empatia home_edit

Is your home a place of rest - or a source of stress?

I provide calm, hands-on help to gently sort through clutter, create functional systems, and restore a sense of ease and control in your environment.

Practical support, kindness and zero judgement.

Hi, I'm Andrea. Counsellor, professional organiser, and the founder of

Empatia Home_edit. I help women create spaces in their homes that feel calm, functional, and nurturing. Not Pinterest-perfect, but purposeful, peaceful and perfect for you.

Life is busy and often overwhelming. Between work, family, and constant demands, our homes can start to reflect that chaos. I believe your home should be your sanctuary — a place that restores you, not adds to the noise. Through gentle guidance and practical support, I help you declutter and organise in a way that makes sense for you.

I’m not here to create minimalist homes or make you throw away the things you love. My work is grounded in compassion and understanding, recognising the deep emotional connection we often have with our belongings. Together, we explore what truly supports your life today, creating space for what matters most and letting go of what no longer serves you.

It’s also about learning to buy more intentionally - reducing the overwhelm, the guilt, and the waste that comes from over-accumulating. I’ll help you build systems that are easy to maintain, so you can feel lighter, clearer, and more confident in your home and yourself.

With my background in counselling, I bring a non-judgemental lens to all my organising work. Whether you're navigating a life transition, starting over, moving house, grieving a loss, or simply feeling overwhelmed - Together, we work not just on the physical space, but also on the emotional journey that comes with it. I empower you to make thoughtful decisions and build lasting habits to maintain your space long after I leave.

Small edits, big impacts

Declutter & Organise

Sometimes life builds up—and so does the clutter. Whether it’s one drawer or an entire room, I offer gentle, hands-on support to help you let go of what no longer serves you and create systems that suit your real life. This isn’t about perfection—it’s about feeling lighter, clearer, and more in control. Together, we’ll take it one step at a time to create calm, functional spaces that are easier to manage and kinder to live in.

Downsizing

Downsizing often comes with mixed emotions—grief, relief, anxiety, and uncertainty. Whether you're moving into a smaller space, supporting a parent through the transition, or preparing for a new season of life, I offer gentle, practical support to help you make confident decisions. We’ll honour what matters and create a more manageable, meaningful home.

Moving House

Moving can be one of life’s most stressful events—especially when you’re already feeling stretched. Whether you're upsizing, relocating, or starting fresh, I can help you prepare and pack with clarity and calm. Together, we’ll sort what to take, let go of what’s no longer needed, and create systems so your new home starts off feeling organised, not overwhelming.

Presale Prep

Selling a home is not just a transaction — it’s an emotional process. I offer practical and caring support to help you declutter, streamline, and present your home in a way that highlights its beauty and potential. Together, we create a sense of calm and order that allows buyers to imagine themselves in the space, while also helping you begin the process of letting go and moving forward to your next chapter.

Estate Clearing Support

Sorting through a loved one’s belongings is never just about the items—it’s a deeply emotional process that takes time, tenderness, and care. I offer gentle, respectful support to help you navigate the practical side of letting go while holding space for the emotional weight it carries. Whether you need guidance, hands-on help, or simply someone to walk beside you, I’m here.

Sentimental Items

Letting go of sentimental items can bring up complex feelings — grief, nostalgia, love, and sometimes guilt. I work alongside you with empathy and patience, helping you make thoughtful decisions about the items that carry meaning. It’s not about discarding your memories, but about honouring them, creating space for what truly matters, and finding ways to preserve the stories you want to carry forward.
