Are you feeling overwhelmed by the clutter in your home? You’re not alone. Nearly a third of household possessions are unused in UK homes.
And when we consider 47% of people admit that clutter makes them feel stressed, it leads to the question: ‘Why is decluttering so challenging, and can you hire someone to help you declutter?’.
While clutter can cause anxiety, the thought of tackling decluttering can also instil fear or dread, especially for those who experience mental ill health or experience a neurodivergent way of thinking. That’s where we can help.
At For the Love of Tidying, our mission is to help you create relaxing, restful spaces in your home through thoughtful organising and meaningful decluttering.
That’s why we offer a one-to-one decluttering support service in High Peak and surrounding areas, including Manchester and Sheffield, as well as online decluttering courses through our membership programme.
In this blog, we’ll explore what a decluttering service involves and how to choose the right option for you, whether that’s in-person or online.
What a Decluttering Service Actually Involves
So, to answer the question: ‘Can you hire someone to help you declutter?’, the answer is yes, absolutely!
It can be daunting to invite someone into your home when you don’t feel comfortable in the environment around you. But you have nothing to worry about.
Professional organising and decluttering services are supportive and non-judgmental, creating a safe space for you to learn how to take care of your home and yourself.
Depending on the provider, a decluttering service typically works by first conducting an assessment of the home to gain an understanding of your lifestyle, challenges, and goals.
Again, no judgment is ever given; remember, decluttering services are also about finding peace within yourself.
Once the assessment has been completed and the declutterer has created an action plan with you based on your needs and priorities, then the sorting process can begin.
During this period of change, the declutterer will help you create systems that work best for you, offering practical tips and guidance, all while providing you with emotional support.
Choosing the Right Decluttering Support for You
Are you ready to find the right decluttering service for you? Before you start, reflect on the following questions:
- What approach feels right for me?
- Is there a pace that suits my lifestyle?
- How important is flexibility to me?
Once you’ve considered these, you’ll be able to decide if one-to-one support is best for you or if online mentoring is the right choice.
Here at For the Love of Tidying, we offer both an in-person decluttering support service around the Manchester and Sheffield areas, as well as a nationwide online decluttering membership.
Each option can be tailored to suit your needs and personal life; whether you want to take small, manageable steps or tackle big goals head-on, we’re here to help.
Here’s a breakdown of the two to help you decide which is right for you.
Why Local Decluttering Support Makes a Difference
Whether you’re based near us in High Peak or in the surrounding areas of Manchester and Sheffield, having a nearby decluttering service has many great benefits.
Organising and decluttering your home is often a challenging and emotional process, whether you’re struggling for space, trying to part with sentimental items, or simply don’t have the time.
A local decluttering service like ours offers the benefit of accountability and consistency, helping you to keep on track to reach your goals. Additionally, through regular visits, we’ll build a trusted, professional relationship, making it that little bit easier each time to trust us and our expertise.
That being said, a professional declutterer will never pressure you to part with items that you’re not comfortable with losing. That’s the benefit of being local, we can take things at your pace; no rush, just steady progress.
Online Decluttering Support for Busy Lives
Or perhaps you’re not local but would still like some guidance and motivation for sorting and organising your clutter? If so, then our monthly online decluttering course is the perfect option.
Cluttered to Calm is our online decluttering membership designed to clear your home and your head. It’s the best option for those who prefer self-paced, flexible support with access to a friendly, virtual community.
