Professional Organiser - Decluttering Service, Productivity Coaching Service in Cambridgeshire

Our home or workspaces can be a source of joy in our lives. But I know that sometimes they can also be a source of overwhelm and stress. Your physical environment can affect how you feel, your productivity, your relationships and even your health. I understand how frustrating a disorganised or cluttered home can be. But everyone is different, and I see my role as helping you find what realistically works for you.

My clients use my decluttering and organising service for a variety of reasons. These include feeling ‘stuck’ and not knowing where to start or getting distracted, which can lead to procrastination. Or the problem can be a lack of confidence, physical health issues, not knowing how to donate unwanted items, challenges caused by neurodivergence, depression, anxiety or other mental health challenges.

We all need help from time to time, and that’s where I come in – to help you gain control of your space. I will help you make decluttering decisions, donate unwanted items, get things in order, help learn new habits to maintain things and become more organised. I focus on empowering my clients to live a calmer, more content life within their environment. 

If your home is full, I can help you with sensitivity, and I hold specific training to work with those on the hoarding spectrum (I don’t use the word ‘hoarder’ as I think it’s disrespectful). If you don’t want to let go of a lot of belongings but are in need of organisation, space optimisation and storage solutions, I can help you too. Or perhaps you would like me to stage your home to make it most attractive to potential buyers. I can even organise your home with your personal style in mind.

If needed, I can take over the physical side of decluttering for my clients and work hard to donate unwanted items to charities. Most importantly, I teach you the tricks of the professional organising trade so that you become more confident to declutter your space and organise your house or home in future.

Perhaps you’re a little unsure because this is the first time you’ve considered using a decluttering service or professional organiser. That’s why I always offer free consultations to help you decide whether it’s the right service. If you’re near Cambridge, Huntingdon, St Neots or any of the surrounding areas across Cambridgeshire (I also cover parts of West Suffolk, Essex), do reach out and get in touch to arrange an informal chat. Or you can ring or text me on 07824339054

HOW IT WORKS

1 > Get in touch 

Contact me by phone, text or email for a free chat to see if it’s the decluttering service you need and how I can help. We can also book a free consultation in person or by video call.

2 > The Consultation

A Tidy Mind Cambridgeshire offers free consultations in person (depending on location) or via Zoom or WhatsApp video call. It’s an opportunity for you to show me your home or workspace. I have the utmost respect for you and your confidentiality and understand that it can be hard to take that step, but I am here solely to help and support you. I approach any situation positively. 

3 > Book a session

We can discuss a plan to suit your decluttering service and organising needs after the consultation. For most clients, this involves choosing a package (see Packages & Pricing below) and booking some dates in the diary.

Professional Organising Services

Decluttering, Simplifying & Organising

I can help you declutter and organise any area of your home, from a cellar to a loft (and every room in between plus even outside spaces). I believe we are all on a journey of learning and change. Just because you may be struggling to achieve a tidy space right now, that doesn’t mean things can’t completely transform for you. I’m here to empower you so usually work with my clients in the room so they are part of the process. Decisions on what to declutter are always yours but I coach you to make the right decisions at the right time. I can take a reasonable number of unwanted items for donation at the end of our sessions.

I’ll help you figure out the best way to optimise your space, organise your belongings, use labelling effectively, adopt daily habits to keep on top of things and stop things spiralling in future.

Clients constantly tell me that hiring a professional organiser is one of the best investments they have ever made in their home and in themselves.

Help moving house

You might need to declutter during the moving process or need help packing, unpacking or organising your new home. Downsizers often use my service as well as those moving into sheltered accommodation or emigrating. I can help with the administration side of moving too.  I can help you unpack into your new home  in an organised way, starting you off on the right foot. 

If you’re moving within or out of Cambridge, East Anglia, Cambridgeshire, Huntingdonshire, Suffolk or Essex, I can work with you at various stages of your house move.

Help with hoarding

I have had specific training to work with people living in very full homes and/or with hoarding issues. I work patiently and with understanding, I will not rush you and would never pressurise you.

Working with clients going through a big life change

I have had to change and adapt throughout my life like most of us do. I’ve navigated house moves, been through a divorce and experienced bereavement to name a few. Our environments can have a stabilising or destabilising effect on us during these times. Let me help you control a little piece of your world (your home) even when other things seem all over the place.

Productivity Coaching Services

Productivity & Time Management Coaching

Do you feel there aren’t enough hours in the day? Do you feel overwhelmed at home or at work and think you could be using your time more effectively? If so, a block of standalone productivity coaching sessions could be just what you need.
I can deliver these sessions virtually or in person if you live in Cambridgeshire.

Productivity Coaching is delivered as a 6 hour block of 55 minute sessions, which take place weekly or fortnightly on a chosen day and time.

Productivity Coaching is the process of helping clients choose the right systems, prioritise, focus and manage their time efficiently. The aim at the end of coaching is to:

 – Help you set goals focused on their time management and productivity

 – Help you put together a ‘toolbox’ of tools to help you work in line with your chosen goals

 – Help you work out the actions you need to take in the right order

Personal Qualities

I am suited to decluttering because of my working and family life which has made me into the organised person that I am today. I have lots of life experience and have suffered hard times like everyone, but I take a positive out of this – I am extremely empathetic.

I know how emotional downsizing and moving on can be – after all, we are not always doing these things because of ‘positive life events’

I feel that all roads in my life lead to becoming a professional organiser. Every day I get to help people to declutter and organise their lives as well as connect with them on a human level.

Background

I have always been good at decluttering as I moved many times in my 20’s, each time learning more about organising and finding it was something that I was naturally good at.

I emigrated from UK to Australia in 2009 with 3 children, living in temporary accommodation in between and shipping our life overseas so it meant downsized and being organised on a major scale.

I am also good at being organised and ‘juggling’ – having had many jobs whilst bringing up children and running a business with my ex husband.

Experience

Over my working life I have gone into a variety of industries, and spent many years in the weight loss industry – I worked for Weight Watchers in the UK when my children were small and when I lived in Australia I worked for Jenny Craig.

These roles were invaluable experiences in my life and I learnt the importance of being a good listener and an empathetic person. People are vulnerable when they first enter that room (and I know this only too well as I myself have had a varied journey with my weight in my life) and needed someone who could listen and understand.

I was also a volunteer for the NSPCC school services. This was a role that took me into primary schools to help children to learn how to stay safe and how to have a voice if they were being mistreated. At times it was upsetting, but it taught me the value of listening and
dealing with sensitive issues in a compassionate and mindful way.

For nearly 18 years I juggled various roles whilst bringing up my 3 children and helping to run a landscaping business with my husband, where I was ‘hands on’ (I maintained gardens and even mixed the cement as a labourer). I also did all the book work for 15 years for our business.

From there I then branched into Interior Design and after re training, started my own business – helping people with Home Styling to help make their house a home, and Home Staging. I did anything from small renovations to designing colour schemes for decorating and soft furnishings. Moving into professional organising felt like a natural progression from there.

I am a proud, verified APDO (Association of Professional Declutterers & Organisers)

I love nothing more than empowering, supporting and helping my clients to make their house into a home through tidying and organising!
