Sorting out Suffolk

Clutter can bring such a variety of emotions and often many of them can be negative. I feel fortunate to be able to help clients reduce or eliminate those emotions by working towards a space that they can reclaim and want to live in again. I set  up my business in 2018 and joined APDO in 2019.  In that time I have gained vast experience in a huge spectrum of homes and offices.  My role as a professional declutterer and organiser is one that I enjoy enormously. I'd love to be able to help you reclaim your home or workspace. Services include but are not limited to:

  • Reclaiming spaces
  • Wardrobe declutters
  • Home moves
  • Changes in circumstances, such as downsizing and loss of loved ones
  • Office organisation
  • Space planning before home renovations

Having a visit from SOS has been life changing. As well as helping me to reclaim a room, it has also helped me to view my things in a different way. Keeping only the useful and sentimental items..
It's going to take me more than a sentence two to even try and sum up Liv! she is amazing - hardworking, dedicated and so so supportive, always enthusiastic, never daunted and EXTREMELY non-judgemental. For example: when she came to me, I couldn’t use 3 rooms of my house, and the others were high on the clutter scale. I had been off work with mental illness for over a year (depression / anxiety / bipolar). Friends and family - and social services / the NHS - had offered / tried to help but I couldn’t face them. Now I am back in full time work, can invite people inside my house at any time, every room has a purpose, I am house proud (not embarrassed) AND I can throw things out by myself. I have no idea how many carloads we took to the tip or to be reused/recycled. She ALWAYS made me feel supported, and recognized I was doing as much as I was able - gently challenging in a transformative way… we achieved more together than I ever imagined. The woman is a miracle! And a marvel! I wish she could be bottled or cloned. (I’ve also recommended her services to 4 friends/family struggling with different issues and they’ve all praised her).
I'm thrilled with the results of the SOS clear out because 1 month on its all still tidy and completely organised. SOS trained me to make decisions, keep only what I really wanted to keep guilt free.
