(Peri)menopause Friendly Decluttering & Organising in London

No judgement. Working with your brain, not against it

Perimenopause does not just affect your body. It affects your brain. Oestrogen and progesterone play a significant role in executive function, and the mental skills that allow you to plan, organise, prioritise, and make decisions. As those hormones fluctuate, so does your capacity for all of those things. On some days, you are fine, but on others, the thought of tackling just one kitchen cupboard feels genuinely impossible.

This is not you failing, and it is not permanent. But in the meantime, your home may have become harder to manage than it used to be, and the usual advice about motivation and willpower is not going to cut it. I offer professional decluttering and organising that works with your current brain capacity, not against it. Sessions are calm, unhurried, and entirely non-judgemental.

Who this is for

You might be:

Noticing that keeping on top of your home is harder than it used to be

Experiencing brain fog, decision fatigue, or memory lapses that are new for you

Starting organising tasks and becoming overwhelmed before you finish them

Feeling behind on admin, paperwork, or household tasks that once felt manageable

Frustrated that the usual tips and methods simply are not working

Aware that your home is affecting your mood, and not sure where to start

How I Work Differently

I am a Professional Organiser based in Croydon, South London, and I am AuDHD, meaning I have ADHD and autism, and I have been post menopause. So when I talk about executive dysfunction and decision fatigue, I am not reading from a script. I have lived it, and I continue to live it. In fact, I first really noticed my ADHD and the chaos it caused to my executive function when I hit perimenopause.

My sessions are tailored around your capacity on the day, not based on the plan you booked. If you need to stop, we stop. If a decision is too hard, we put that item aside and come back to it. I do not pressure, I do not judge, and I never tell you what to let go of. My job is to create the conditions in which you can make those decisions more easily.

Decluttering v Organising and Why You Usually Need Both

Decluttering is reducing what's in the way. Organising is creating easy systems for what stays.

Most clients need a blend: we don't just put in more storage solutions and fit your stuff, as that is not a sustainable solution. We clear the overflow, then set up simple systems you can maintain without constant effort.

How sessions work (4 or 7 hours at £45/hour)

You choose either a 4-hour or 7-hour session. In a typical session we:

  • Agree the outcome for the day (e.g., 'functional kitchen', 'calm bedroom', 'paperwork triage')

  • Sort fast, keeping decision fatigue in mind

  • Create storage and 'homes' that match your habits

  • Reset the space so it's usable immediately

  • Plan the next small step so progress sticks

No judgement, no pressure, no forcing. You stay in control of decisions, I bring structure, momentum and calm.

What Clients Say

Thank you for organizing my wardrobe. I absolutely love my new space! I had been holding on to so many things I didn’t actually need

Lola, Purley - March 2026

Calm, experienced support — without judgement

Before founding Order From Chaos, I spent over two decades leading complex operations in high-pressure, humanitarian crisis management, and I was awarded an OBE and an Honorary Doctorate from the University of Portsmouth for this work. I have ASD and ADHD (AuDHD).

What that means for you is simple:

  • When things feel overwhelming, I stay calm

  • When decisions feel impossible, I bring structure

  • When chaos feels personal, I remove shame

  • I bring ADHD-friendly / neurodivergent-friendly approaches to my work with you

You're not hiring someone to judge your home. You're hiring someone trained to bring order to complexity, gently, practically, and at your pace.

Something less to think about

There's nothing worse than reaching the end of the day, when all you want to do is put your feet up, but there is a pile of bin bags and boxes by the front door that you need to do something with. So, I will take up to five standard-sized bin bags with me and/or arrange for their collection.
