Your guide to the Huddle & Thrive decluttering process
Welcome to Huddle & Thrive – I'm really glad you're here. This document walks through what happens next, what to expect from our sessions, and a few questions that'll help me tailor things to you before we meet in person. There's no pressure to have all the answers below – "not sure yet" is a completely fine response anywhere.
What to expect from our sessions
Our decluttering process is designed to be gentle, understanding, and completely personalised to your needs as a neurodivergent individual. We'll work together, at your pace, to create spaces that feel better for you.
Discovery call (online)
This is where we start – a friendly chat with no commitment. This conversation allows us to get to know each other and discuss your needs. It may have already happened, or is about to.
First in-person session
I'll come to your home. We'll spend time getting a feel for your space and agreeing where to begin, rather than immediately diving into sorting. It's about comfort and planning.
Ongoing sessions
We'll tackle one space at a time, always at your pace. Some areas might take a single session, while others may require several – there's no rigid timeline, only progress that feels right for you.
Practical information for your decluttering journey
To ensure our sessions run as smoothly as possible, here's some practical information and a few things that help me prepare before I visit.
Before your first session
There's no need to tidy up before I arrive – that's precisely what we're doing together! Please let me know about anything that might affect how the session should run, so I can plan ahead. This ensures we can focus on your needs without needing on-the-day explanations.
Pets are welcome to be around unless you'd prefer otherwise – just let me know your preference.
A few questions to help me prepare
About you:
- Is there anything about the sensory environment I should know before I visit (lighting, noise, smells, etc.)?
- How do you prefer to communicate during a session – talking things through as we go, or more space and quiet with check-ins?
- Are there any words, phrases, or approaches that feel unhelpful or triggering around decluttering (e.g., "just get rid of it")?
About the space:
- Which space would you like to start with?
- Is there anything in that space that's off-limits or needs extra care (sentimental items, someone else's belongings, etc.)?
- Is there anything practical I should know about accessing your home (parking, entry, stairs, allergies to be aware of)?
Key details for our sessions
- Location: Sessions happen at your home, within 30 minutes of Cam, at no extra travel cost.
- Session length: We will decide during discovery call
- Payment: per session or as package
Your goals:
- What would "this space feels better" look like for you, in your own words?
- Is there a particular reason now feels like the right time (or wrong time – that's useful to know too)?
Our unique approach for neurodivergent individuals
Clutter isn't a discipline problem. For a lot of autistic adults, it's a decision-fatigue problem, a sensory problem, or an "I don't know where anything belongs" problem. That's why I've launched 1:1 decluttering coaching through Huddle & Thrive – I come to you, in person, and we work through it together.
Our process is built specifically around how autistic brains actually work, not generic organising advice. There's no shame, and no pressure to "just throw it away." Just a calm, structured way through that respects your unique needs and pace.
