Decluttering & Organising in Kent

No judgement. Sustainable systems. Calm support.

Transform your Kent Home

Kent is the largest county in the south east and one of the most varied, from the commuter towns of Sevenoaks and Tonbridge within easy reach of London, to the historic cathedral city of Canterbury, the coastal towns of Whitstable and Faversham, and the more rural reaches of the Weald. The housing stock is equally diverse: substantial detached homes in the commuter belt, oast house conversions and period farmhouses in the countryside, and Victorian terraces in the older market towns. What connects them is that people choose Kent to settle, and settling means accumulation, often across many years.

Kent homes frequently present the particular challenge of space that has filled up slowly and imperceptibly: a barn, a double garage, a spare room that became a storage room that became a problem.

Order From Chaos provides professional decluttering and organising across Kent with a calm, non-judgemental, ADHD-friendly approach. We work at a pace that fits your life and your brain. Individual, face-to-face sessions are £45 per hour, and virtual sessions are available from £75.

Does Any of This Sound Familiar?

Whether you're in Sevenoaks, Canterbury, Maidstone, Tunbridge Wells, Tonbridge, or a Wealden village, the pattern tends to repeat: family kitchens where meal prep feels like an obstacle course, wardrobes stuffed with clothes from past decades still with their tags on, spare rooms full to the brim, home offices that seem to conspire against you, and garages where no car has been parked for years. You might be a City commuter or busy professional wanting a calmer home after a long working week, living with ADHD/ASD, chronic illness, perimenopause, or burnout, or entering a new chapter such as moving, unpacking, or renovating.

What is Decluttering and Organising?

Decluttering is reducing the things in your home that are getting you down. Organising is creating systems and solutions for the items that remain.

I usually find that the root cause of most problems in homes is the number of items, not a lack of storage, although it can be both.

How Do Sessions Work?

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

Have a quick discussion about what area(s) you want to tackle and what your goals are for your space(s)

Get to work categorising your belongings before starting to work through them systematically to decide on what you are keeping and what you are willing to let go

Work together to decide what the best storage solutions are for you and your family

Implement them or put the wheels in motion to put them in place

No judgement, no pressure, no forcing.

What clients say

It’s a big deal opening up and letting someone into your chaos but Jo made that so much easier than I’d imagined. My pantry didn’t need to be fancy, it needed to be functional and make sense. Jo has a way of putting you at ease so opening up and releasing the chaos didn’t feel so bad. Together we achieved success. A pantry that years on still works, is super functional, so my life has become easier. Thank you.

— Juli, Wainscott

Calm, experienced support — without judgement

I spent over two decades leading complex operations in high-pressure humanitarian crises, helping those affected by disasters such as earthquakes, conflicts and droughts worldwide. In 2026, I was awarded an OBE, followed by an Honorary Doctorate in 2017 for this work. In 2023, I founded Order from Chaos to continue my work helping others. I was diagnosed with ASD (Autism) in 2023 and ADHD in 2025.

What that means for you is simple:

Moving Home?

If you are moving to, from or within Kent, I can help you declutter and stage your home so that estate agent photos show your home in its best light, and prospective purchasers are wowed when they walk through the door. Once you've moved, my team will unpack your belongings and store them away, so that you don't have to.
