Decluttering & Organising in Richmond

Who this is for

You might be

A busy professional or family who wants a calmer, more functional home

Someone preparing to sell and needing their property to look its best

Living with ADHD, perimenopause, or burnout and needing support that fits your capacity

Overwhelmed by the volume of decisions, what to keep, where to put it, where to start

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 Richmond Homes

Garages and outbuildings that have become invisible storage rather than usable space

Wardrobes full of clothes from multiple seasons, sizes, and life phases

Kitchens where the storage doesn't match the way you actually cook

Home offices that undermine focus rather than support it

Spare rooms that have quietly become dumping grounds for 'later' decisions

No judgement. Sustainable systems. Calm support.

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

Richmond homes are often beautiful, generous Victorian and Edwardian properties, riverside living, and leafy streets. But behind the well-maintained frontage, many households are quietly struggling with the same reality: too much stuff, not enough systems, and never quite enough time to address it.

Whether it's the garage that's become a graveyard for previous house moves, the wardrobe full of clothes you don't wear, or that one room everyone quietly avoids, I can help you reclaim your Richmond home, at a pace that works for you.

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, including Richmond Aid, British Heart Foundation, and others along the high street.

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

What clients say

Thank you so much Jo for organising my kitchen — it is now beautifully organised and a total joy when I open up my cupboards! Jo turned up with storage solutions, a label maker and whizzed through the project with focus and enthusiasm. I highly recommend!
