For 20 years, I’ve helped people turn chaos into calm through my business, Benella Home Organisation. Based in Hampshire and West Sussex, I work with clients across in Hampshire, Sussex, Surrey and London upon request to create organised, welcoming homes and smoother life transitions.
Known for my warm, practical approach, I combine empathy with efficiency to help people declutter, downsize and move with confidence. Whether it’s a full house move, sentimental sorting or digital overwhelm, I bring structure, understanding and humour to every session.
As a certified Move Manager with The Senior Move Partnership and trained Photo Organiser, I’m passionate about helping families preserve memories while creating space for the next chapter. I also offer online Power Hours, accountability check ins and digital products, so clients can make lasting progress at their own pace.
An expert in bereavement home organising, I also help clients prepare a home for sale following the passing of a loved one. Having lived through this myself and working with Solicitors in probate cases, I take pride in helping those left behind at such a difficult time in their lives.
Every project is completely confidential, handled with kindness, skill and a touch of Benella magic.

I would definitely recommend making the time to work with Jo and get your house in order. You are amazing! It's so much easier and less stressful to work alongside a Professional - Stelios Kiosses
Jo at Benella is the most BRILLIANT organiser. She takes all the pressure off. She enjoys her job. It’s like magic. She’s incredibly loyal and has supported us through many trying times. Can’t recommend her enough. A ray of sunshine. Trevor Eve and Sharon Maughan-Eve
Thank you so much Jo, my wardrobe, kitchen pantry and a start on my photographs was just an amazing accomplishment in our 3 hour session. SR, Chichester
