Room to Think

General Information

• What would it be like to live in a home that feels more ‘you‘?
• Would you like to be in touch with the things you want without the distraction of the things you don’t?
• How easy is it to find what to wear in the morning to look fabulous?
• Would you like some practical help after the death, or separation from, someone close?
• How would it feel to curate more of your identity in your home, whilst paying full attention to your wellbeing?

Everyone is entitled to room to think. I’m Caroline – I think in categories, have an eye for the aesthetic and a friendly, easy going manner. I offer a confidential, non-judgmental, collaborative service in:

• De-cluttering and organising
• Online organising sessions (virtual organising)
• Clothing
• Bereavement and separation
• Coaching and mentoring POs*
• Positive psychology coaching*

*I have an MSc in Applied Positive Psychology & Coaching Psychology. I am an experienced coach, trained to hold a space and listen exquisitely with no agenda except yours.

K, London says: “on Sunday I had a lunch party, and my home was filled with friends, food and laughter again (something that had seemed so unattainable before I chanced upon your website, but had craved for so long). Last week I completed my Tax Return in record time, (because I knew where all my statements and accounts were), and my bedroom is clear, clean and welcoming for the first time in 6 years…so, who knows what the next few months may hold?

“I hope that anyone who needs reassurance or that extra “oompf” to pick up the phone, to start to make really positive changes in their life and de-clutter, however scary that may be, that they take the opportunity of working with you. You’re a star, and I can’t thank you enough, Caroline.”

Specialist expertise/experience

I’ve attended training and conferences regarding hoarding disorder and am conversant with the current academic literature on the topic. Please contact me for a free consultation to discover if I’m the right person to invite into your home – whether that’s in person or on line. I provide a calm, gentle and kind service and we will find a way to work together that works for you.

I trained to coach as part of an MSc in Applied Positive Psychology and Coaching Psychology at UEL. I am a positive psychology coach, which means I coach with priority and attention to your wellbeing as well as your coaching goals. If appropriate, I may offer you various tools, activities and techniques to help you move further towards achieving what you’d like to happen.

Coaching is an opportunity to hear your thoughts out loud. It works well for people wanting to declutter their homes without physical help (virtual/online organising), as well as for people wanting to make changes (confidence, wellbeing, decisions re next chapter in life etc.). I’m trained to hold a space and listen to you with no agenda except yours.

I’m a friendly, engaging and experienced workshop leader & speaker, particularly in the topics of wellbeing, clutter and possessions. I’ve published research on clutter and wellbeing and can speak approachably and accessibly in all areas of wellbeing (resilience, mindfulness & meditation, compassion etc.). I’m a qualified meditation teacher. I’m a proud member of the APDO training team delivering the Starting a Professional Organising Business course.

I (deliberately) do not have a high profile or following on social media… To get a feel of how I come across, here is a link to a recent television appearance discussing minimalism and meaning.
