You might be familiar with the concept of minimalism and well-known organising personalities like Marie Kondo. But what many people don’t understand is what a professional organiser actually does. We get asked this quite often, so to help give you a better idea of what professional organisers do, we’ve shared some of the specific tasks we handle.
What is a Professional Organiser?
A professional organiser is a trained specialist who helps individuals declutter, organise and optimise their living environment. Our services go far beyond just “cleaning up a mess”. A professional organiser uses practical systems, expert strategies and emotional support to help create functional spaces that reduce stress, improve efficiency, and well-being. We aim to change how your environment is managed to prevent clutter from building up again in the future.
Most organisers specialise in residential work, while others focus on businesses, time management or even life coaching. Our goal is to find customised solutions to remove clutter and disorganisation from our clients’ lives, making their personal spaces easy to use and efficient.
Types of Organising Services
Decluttering & Sorting
Decluttering involves sorting through your belongings to decide what to keep and what to discard, donate or recycle. It’s the foundation of effective organisation and helps dispose of unnecessary items. There are many different ways to declutter, and the best approach depends entirely on the client’s individual needs and preferences.
Creating Storage Solutions
Organisers also help you make the most of your space. We can assess a room and offer practical storage solutions that suit your home, routines and preferences. If your wardrobe is overflowing, you can’t find anything in your kitchen, or your garage hasn’t been touched in years, we can create systems to bring order and accessibility back to those areas.
Developing Organisational Systems
Professional organisers have an in-depth knowledge of the organisational systems. We start by examining the space, identifying key problem areas and working with the client to create a solution. Together, we will break the project into manageable steps that suit your pace and goals. During the organising session, we’ll work alongside you to implement changes and introduce practical solutions. We will also help establish routines and develop habits to ensure our clients stay organised.
Moving & Relocation Assistance
Some organisers can help people manage the planning and logistics of moving house. This includes everything from packing and unpacking your belongings to organising your new home. They can also assist with downsizing and decluttering before you move, so you don’t have to pack any unwanted items.
