I’m Georgina and I started out as a Professional Organiser, I still am…well, I help to organise people’s homes, but my true passion is to reduce the clutter, hence why I now call myself a ‘Clutter Consultant’. You see, as another organiser once said to me….”our profession is a broad church”…there are so many types of organisers!
From supporting families that desire ‘The Home Edit’ style of beautifully organised decanted ingredients, to supporting people with hoarding tendencies, requires very different people. I am somewhere in between!
I can help you declutter like a demon,
…working through your belongings and helping you to make the right decisions for you and your life. I then reorganise what you have left, I can even purchase storage and furniture which suits your style and space… but my goal is not so much beauty as efficiency and usability in your busy home, which probably has children and full-time working parents thrown in the mix!
I have a lot of before and after photographs you can see, both on my website: www.fortheloveoftidying.co.uk
and also in my Facebook group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/fortheloveoftidying/
I am not suitable for every client, and neither is any other organiser…you have just got to find the best organiser for you!
This is one reason why APDO is so great. It has a section called ‘Find an Organiser’ and each professional organiser has written their own description to explain who they are and how they work, sometimes even who they prefer to work with. Click here to find one near you: https://www.apdo.co.uk/find-an-organiser/
I offer a free discovery call before any booking is made. Some Organisers offer this, a video call, or visit your home. This is our chance to learn about each other and see if we are the best ‘fit’ for each other. When we feel it is right, a session is booked. If I don’t feel that we are right for each other, I can direct you to the APDO website, where I am sure you will find an organiser suited to you and your requirements.
Why might I not be right?
- If you have hoarding tendencies, then your needs are too great for me to give you the full support you may need. ‘Hoarding Disorder’ is a complex medical problem, recognised by the NHS and very specific help is needed from trained professionals. I do not have qualifications (yet) to work confidently with people with ‘Hoarding Disorder’.
- I work best with ‘Clutter Bugs’, people who allow clutter to build up, can find organising their home a struggle, may be chronically disorganised and own many items that they do not need or use.
- We may struggle to make conversation on the phone, it feels very awkward and/or we just don’t feel comfortable with each other…and this is fine. There are many personality types and if I change mine to suit you, just to ‘get the job’ that is not working with integrity which I pride myself on.
- Also decluttering and organising your belongings is a very emotional process. You must feel comfortable to be able to work with me for a 4-hour session or more!
- If we live too far apart. I travel up to 45 minutes from SK22 (the High Peak) for free. After this I do charge my hourly rate. You may not be able to, or want to pay this extra cost, so a nearer organiser may be more suitable.
So, in conclusion, when contacting an Organiser, make sure you can have the conversation before booking, enabling you to decide if the organiser is right for you. There are now quite a few of us out there, so don’t feel pushed in to booking, have a look around and see who ‘Your’ organiser is!
If you would like to know more about me, you can have a look at my website at www.fortheloveoftidying.co.uk or join my free Facebook group where you should feel supported, have your questions answered, be able to share any decluttering struggles and gain inspiration: https://www.facebook.com/groups/fortheloveoftidying/
