Clutter can have a big impact on how you feel in your home. Let me work my organisational magic and help you fall back in love with your space!
Benefits of Decluttering
1) Saves you time – No more wasting time searching for things! I’ll help you put practical systems in place so everything has a home and is easier to find.
2) Saves you money – When you know what you have and where to find it, you're less likely to buy duplicates. Grouping similar items together can be a real eye-opener – you might be surprised by how many you already own!
3) Saves you energy – An organised home is easier to keep clean and tidy, leaving you more time and energy for the things you enjoy, whether that's hobbies, seeing friends or enjoying some well-earned downtime.
4) Creates calm – Clutter can leave us feeling overwhelmed and make it harder to relax and enjoy our homes. Let's work together to make your space feel more manageable, organised and enjoyable to live in.
Services Offered:
As a trained therapist and bereavement counsellor, I bring a patient, sensitive and non-judgemental approach to helping you create a home that works for you.
I can help you declutter and organise anything from an individual room to a whole house. I also support clients with downsizing, preparing their homes for sale, and unpacking and organising their new homes. I offer sensitive support to families sorting through a loved one's belongings following a bereavement. For larger projects or jobs that need to be completed quickly, I can provide a team to help.

Specialisms
Downsizing
Downsizing can be an exciting opportunity to simplify your life and embrace a new chapter. Whether you're moving somewhere smaller, closer to family or simply ready for a change, I can help make the transition easier and more enjoyable.
I offer practical, patient and non-judgemental support to help you sort through your belongings, decide what to take with you and work out what will fit comfortably in your new space. Together, we'll prioritise the things you love and use, and find new homes for items you no longer need. I can also help unpack and organise your belongings in your new home, so you can enjoy your new surroundings from day one.
Bereavement and Loss
As a trained bereavement counsellor, with experience working for Cruse Bereavement Support, I understand that sorting through a loved one's belongings can be an emotional and sometimes overwhelming experience. Possessions often hold precious memories, and there is no right or wrong way to approach the process.
I offer a gentle, understanding approach, giving families the time and space they need to decide what to keep, pass on or let go of. Where needed, I can also provide practical help to prepare a property for sale, including carefully sorting belongings, and organising the removal of unwanted items. For larger projects, I can provide a team to help, always working with sensitivity and respect for the family and their loved one's possessions.
ASD / Autism
A large proportion of my clients are neurodivergent, and I have lots of experience supporting autistic clients with decluttering and home organisation. I understand that clutter can build up for many different reasons, and I recognise that everyone works differently, and there's no one-size-fits-all approach to getting organised. I work alongside each client to understand their individual challenges, break tasks down into manageable steps and find practical solutions that suit the way they think and live. The aim is to create a home that works for them, with systems that feel manageable and realistic to maintain.
ADHD
I have years of experience working in mental health, alongside personal experience of neurodiversity through supporting my son through the formal ADHD diagnosis process. From experience, I understand that neurodivergent clients can often feel overwhelmed when faced with clutter and everyday organising tasks. Difficulties with motivation, focus, decision-making and task completion can make it hard to know where to start.
My approach is patient, practical and non-judgemental. I break tasks down into manageable steps, work at each client's pace and help them develop organising systems that work for their individual needs.
Moving, Packing and Unpacking
Moving house can be an exciting new chapter, but there's often a lot to organise along the way! Having moved house nine times myself, I know first-hand how much there is to think about and how helpful an extra pair of hands can be.
I offer practical, hands-on support to help make the whole process easier, from decluttering and staging your home for sale to unpacking and organising belongings in your new home. For larger projects, or those that need to be completed quickly, I can provide a team to help get everything done efficiently. From getting your property ready for sale to making your new house feel like home, I'll help make your move as smooth and stress-free as possible.
Amazing! Words cannot express how wonderful Louise has been. She guides and advises, is professional, respectful and empathetic. My home has been transformed over the period Louise has been supporting me with my 40 plus years of clutter and hoarding. I cannot recommend Louise highly enough. Thank you Louise - you are like a magic wand. Sarah - Simply Organised Client, South Hams.
I don't have the right words to describe how amazing it was working with Louise. I searched for a long time until I felt brave enough to send an email and ask for help. I read so many profiles on APDO and Louise really stood out, and she was everything her profile described and more. She was kind, friendly and patient with me and my children, who she also included in the process. She has completely changed our mindsets, we are now confident enough to let go of things that don't bring us joy and we now know how to organise the things that do. Our house was like a storage unit before - and now it feels like a home. Thank you Louise, you have changed our lives. Lisa - Simply Organised Client, Teign Valley
Louise is more than Simply Organised, she is Simply Amazing! She has helped me to transform our home, I cannot recommend her highly enough. She is friendly, kind and non-judgemental. We feel so much happier in our decluttered home, and cannot believe how amazing it looks, we keep going round to different rooms just to look and admire how wonderful it all is now we’ve sorted it all out. I am so glad I took the plunge and booked Louise, it was so worth it. thank you Louise. Nikki - Simply Organised Client, Exeter
