighter and clearer mentally.
Six months later, I am maintaining Kate’s practical advice and my wardrobe is a pleasure to open!’
I cannot thank Kate enough for the help she provided in sorting out our spare room. We moved into our house two years ago, heavily pregnant and with an energetic 2 year old. We basically dumped all our junk in this room and avoided entering it. I was embarrassed whenever anybody came to stay!
Within a couple of hours, Kate helped me to work out what we needed to get rid of and how to organise our belongings so that we actually now know where things are! She also gave me some great ideas for storage.
Kate has helped me to totally transform my office, and now I have a decluttered calm space where I can concentrate on my work. This home and office organising service from is totally worth it, and will change your life!

I drink alcohol (Irish family line, teenager in the 90’s, middle class) I enjoy drinking alcohol. I gain value out of it. No apologies. Not one. I allow it to feature in my life but with the moderation necessary for me personally. All year. I won’t be partaking in Sober October. Or Dry January. Or any of […]
