What happens during a decluttering session?

During the initial consultation we will discuss your aims and goals so we have a clear idea of what you wish the end result to be. I work alongside you as we go through your belongings in a methodical way, starting with the area that is causing you the most stress. Discarding needs to come first and organisation is second.

There is never any pressure from me with regards discarding items - I can offer some objectivity and support during the decision making process and we work at the pace you feel most comfortable with. It can be an emotional process and I will be alongside you and will support you throughout this.

Do you take everything away at the end of the session?

I am passionate about recycling, re-purposing and re-homing items and avoid anything going to landfill at all costs. For every 3 hours of decluttering I will take a car load of items to  a charity shop of your choosing. 

Due to Bristol City Council legislation I am unable to take any of your belongings to the Recycling Centre but can assist in arranging waste collection and suggesting alternatives.

Are you insured?

Yes - WellNest is insured with Chaucer Insurance up to the sum of £1 million.

I am embarrassed about the amount of clutter I have....

Please be reassured that I have been in many, many homes with all sorts of levels of clutter and I will never judge you nor discuss your home with anyone else. WellNest is 100% confidential. There are many reasons why people become overwhelmed with their belongings and my job is to support you to reduce this in order to help make your home a sanctuary.

How long will it take?

During the initial consultation I would have heard from you about your goals and with this information I would be able to suggest a rough estimate of time. 

It can be difficult to state exactly how long it will take until we start working together, as it depends on the pace we work at and this is something which will be led by you in order for you not to feel rushed or pressured in any way. 

Do you clean as well? 

I do not clean but can assist you in finding a local cleaner. 

What is your background?

I worked in the NHS for over 20 years and for 18 of those as a qualified Mental Health Nurse, which I loved. 

Due to a change in family circumstances I left nursing and then set up WellNest as it combines several passions of mine - supporting people in making positive change, decluttering, organising and helping make a home a more calming place.
