Core Beliefs:
Every person deserves their home to be their favourite place: their sanctuary, their safe-space, their sanctum of solace. A house that welcomes them home, helps them relax, is easily maintained and where every item has a place from where it is found, and to where it is returned, quickly and easily. A home that saves time, energy, money and mental load every single day.
I understand how quickly and easily chaos and clutter can begin to overwhelm both rooms and the people who use them, and how challenging, time-consuming, emotionally draining, and exhausting it can be trying to pull those spaces back into order with effective organisation.
What to expect:
It is a privilege to support clients through the process of decluttering possessions that no longer suit their lifestyle or are required in their future.
It is my aim, in every bespoke project, to curate systems, storage and spaces that support and suit the lifestyles of the client discreetly and efficiently - with the benefit of comprehensive experience and the bonus of good humour!
Specialisms
Public Speaking
Speaking engagements are welcomed - I have shared my Living Decluttered and Organised presentation with many Women's Institute groups across South Yorkshire as well as Yorkshire Countrywomen and Ladies Club groups. I teach groups about what clutter is, how it impacts on mental health and well-being as well as inspiring and equipping women with tips for decluttering and organising their own homes.
ADHD
Having worked in education for many years, I have years of training around, and experience in dealing with, neurodiversity including autism and ADHD. I have deep understanding of how they make maintaining order in a house difficult, and what can be done to support someone living with those challenges.
I work with clients with autism and ADHD, taking organising at a pace that suits them, creating an environment they can manage and maintain.

'I highly recommend The Sort and Style Booth. She helped us with our child's bedroom. It was cluttered and messy. Gillian transformed the space making it easier to manage and maintain. She offered multiple solutions and worked with what suited us the best.' NR
'It was an absolute pleasure having Gillian in my house. She was here for just one day and in that time totally transformed... my son's bedroom... This transformation from 'little kid' to 'big boy' room was much needed and I'm glad I got Gill to come and do this job for me. I've tried doing it myself but there's no way I could've done it all in just one day. Amazing work, lady!' LD
'The impact Gill had on my space has been incredible! She ...transformed a room that was becoming increasingly cluttered and stressful, into one that is managable and calming. ... Not only has The Sort and Style Booth changed the way my space looks but has helped clear, relax and ease my mental state, too. Couldn't recommend anything more!' EMA
