Organising Services: Adelaide (specialising in ADHD)

Are you yearning for a sense of relaxation, happiness, and contentment within the sanctuary of your home? Do you find yourself overwhelmed without understanding why?

A cluttered space can lead to a cluttered mind. Sometimes, the apparent visual cleanliness of your home can be deceiving, as the hidden chaos behind closed doors contributes to the problem. It’s not a mere matter of “out of sight, out of mind.”

“A place for everything and everything in its place.”

It benefits the entire family when everyone knows where everything belongs and how to put it back in its designated spot.

We comprehend the busyness of life and the challenges it brings, whether you have young children, teenagers, or are nearing retirement. It’s easy to feel “out of control” wondering where to start and how things spiraled into chaos. Rest assured, you are not alone in this experience.

When I visit your home or office, my aim is to understand your unique identity and how your space currently functions. We will develop a strategy to create more breathing room, followed by implementing systematic processes and storage solutions. My goal is to ensure you can always find what you’re looking for, providing you with a newfound sense of order and tranquility.

Common obstacles

How do I get Started?
To begin, it’s best to tackle a small task first. Your unique circumstances will determine the size of the job and the time or space you have available to complete it. The key is to avoid taking on more than you can manage, as you don’t want to end up with a bigger mess than when you started. Start small and gradually build momentum to ensure a successful and manageable decluttering process.

What if I dispose of something I might need later?
The fear of letting go of items that could potentially be useful in the future is a common concern. However, the key is to make decisions based on your present circumstances. Consider whether it is more important to maintain an organised living environment, free from an excess of rarely used or unnecessary possessions, or to hold onto everything you “don’t use” in case you may need it someday. It’s important to acknowledge that there may be instances where you look back and regret discarding certain items. Embrace the fact that such moments might occur, and focus instead on the benefits of living in a clutter-free and organised space.

How can I enlist my family’s support in achieving my goal?
It’s not uncommon for clients to feel alone in their desire to organise their home, especially when their family members may not be fully supportive. However, it’s crucial to consider the needs and perspectives of all household members and establish simple and attainable goals that cater to individuals of all ages and abilities. By involving the whole family in the process and ensuring that everyone’s input is valued, you can foster a sense of shared responsibility and motivate everyone to contribute towards creating an organized and harmonious living environment.

Advice for Hoarding Disorder:

Hoarding Disorder is distinct from simply owning an excess of possessions for one’s living space. It’s essential for family and friends to recognise that individuals with Hoarding Disorder often find comfort and security in their possessions. Therefore, it is crucial never to enter their home and discard their belongings without seeking professional help from a psychiatrist, psychologist, or psychotherapist, or at least consulting someone knowledgeable about the potential impact of such actions. While you may believe that clearing out items and creating space is what the person needs, it can lead to further complications in the future.

The primary objective when working with someone with Hoarding Disorder is to establish rapport. Hoarding is a complex disorder rooted in underlying emotional issues, and each individual has their own unique set of causes. To help them understand their situation, it is crucial to create a non-judgmental environment where they feel safe opening up. Identifying and addressing barriers is necessary to achieve the desired outcome.

The client must trust that the person assisting them is genuinely there to help overcome their obstacles, rather than simply discarding their possessions and tidying up the mess. The objective is to alleviate the pressure to change while encouraging them to consider a new way of life and experience the positive effects it can bring. This process should be undertaken alongside therapy to provide comprehensive support.

 

 

  • It is so good to live in a place where everything has its own place to live. So everything is easy to find, and to return to its designated spot. Order prevails.

    Sarah is an expert at knowing how to provide a special place for everything. She works with you to see which way would suit your needs best, and then it is done. For the first time I know where to find my stuff, and I have spare space in my cupboards and drawers.

    All we did was remove what wasn’t needed, and find a special container for everything I wanted to continue using.

    Sarah is magic. I would recommend her to anybody who, like me, needs help in setting up a household system of organisation.

  • Dear Sarah, Thankyou for helping me get my life back on track!

    When you came to my home, I realised I had packed away so much I could not let go of and it was depressing me because I could not bring myself to do anything with these ‘things’ that I really had not looked at in years, to make space for what I did need.

    When I employed your services and had the pleasure of you coming into my home and helping me, I realised you really were a god send!
    I found you to be polite, honest, and respectful in my home, both towards myself, my partner and also towards my belongings. You also helped by suggesting great organising ideas for future use to which I am extremely appreciative for.

    Thank you Sarah from the bottom of my heart for helping me with my home. I feel like I have a new lease on life without the constant pressure of living in an unorganised mess. –Tanya
