Hello there!
I'm Katherine, a high energy individual who spent nearly 15 years after graduating, oscillating between demanding corporate jobs in the city and travelling the world. My roles have focussed very much on organising and coordinating people and processes.
I now work at a much more personal level helping individuals, a couple or a family through tangible and practical transitions. I work with you to take stock of your belongings, help you recognise which ones bring value to your lives, and which items can be released from service. By mindfully taking control of your clutter, you can gain that freedom, extra time or peace of mind you feel is currently missing in your life. I can inject that vital enthusiasm you need to get a daunting job done. I am not a therapist but the results can be very therapeutic!
After falling in love and learning to organise a long-distance relationship during 2024, I'll now be splitting my time between London and the Black Country so will be available to support households and businesses in either location for 2025 onwards.
I served as the President of APDO (2018-2021) and I'm a Golden Circle (5+ years) member of NAPO (National Association of Productivity and Organizing Professionals). I was the first person in the UK to gain CPO® (Certified Professional Organizer) status in July 2019.
With 15 years of corporate experience before setting up SortMySpace Ltd, I am familiar with business administration, project management and managing stakeholders in a corporate environment so can support small businesses as well as residential households.
For bigger projects such as house moves and unpacking, I can bring more support to make things as smooth as possible, as soon as possible.
I also offer Exploration Calls virtually if you're thinking of setting up in the industry or currently finding your way in the early years and want to explore your ideas with an established organiser.
Check out my website for more information or contact me for a no-obligation chat as to how I can help you.

Specialisms
Life Coaching
Since late 2023, I have been enrolled in a fascinating 5‐course foundation coach training programme approved by the ICF (International Coach Federation Global). This foundation course with Coach Approach Training is giving me additional skills and techniques for me to steadily bring more coaching elements into my work with clients, both onsite and virtually.
Let's chat if you're keen to hear more about this holistic approach to reviewing your space and how you interact with it.
Public Speaking
Katherine has been a guest speaker for webinars, podcasts, panel discussions and presentations to community groups. She has led workshops of 10-25 attendees as well as addressed audiences of 100+. Her speaker sheet and details are available at https://www.sortmyspace.co.uk/work-together/speaking-events/.
I immediately liked Katherine's energy and personality on the phone and I knew we would get on. Decluttering is very personal and I would not work as well with someone who doesn't understand you and your space.
I asked Katherine to help me get straight on stuff I'd accumulated over a few decades. She worked tirelessly over 5 days to sort through my things with me and help me identify what was essential or not.
Everything has its place now. The piles are still there, but they're labelled and I can easily find what I need. Katherine's work will speak for itself and if you hire her, she will quickly prove her worth
