Home organising – getting professional support
I’ve provided professional home organising support since I set up Free Your Space in 2014. The majority of my work has been with ADHD clients, helping them to find ADHD-friendly solutions and systems so that they can create a home which feels more ‘them’.
If you want to find out more about how this works in practice, see one of my clients talk about our work together below.
NB I am based in Norway until November 2025, so in the meantime I am offering on-line support and ADHD coaching support – find out more here. (I will begin booking new clients for in-home organising support from late autumn.)
Here are a couple of other options well-worth exploring:
- Visit www.apdo.co.uk to find another professional organiser who will be able to support you. Put in your postcode and include additional ‘specialisms’ if necessary). I recommend speaking with several organisers to find the best ‘fit’ for you.
- I highly recommend The Declutter Hub*. This online membership programme is run by fellow professional organisers Ingrid Jansen & Lesley Spellman. Both professional organisers are experts with over 10 years of experience working with clients.The Declutter Hub has some fab resources- a free Facebook group with regular challenges, & great podcasts. (I sometimes listen to these to inspire my own decluttering projects). Their paid membership programme gives access for one year of support, compared to eight hours of in-home support from me, so I often recommend it to clients. (I believe joining is a no-brainer, whether you’re on a budget, or just want to organise your home over a longer period with their support).*NB I have always recommended The Declutter Hub to clients. However I am now an affiliate, so if you join using this link I do receive commission.
Lena talks about working with me…
1. Lena – before working with me
Lena has ADHD and was looking for support from a professional organiser. She talks here about how her ADHD makes it challenging to stay organised. Lena wanted to find a more maintainable way of managing her home environment which worked for her.
She talks about her fears about working with a professional organiser, and how our initial phone conversation reassured her.
2. Lena – during her work with me
Lena has ADHD and wanted support to find a more maintainable ‘Lena-style’ way of managing her home environment. Here she talks about her first two sessions with me – how we worked together. She talks about the importance of being able to express her needs during the session. She mentions her surprise at enjoying the sessions and how I supported her as her energy & motivation varied during the session.
3. Lena talks about what has changed
Lena talks in the final video about what’s changed as a result of our work. She previously felt embarrassed by her home and turned friends away. She now has a cosy home she enjoys. Other benefits are: getting ready more easily; unpacking after trips away, and most importantly; finding a way back to ‘order’ even after setbacks. She notices better quality of life, self esteem and understanding of herself.
