About Me
Get to know me
Prior to starting An organised you, my career was in the corporate sector spanning over 30 years’ assisting busy people with their organising needs and projects.
My earlier career was in project management and Senior Executive Assistance to CEO’s and latterly I worked for a leading management consultancy specialising in LEAN and Six Sigma improvement methodologies.
I enjoy working with clients of all ages and feel fortunate to have been working in the organising industry for a number of years and have therefore gained invaluable experience working with a variety of lovely clients… retired people, professional entrepreneurs, medics and business executives, busy parents as well as confidentially supporting clients who are experiencing mental health challenges such as depression, OCD, anxiety or hoarding disorder at Level I or Level II or organising and productivity challenges of ADHD or Chronic Disorganisation. I am a Level II Chronic Disorganization Specialist® and a member of the Association for Coaching.
I am a mum of two teenagers and in my spare time I love music, exercise, running, the countryside, interiors and of course organising (we all benefit from continuous improvement!) and am slave to our demanding but lovely family pets too! For many years I have been trusted to provide professional support, advice and help to others with their organising needs.
I am passionate about exercise, decluttering and organising and its benefits to us as we age as it helps us improve our wellbeing, mental health, time management and productivity but also is so kind to those we love
