My Approach
đ Step 1 : Initial Assessment
During this first chat, Iâll listen to why you have contacted me, what sort of support you are looking for, and what youâre hoping to change. If we meet in person, please donât feel you need to tidy up - itâs actually helpful for me to see things just as they are, so I can better understand how to support you. Donât worry everything is confidential and Iâm here to help.
This initial phone call or visit usually takes about 15 minutes. It gives me the insight to be able to tailor a personalised action plan.
Iâll email or leave you with a paper copy of my terms and conditions to look over - If youâd like to go ahead and work with me, just get in touch when you are ready to book your first session.
đď¸ Step 2 : 1st Session
đŽâđ¨For lots of people deciding to get help with their belongings is a big step - especially if they feel that their home is very cluttered. Itâs completely normal to feel a bit nervous before your first session. Once we get started, most clients feel a huge sense of relief.
I arrive at your home in my black Mini - no advertising, just me. Thereâs no corporate uniform either. I wear a practical T - shirt, cargo pants and trainers.
We will begin by looking at your action plan - we can adjust it if it doesnât feel quite right.
Next Iâll check with you that youâre happy for me to open any wardrobes, cupboards, or drawers in the rooms we are working in - let me know if any are private. Same goes for any items youâd like me to avoid touching - for example paperwork or belongings with sentimental value.
Weâll also talk about which items youâd like to keep for now, and which youâre happy to let go of - for example expired food.
Then weâll begin the declutterring, you can be hands on, or step back and guide the process, you may even prefer to be in a different room - itâs up to you. Because every person and situation is unique the decluttering and organising/packing will be tailored to meet your individual needs, but will will contain the following :-
⢠What weâll focus on first
⢠What to keep, donate, or let go of
⢠Any homework (if you want it)
⢠Daily/Weekly/monthly timetables to maintain and keep on top of household chores (if you want it)
⢠Packing/unpacking and storage solutions
If you need more than one decluttering and organising/packing session, rest assured- Iâll always leave your space tidy at the end of each visit.
