I'm Sue and I'm a Professional Organiser based in Blackpool supporting clients within a 60 minute drive of my home, I help people to achieve the home/office they desire. Whether you're struggling for time, short on space, recently bereaved, feeling overwhelmed or just need guidance on how to organise your surroundings and belonging, I am here to help you. Whilst it's lovely to be in a clients home I can also provide support via video or telephone calls - both work extremely well and whether we work together in-house or virtually it all starts with a chat.
Knowing where and how to start can be overwhelming. I understand and that's why I'm here to help. I don't judge - there are many reasons why things have built up - I focus on moving forward and regaining the home you want to live in and enjoy.
In addition to the specialisms detailed below I also support people needing help
Following bereavement there are so many unpleasant aspects to face and one of the hardest can be sorting through their effects. With a little help & direction, a friendly face and a reassuring comforting service I can gently work with you, at your pace, to clear a room, or full home, to help you move forward or place a property for sale.
Probate - Preparing a property for sale using my previous project management experience I can take on as much or as little as you require - liaising with auction houses, clearance, cleaning, sanitising companies, sorting & packing possessions/paperwork to retain; pet rehoming and estate agent valuations.
Whatever you are overwhelmed by please give me a call and we can discuss how I can be of help to you. Please take a look at my website and get in touch. Many thanks, Sue
Specialisms
Home Staging
Your house may be on the market but is it ready for sale? Having a well presented property can make all the difference in achieving the best market price in the quickest timescale.
I can "view" your property as a potential buyer and provide a report of my observations and suggestions to help you achieve your sale. Following discussion of my findings I can help you get things in order as quickly as possible.
Move Management
Moving home: As a partner with The Senior Move Partnership I have plenty of experience in supporting clients with downsizing and moving home.
Moving house can be a huge challenge, especially if you’ve been in the same place for years, or have to manage it on top of an already full life.
I can help with sorting through cupboards, managing auction or charity interest, planning room layouts and even project manage the move day for you - furniture placement, unpacking essentials and getting the beds made up.
Maybe you just need help with part of the process – change of utilities/insurance/mail redirection etc or an extra pair of hands for unpacking.
Retirement/Residential home - if you need to downsize the chances are you need to reduce furniture and possessions dramatically. I have experience working with older clients who have faced this situation and can make the move a painless and organised process. I can liaise with auction houses, charities, clearance companies and get into those awkward cupboards you've not been in for a while to sort through what you wish to keep or dispose of.
Hoarding behaviour
Knowing where and how to start can be overwhelming. I understand and that's why I'm here to help. I don't judge - there are many reasons why things have built up - I focus on moving forward and regaining the home you want to live in and enjoy. If you're happy to start to let things go I'm more than happy to provide the guidance you may need to keep things on track, prevent getting overwhelmed and to help you make the progress you're ready to achieve.
Business/work productivity
Paperwork / Home Office organisation - Paperwork is the bane of many people’s lives whether at home or in an office environment. Setting up a simple filing system and putting clear processes in place can make all the difference.
An easy to maintain system can be set in place and the backlog of papers cleared. I can arrange for the secure disposal of larger volumes of sensitive paperwork.With a background in office management (and a previously qualifies Work Measurement Analyst) I can put processes in place, streamline existing processes and create filing/administrative systems.
Photo Organising
Photographs are a store of memories and often accumulate into large volumes over time and can be overwhelming to tackle.
With support it can be fun, achievable and very rewarding. To have all your memories in order, ready to share with family and friends can be a great achievement. I can help you take a trip down memory lane and get the photograph mountain in order :)
Sue helped me sort through my late wife's possessions and decide what I could part with. What threatened to be an ordeal turned out to be a pleasant experience; useful in creating more storage space.
Sue is a very understanding, non-judgemental and practical person. She is very pleasant to have around the home; has all the qualities I could have wished for. I cannot sing her praises enough.
Sue completely freed up and made homely two bedrooms which were stacked high with furniture...... she transformed the rooms!
