Professional organiser and declutterer, home / office organising, home staging, decluttering and packing for a down sizing move and home staging for potential sales marketing material, unpacking and home staging after a move. Some clients just want help with paperwork, in fact I find every client to be different and bespoke my service accordingly.

Bereavement and Loss
My experience in this area started with family and was the basis of my very first client, a young lady with a young family who had lost her husband after a long battle with cancer.

A Tidy Mind Team take pride in doing so in a compassionate and practical supportive way.

You are so good at what you do & provided the support I needed. I would never have got the flat cleared without your help. It means so much to me & I can never thank you enough for all your patience.
Hi Rachel, I can't thank you enough for supporting me through this long journey, putting up with me and most of all knowing how to deal with a hoarder and having the patience to do so and to encourage me along the way. I appreciate it more than I can say. The end is in sight and you did it all and I would not be where I am without you. Thank you for your patience, kindness and support and for prodding me along the way to keep going. You went above and beyond and I just want to say a huge thank you as I never thought at the beginning it would be achievable and that I'd have someone along the way to organize everything and not be phased by it all. It was a huge task in two parts and I can't believe you kept me going and was there all of the way to make sure everything got done. I still can't believe it. This is just to say a huge thank you to you Rachel.
I'm loving what we've done so far, I've been telling everyone about you, look forward to our next session to get my kitchen or wardrobe sorted.
