Decluttering and organising support for real life
Our homes should be our sanctuary - a place that restores us. But life gets busy, messy, and sometimes
totally overwhelming. The spare room becomes the dumping ground, the garage is a no-go zone,
and the thought of someone unexpectedly dropping by, can break you out in a sweat.
If this sounds familiar, there is no judgement here. I've been there too!
As a Professional Organiser I provide practical and compassionate support to help you declutter,
organise and create spaces that work for the way you live.
Servicing the Illawarra region and the New England Tablelands I can work with you in-person and online.
Hi I'm Andrea
A qualified professional organiser and self-confessed organising addict.
I created Empatia Home Edit because it combines two of my core values as well as my passion for organising.
Everyone deserves to be treated with empathy and kindness (hence the name - em-pah-TEE-ah = empathy in Spanish), and our homes should be our safe space. A place where we retreat after a hard day, to reset and calm our mind and body, where we share special moments with the ones we love, and where we are free to express our individuality.
When our homes get cluttered and disorganised they can stop feeling like our sanctuary and instead create overwhelm, isolation, stifle our creativity, add to our mental fatigue and in some cases become a heath risk. That is where I can help. I love spaces that feel peaceful, welcoming and easy to live in, and I've always had a knack for creating them.
I support people who are feeling overwhelmed by clutter, disorganisation, decision fatigue, and the emotional weight that can build up around our belongings.
"The hardest part of decluttering isn't always letting go of stuff...it's letting go of the reasons you kept it."
How I can help
Ever walked into a cluttered room and instantly felt tense, or your mood dip? You’re not imagining it. Our brains and bodies are deeply affected by the spaces we live in, and when those spaces are cluttered, chaotic, or constantly disorganised, it can quietly erode our sense of calm, focus, and emotional wellbeing.
That's why the process of sorting, decluttering and organising your space can be so freeing. I can help bring peace back into your home. My work combines practical organising support with a gentle, person-centred approach that helps clients feel supported and not judged.
My background in various roles such as research, design, small business management, counselling and mental health support has given me a natural ability to listen, understand and gently help people work through what's feeling difficult. I bring those skills into my organising work in a practical, down-to-earth way.
My approach is always grounded in compassion, understanding, and a genuine passion for helping people, while recognising and respecting the deep emotional connection we often have with our belongings.
I will take time to understand what you need, empower you to make difficult decisions, and work alongside you to create spaces in your home that feel calm, intentional, more manageable and aligned with your life as it is today.
Areas of service
Declutter & Organise
Keeping things for 'just in case' sounds like a responsible decision, until your whole home becomes a back up plan for a life you're not living. You need space for today, not every possible 'someday'.
Preparing to downsize
Downsizing your home can bring a wonderful sense of freedom and opportunity, but deciding what to keep and let go of can feel emotional, overwhelming, and at times, exhausting.
Moving house
Moving is one of life's biggest transitions, with so many moving parts, and there's nothing like packing up everything you own, to make you question everything you own!.
Presale Preparation
Together we'll reduce visual clutter, highlight your home's best features and beautifully style your home in preparation for photos and open days.
