Decluttering is rarely about stuff.

It is about the decisions we did not have the capacity to make at the time.

The lives we were living when the clutter built up.

And the emotions tied up in what we hold on to.

If your home feels heavy, messy, or overwhelming, it does not mean you are failing.

It usually means you have been carrying a lot.

This is why quick fixes do not last.

And why kindness and support matter so much in this process.

If this resonates, take it slowly.

You do not need to do everything at once.

And you do not have to do it alone.

The “don’t know” card is one of my favourites in the Home Declutter Kit.

Decluttering asks us to make a lot of decisions. And decision fatigue is real.

Not everything needs an answer straight away.

The “don’t know” card is for the things you need to sleep on.

The things you might want to talk through.

The things that feel a bit too alive to decide on today.

It is different from the gremlins card, which is for things that are genuinely not ready to be touched yet. Big stuff. Tender stuff. That can be wrapped up and left alone for a while.

The “don’t know” card is more current. It gives you permission to pause without getting stuck.

One important rule though. It is a pause, not a forever place. Otherwise it becomes a way of avoiding decisions altogether.

Giving yourself time is part of a kind decluttering process.

If you are finding decision making exhausting, the Home Declutter Kit is designed to support you through moments like this.

This moment feels very special.
The paperback copies of The Secret Life of Clutter have arrived and I am quietly emotional about it.
This book has lived in my head, my work, and my conversations for years. Seeing it arrive in this form feels like a full circle moment.
It is about so much more than stuff.
It is about the stories we tell ourselves.
The things we hold on to.
And what our homes quietly reflect back to us.
If you have ever felt stuck, overwhelmed, or ashamed about clutter, this book was written with you in mind.
Thank you for being here and for supporting this work.

Before I rush into plans or goals for the year ahead, I like to pause and check in with where I actually am.

One tool I return to again and again is the Wheel of Life.

It gives a gentle, honest snapshot of how balanced my life feels right now across things like home, work, relationships, health and personal growth.

Not as something to fix immediately, but as a way of noticing what is asking for attention.

If life feels busy, full or slightly out of sync, this can be a really grounding place to start.

You can try the Wheel of Life for yourself here:

Approach it with curiosity and kindness. There are no right answers, only insight.

“So much more than I expected.”

Many people come to decluttering expecting it to be purely practical, and are surprised by how much lighter they feel afterwards.

This work is about clarity, calm and creating a home that genuinely supports you.

Sometimes one session can shift far more than you imagine.

The New Year often brings a quiet question.

What am I ready to leave behind, and what do I want to make space for now?

Clutter can feel louder at this time of year. Not because you have failed, but because you are sensing the need for something to shift.

This is not about starting the year by being ruthless or fixing yourself. It is about listening. Noticing what no longer supports you, and allowing change to unfold gently.

If your home feels ready for a new chapter, begin where you are. Small, thoughtful steps are enough.

Clutter often increases when life is changing.

Moving house, becoming a parent, children leaving home, illness, grief, menopause, retirement. These moments stretch us emotionally, even when they are welcome.

If decluttering feels harder right now, it does not mean you are doing something wrong. It may simply mean you are in transition.

Gentle support can help you move forward without forcing or rushing.

“Helen cleared space in my life for great new things to emerge.”

This is what thoughtful, supported decluttering can do.
Not just clearer rooms, but space for change, growth and what comes next.

My work is about gently supporting people through resistance, helping change feel possible without pressure or judgement.

If clutter feels like it is holding you back, support can make all the difference.

Sometimes clutter is not a problem to fix, but a message to listen to.

Avoidance, fatigue and that quiet longing for calm are often signs that your home is holding more than objects. It is holding stories, decisions and parts of your life that need a little care.

Nothing here needs rushing or forcing. Awareness is often the first gentle shift.

If this resonates, you might like to explore my free resources or start with the Home Declutter Kit.

The paperback edition of The Secret Life of Clutter is now available.

This book grew out of years of listening. To homes. To stories. To the quiet ways our spaces reflect what we are carrying inside.

It is about much more than decluttering. It is about understanding our relationship with our belongings, and how creating physical space can also create emotional clarity and momentum.

“I loved it; it’s original. A perfect way to trash your trash.” Ruby Wax

If you have ever felt weighed down by your possessions, or sensed that clutter is holding more than just things, this book is for you.

My Story

I am an interior designer, professional declutterer and home organiser and creator of the Home Declutter Kit. I believe that both beautiful and functional homes uplift the soul and if any space should be uplifting it needs to be the place you go to recharge, your home. My mission is to help you to remove your psychological blocks that are manifest in your home and therefore block your life.

My passion is to use my interior design skills to bring the wow back into contemplation spaces so that spiritual nourishment can be achieved through designing sacred space. Ministry of Calm has no affiliation with the government.
