Decluttering & Organising in London

Who this is for

You might be:

A time-poor professional wanting a calmer, more functional home

Dealing with limited storage in period conversions or new builds

Living with ADHD, perimenopause, or burnout and needing ADHD-friendly support

Preparing for a move, post-move settling, or renovation prep

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.

Common Scenarios in London Homes

Living in London means dealing with:

Limited storage in period conversions and new builds

Vertical space that's underused (high ceilings, awkward corners)

Shared spaces in house shares or family homes with multiple people's stuff

Fast-paced lives where clutter happens faster than you can manage it

Transient storage (suitcases, seasonal items, work equipment) that never quite finds a home

No judgement. Sustainable systems. Calm support.

Transform your London home from 'I can't cope' to calm

London homes are brilliant, and often short on storage. Whether you're in a family house or a compact flat, clutter quickly becomes a stress multiplier: you can't find what you need, surfaces fill up, and you end up spending your weekends 'resetting' rather than resting.

I help London clients create simple, maintainable systems that work with real life, kids, careers, travel, ADHD or menopausal brains, house shares, renovations and everything in between.

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 clear the bottlenecks, then set up simple systems you can maintain without constant effort.

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 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.

Local, Practical Donation Support

At the end of each session, we'll donate items to the local charity shop(s) you prefer.

Please note: Opening times and donation rules can change, so we'll double-check before drop-off.

What clients say

Jo was very kind and patient with me when she helped me put in systems, organise and tidy some key areas in my flat. Three years later, the systems still work!
