Hi, I’m Cher Casey, a mum, wife, and California-native who loves helping people transform their homes and lives. I believe our surroundings impact our well-being, and that reclaiming chaotic spaces can promote calm, clarity, efficiency, and productivity.
I began professional decluttering and organising in California in 2010, before pursuing my graduate studies in York in 2012. Juggling a busy, family life with academic work left me overwhelmed and disorganised. After submitting my thesis, I thoroughly decluttered our home and created systems that my whole family could follow. I rediscovered the many benefits of an uncluttered and organised home, and it’s so rewarding aiding clients along their individual and life-changing journeys!
I've had other professional roles, such as teaching and mentoring university students, administration, international tour guiding, and childcare. In each job, I've used and developed different organising methods and strengthened my people skills. Drawing on these experiences, I bring a considerate, non-judgmental, and respectful approach to decluttering and organising homes. I know that each person and each home is different, and l love finding bespoke, and maintainable solutions.
I’ve helped a wide range of clients create their ideal living environments, and I look forward to discussing your needs and how I can help you!

I have helped several clients with ADHD, and I've completed the course 'ADHD for Organisers" taught by Sarah Bickers, ADHD specialist and coach. I enjoy working with clients with ADHD and helping them finding the best practices to declutter and stay organised.
"Cher's services are priceless, if only we could duplicate her and keep her in our homes! When I hired Cher, I was in a vulnerable place and I needed someone I could trust. I had recently gone through a divorce, and I had a lot of items with emotional and painful connections to my marriage. I didn't feel I had the strength to go through our belongings alone. The most impactful part of the process was Cher's ability to work together. I really felt very empowered throughout, and I was finally able to take control of what I thought was going to be a painful process. I have a clear vision of where I want to be in 6 months, and I'm excited to continue my journey to de-clutter and living my life in a more happy, peaceful surrounding. Cher treated me with respect and was mindful of my emotional state. She is a wonderful and talented organiser. I can't recommend her enough". -Sara R. York
"Cher's help has made such a difference for our family. Our house has become our home again. I am less stressed and I enjoy spending time at home. It feels lighter and I do too! I am no longer embarrassed to have friends stay for the weekend - it feels like a welcoming space for everyone that walks through the front door. Before we hired Cher, I felt constantly overwhelmed by the state of the house; it felt chaotic and very hard to keep on top of. To be honest it made me feel like I wanted to move house and start again. Now, there are certain places in the house that give me a lot of enjoyment; for example, the porch is such a lovely welcoming space and it makes me smile every time I come home. Cher had great suggestions for putting in systems so that it doesn't become overwhelming again. A MASSIVE thank you to Cher for being so patient, encouraging and strong when needed! It's hard not to tell stories as you go through your things, especially when there is grief. She listened with kindness and patience. I would whole-heartedly recommend The Mindful Organiser." -Sarah C. York
"We hired Cher to help us declutter before we put our house on the market, and her services have literally halved our workload. Our house looks amazing, and we can just pack and go. I absolutely loved the fact that, as part of the service, Cher took away everything that we no longer wanted. Once we decided to let go of something, it was gone by the end of the day. We have saved ourselves a huge amount of time, which is vital when running a business and having a young family. We are now unsure whether to move or not as we have both fallen back in love with our house. I recommend her services to anyone!" - Kate G. York
