I'm Sophie Hamilton and I am a Home Organiser and Professional Declutterer. I work with the wonderful Lighten the Load team in Edinburgh and the Lothians helping busy people to gain control of their homes. Here at LIghten we help our clients to create a clutter-free home for a calmer state of mind. Our empathetic, personal and practical approach to organising your home will leave you feeling uplifted, supported and more in control. Our team can help you with everything from attics to garages; including children's rooms, home offices, kitchens, and sitting rooms. We can help you to prepare your house for sale, or declutter and organise it so that you fall in love with it again. As well as all of this, we work with a reputable and reliable removals company; we have an interior design associate to make your home look as beautiful as it is organised and we also collaborate with a fashion stylist who can help you to re-discover a new wardrobe after we have decluttered it. Kirstie and I are passionate about what we do, and we know how it can change people's lives for the better. We are friendly, professional and enthusiastic. Check out our testimonials to see what people have said about working with us. Sophie Hamilton
Specialisms
ADHD
Qualified in working with clients and families living with ADHD, both diagnosed and undiagnosed. I create practical, achievable systems that support executive function challenges, reduce overwhelm, and help clients feel more in control at home. Always delivered with understanding, flexibility, and patience.
Home Staging
I assist clients preparing their homes for sale by creating welcoming, clutter-free environments that appeal to potential buyers. With an eye for detail and practical organisation, I stage homes in a way that highlights their best features while ensuring they remain functional for everyday living.
Hoarding behaviour
Trained in working sensitively with clients experiencing hoarding behaviours, I provide a compassionate and non-judgemental approach. I support clients to move forward at their own pace, focusing on safety, wellbeing, and long-term strategies for managing belongings.
Personal/family productivity
I help individuals and families create calm, organised routines at home by setting up sustainable systems that reduce stress and save time. With experience supporting households of all sizes, I focus on making day-to-day living easier, lighter, and more productive.
Move Management
I support clients through all aspects of moving — from decluttering and packing, to unpacking and setting up a new home. My approach minimises stress during life’s transitions and ensures a smooth, organised process tailored to each family’s needs.

Sophie and Kirstie were an absolute pleasure to deal with, so professional with both the task in hand and having to work around my manic 3 pet household and me working from home. Leigh, Edinburgh
