Happy Home was created from a lifelong love of creating organised spaces in my own home and work life as a headteacher, which helped to calm my busy mind. This has since expanded to help others create calm, safe, organised spaces and systems.
I can help to make your home a Happy Home!
At Happy Home Cornwall, we believe in an individualised, non judgemental approach, as one size does not fit all. I listen to what you want to achieve and what is important to you. This helps me best understand how we can work together. I work with a professional, yet personable, sensitive approach at every step.
I also strive to be as sustainable as possible so where items are surplus to need, I work with, and support, local groups and charities to avoid items going to landfill.
In the initial consultation at your home, office or virtually we will be able to assess and agree what you would like to achieve. This usually takes about an hour.
For this service, there is a charge of £20 for weekdays and £30 for weekends and evenings (deductible if service purchased)
Decluttering sessions are very individual. During our initial consultation with you we will be able to advise how many sessions it would take to declutter and re-organise areas of your home, office or work space.
Sessions are charged at £30 per hour weekdays.
If travel to your home or office is less than 25 miles each way (50 miles in total) from St Ives, Cornwall – travel is free of charge. Any travel in excess of 50 miles (total) will be charged at 45p per mile. This will be discussed during the consultation.
Payment is by cash, or bank account transfer in advance of or on the day of the first session (BACS details are available on request).
I have full public liability insurance and professional indemnity cover.
I am registered with the ICO (Information Commissioners Office) and your data will be handled responsibly.
I have an up to date enhanced DBS.
I hold a waste carrier licence
I have completed training in the following:
*LIfe Coach
*Counselling
*Mental Health FIrst Aid
*Hoarding- Stage 1, 2 & 3
*Chronic Disorganisation
There is a confidentiality clause in my terms & conditions and you can be assured of my professional discretion at all times.
We all gather 'stuff' in our homes, its only natural, but sometimes the 'stuff' can be overwhelming and start to impact our lives negatively.
I can help you declutter so you only have the items that you want, need and value, while introducing systems and habits to help limit the build up in future.
Do you stuggle to find important documents as all your paperwork is together? Do you have mountains of bank statements or bills and are not sure what to keep?
I can help you organise your paperwork and introduce simple, yet effective methods that work for you. I can also ensure all unwanted documents are disposed of confidentiality.
It's often only when we move we realise how much 'stuff' we own. I can help from the very first stages by decluttering with you to ensure your house photos show off your home to its full potential, increasing your chances of a sale. I can also help you organise, and pack, for the move itself along with helping to organise belongings in your new home in a way that fits your lifestyle and preferences.
The death of a loved one is very emotional and can be completely overwhelming, particularly if you have the added pressure of clearing a property. I can help provide a personalised, sensitive and empathetic decluttering service to include sales and donation if required.
If you have decluttered but are struggling to organise areas of your home, I can help understand how you best need to utilise the space and items within it to devise a bespoke system that best suits your lifestyle and the items you value most.
It may be that life admin is a constant battle and you are struggling to keep track of when payments are due or how to keep on top of subscriptions.
I can help devise simple structures to help with daily, weekly, seasonal and yearly admin to lessen the overwhelm and help you feel back in control.
Please reach us at leisa@happyhomecornwall.co.uk if you cannot find an answer to your question.
We will have an initial chat over the phone to understand your needs, followed by an hours consultation at your home or in the space you are looking to organise or declutter. Together we will discuss a plan to reach your goal. Most decluttering sessions are completed together with the possible exception of bereavement cases where the family may live a considerable distance from the deceased person's home. However please be rest assured that regular updates and conversations will still take place to ensure you are fully aware of the progress. Organisation sessions can often be completed with or without the client being present following a detailed consultation. Once a plan has been agreed we would arrange a date to start.
Organising and decluttering sessions can vary considerably depending on the area involved and the outcome required. However this can all be discussed at the consultation. Decluttering can be mentally, physically and emotionally draining and it very much depends on the space, the task and each individual involved. Organisation tasks can be more straightforward but still require planning in advance in regards to daily usage, space available, regular systems and storage solutions.
There is no one type of person who needs a professional organiser/declutter in their life, anybody can need help at any time as life can be very unpredictable and change our usual routines. Many people can find themselves in situations where their belongings have become overwhelming and they simply don't know where to start! Or people can simply lack the time to do it. Whatever the reason, we are here to help. Working with you, we can help bring back space and introduce systems to maintain the space so you can live the life you want to without getting bogged down with stuff!
Our passion is sustainability, reduce and reuse so we have a plethora of local community groups and organisations that we support. Where possible we donate a wide range of everyday items to these groups and organisations, to ensure that local people and local communities are benefiting from unwanted items. If you wish to sell any items, I can also advise the best way to do this.
There will always be exceptions to this, and where we cannot place items, sell or donate elsewhere there may be occasions we need to dispose of these at the recycling centre. In those instances I have a waste carrier licence to reassure you this is actioned responsibly.
Yes, is the quick answer to that! We can help with any paperwork needs whether that is slimming down and getting rid of confidential waste (we work with a local company to dispose of confidential waste, obtaining a certificate of destruction), updating a filing system or digitising all your paperwork. We can also help organise a simple system for staying on top of weekly, monthly and yearly finances and admin to ensure you know what is due and when, giving you ample opportunity to compare prices well in advance of renewal dates.
Working with a professional organiser and declutterer is an investment. There is the obvious benefit of achieving the initial goal however there are so many other benefits, such as;
No! - is the very short answer to this question. Our service is focussed on help and support in a non judgemental, empathetic approach. We are not here to judge, we are here to help motivate, guide, prioritise and achieve your final goal. We have a clear, confidential element within our terms & conditions that underpins our approach.
