worked as a lecturer for fourteen years—teaching politics and social sciences at London University and The Open University.
So, I decided to train as a productivity coach, with the intention of applying my new skills to my career in education. As part of my training at the Coaches Training Institute , I was required to find a real person, who was grappling with a decision, and have a conversation with them to see if I could help them through their impasse.
Initially, I laughed. I didn't know decluttering was a profession, I had never heard of it and definitely never expected to be sorting out people's wardrobes for a living. But shortly after our session, my neighbor recommended me to one of her friends, who needed some help. For around six months after that I did decluttering work on a volunteer basis.
I feel it's important to note that I do not work with people who have hoarding behaviors. Hoarding is a very distinct mental health condition, which requires specialist training and a multidisciplinary approach. I help people who are struggling with everyday, regular clutter. In my eyes, if you're giving away an object, you're not letting go of a relationship. You can continue to cherish the relationship, treasure the memories you have and appreciate the generosity, kindness, and thoughtfulness someone put into choosing something for you.
