ClutterMeister is based in Brighton and offers decluttering assistance with a twist: I believe that - while clutter requires a practical approach - the first steps to solving a clutter crisis is to look at what lies beneath. And that means delving into your motivation, finding out what made you accumulate clutter in the first place. Because if we don't deal with this part, any decluttering results will most likely be short-lived.

During the current health crisis, I have decided to step up virtual support.

I realise this may not be your first choice to approach decluttering, but we all need to change some things if we want to stay safe in these scary times. Why not give it a go and see how it goes?

Virtual organising is a proven method that has worked on many occasions when a personal visit on site was impossible for various reasons.
I often use video calls for initial consultations and those can be easily expanded to full-on support with your decluttering project. Let's just set up a call and find ways to make it work for you.

Rest assured that virtual support still gives you full acces to my experience and professional advice in the form of live guidance, mapping out the next moves of your process and (virtual) hand-holding when the going gets tough.

My methods

Your home is the main port of call in life and you spend most of your free time in it. Of course you want to make it as enjoyable a space as you can. A clutter-free home contains meaningful things that enhance your enjoyment of life, it is a place to entertain friends, but also a refuge from the rigours of the world beyond the front door.

However, this ideal home could be far from the reality you experience each day: maybe you're running out of space to store your possessions, closets are overflowing with clothes you rarely or never wear at all, maybe you have a hard time finding items like your car keys or important paperwork because they always end up in random places, maybe you just feel overwhelmed by the idea of getting started to finally put things in order.

Here's where ClutterMeister comes in handy. I provide assistance with the 4 E's:
  • Empathy: Before doing anything else, I listen to you. Because YOU are the person living in the space, YOU are the person who has seen certain elements in your home lacking in perfection, YOU decide to which degree you wish me to be involved in your decluttering project. I provide the support you want, nothing more, nothing less.
  • Expertise: I take note of your initial comments and then evaluate the space from a decluttering point of view, without preconceptions. And then come up with solutions that suit you. I also know the right people to bring in to help overcome unexpected issues during any project - provided you agree to it.
  • Efficiency: I pride myself on being practical and efficient. I firmly believe that lagging behind schedule or not showing up for appointments without timely warning is simply unacceptable.
  • Education: Decluttering is not a one-off activity. Teaching you how to help yourself and avoid clutter in the future is part and parcel of any decluttering project we embark upon together.
