Introducing our brand new book!
Reset Your Home
Unpack your emotions and your clutter, step by step
Here's the secret when it comes to decluttering. It's never about the stuff. Instead, decluttering is about the emotions that hold us back from letting go of stuff.
What readers say
"Life-changing" - Alison
Implementing the reset your home system has changed my life. Working through each room, and addressing my emotional attachment to my items, enabled me to make decisions that I previously found overwhelming. I have this book on audible too, and listen as well as reading, to help me thoroughly absorb the advice, and guidance. I cannot recommend highly enough. Ingrid and Lesley totally ‘get’ the reasons why clutter builds up, and have such a wealth of experience in helping with organising and decluttering, that there’s seemingly nothing they’ve not come across before.
Just amazing!
Down-to-earth system that WORKS! - Sue W
Presumably you’re reading this because you have a problem with clutter. All I can say is ‘Buy the Book’! You won’t be disappointed. Lesley & Ingrid are miracle-workers. They have transformed my life. Yes - I’ve tried to ‘spark joy’ with my stuff. I’ve said ‘goodbye things’. But the things were still, stubbornly there. Until I came across the ‘Reset your Home’ system, which is the only thing that has worked for me. The book is a very readable, practical, summary. It delves deep into the emotions that lead us to accumulate, and keep, too much stuff. But after the ‘thinking’ (essential for the system), the book goes on to the ‘doing’. Without the ‘doing’, the clutter stays.
Full of wise words … “Done is better than perfect” … “What is more important - the space or the stuff?" … this down-to-earth book takes you through every room in the house. Follow the process. Success!
Such an uplifting read - Bev
A brilliant step by step guide for anyone looking to tackle their clutter and get back on top of things. I found it easy to follow and implement in your own home with some great insights and really practical tips to keep the clutter at bay.
It’s particularly relevant if you find it hard to make decisions or let go of things and a surprisingly uplifting project if you find yourself feeling overwhelmed by your home. Highly recommend giving this a go.
Here's the secret when it comes to decluttering. It's never about the stuff.
Instead, decluttering is about the emotions that hold us back from letting go of stuff. That's why we can struggle so much with throwing out our favourite mug when it chips or parting with those (very) expensive shoes that we never actually wear.
Sound familiar? If so, we have the solution. Our Reset Your Home method guides you through your house - thought by thought, room by room and day by day - helping you to sort through your emotional connection to stuff first, then through the practicalities of letting it go second.
Beginning in the kitchen - the room with the fewest emotive items in the home - you'll learn how to strengthen your 'decluttering muscle' as you go, before tackling sentimental items at the end.
Reset Your Home is the tried-and-tested, realistic approach to decluttering for anyone who wants to enjoy a lighter life.

What Professional Declutterers and Organisers say
Jasmine Sleigh - Hoarding behaviours expert - Change Your Space
Ingrid and Lesley's experienced wisdom pour out of this book. It is written as if they are in the room with you, with all their warmth, kindness, humour and honest pragmatism. I can think of no better company as you set out on the decluttering journey.
Sarah Bickers - ADHD coach - Free Your Space
If you have ADHD and struggle with perfectionism, this book doesn’t promise an unrealistic overnight transformation. Instead, Ingrid and Lesley offer reassurance, practical guidance (and gentle challenge) to help you let go of no longer needed items as you gradually declutter and organise your home. They put you firmly in charge of your process, helping you first identify your ‘why’, then practically supporting you step-by-step with the ‘how’.
Jo Jacob - Downsizing expert - Benella
Reset your Home is such a powerful tool for anyone wanting to get their home organised. As a fellow Professional Organiser, their belief in leading with emotions and not making everything just "Insta-Perfect" is so impactful. It is about understanding why homes get cluttered and disorganised and having simple step by step processes to understand the why, learn the how and then know how to maintain. That is what makes this book excellent.
Sian Pelleschi - APDO President - Sorted
As a professional organiser and current president of APDO, I believe the most valuable thing we can do as professionals is equip people with the skills to create lasting change in their homes and lives. This book does just that, offering clear, practical guidance for those who may not have access to a professional organiser or who want to take the first steps themselves. It breaks down the what, why, and how, making positive change achievable for everyone.

What Bloomsbury say
Holly Jarrald - Commissioning Editor
Ever since I came across Lesley and Ingrid’s work I’ve been hooked. Their emotions-based decluttering approach just made so much sense to me. As I began to see real changes in my home, I realised how much I wanted to help Lesley and Ingrid get their message out to as many people as possible, and a book seemed like the natural next step for them.

The emotions-based approach to decluttering in Reset Your Home teaches you a skill you will use forever. This makes not only decluttering, but actually maintaining and keeping your home organised so much easier. Lesley and Ingrid are so knowledgeable and non-judgemental – they are the perfect people to guide you through the process.
