Virtual Organising and Declutter Coaching with Juliet Landau-Pope PCC
Too much stuff in your home or in your head? Worried about clutter in your workplace?
A space that feels disorganised can affect how you think, feel and function, making it harder to focus, relax or simply find what you need.
There’s no shame in enlisting professional help. But hiring an organiser to visit may not be the right option for you.
At times like this, virtual organising is an ideal solution. As a certified coach and one of the UK’s leading experts on productivity and organising, I combine practical decluttering strategies with coaching, so the changes you make are ones you can actually maintain. Sometimes it’s easier to talk openly about personal issues when you’re not actually in a room together. Flexible appointments and pricing can save you time and money, too. If you’re curious to learn more about how I could help, do get in touch.

Is this you?
Are you a busy professional or parent whose home has become over-run with clutter? You desperately want to clear the chaos but don’t know where to start.
Or a student or home worker who needs space to study or work but decluttering feels too daunting.
Or perhaps you’re preparing to downsize, move home or relocate internationally? There’s so much to do, and you could do with some help to sort and let go of stuff before packing and preparing for the move.
Whatever your situation, I can coach you to declutter, get organised and regain control of your physical space. My approach is always positive and purposeful, with an emphasis on listing to what matters most to you.
And if ADHD or chronic disorganisation is part of the picture, I’ll combine virtual organising with specialist ADHD & Chronic Disorganisation coaching for broader executive functioning support.
How virtual organising could help you
No matter how small or large your project, we can work together online to achieve positive and lasting changes, such as:
Spaces
- Set up a functional study area or home office
- Sort clothes, toys, kitchenware and other household items
- Declutter paperwork and manage life admin
- Prepare for downsizing, moving home, or relocating
Skills and systems
- Learn practical strategies for managing time and space
- Build systems to manage issues at home/work that are easy to maintain
- Make decisions about what to donate, discard, store or reorganise
Habits and mindset
- Overcome procrastination around decluttering and organising
- Build confidence in maintaining an organised home or workspace
- Create routines that work for you and other members of your household
How virtual organising works
Virtual organising takes place entirely online, usually via Zoom. Depending on what will help most, sessions can take different forms:
- Strategy sessions — I help you plan, prioritise and think through how to tackle a project, including tricky decisions like what to hold onto, what to let go of, or where to donate unwanted items
- Body doubling sessions — you sort and organise in real time while I guide you and help you stay on track
- Productivity Bootcamp — five 15-minute sessions over five consecutive days, ideal for more intensive support to meet a deadline or push through a specific project
Here’s what to expect when working with me:
- A free consultation to find out more about your situation and explore if I’m the right person to help
- An initial 60-minute session to clarify your goals and challenges
- Follow-up sessions of 30 or 60 minutes, arranged via Zoom
- Appointments on weekdays or at weekends
- Flexible pay-as-you-go sessions or discounted packages
- Email communication between sessions
- Strict confidentiality and a commitment to ICF and ICD Codes of Ethics
Credentials
Social science taught me that belongings are rarely just objects, they carry meaning, memory and identity. This informs a coaching approach that’s sensitive to why letting go can be so complex.

I’m proud to be the first person in the UK to qualify as a Certified Professional Organizer in Chronic Disorganization (CPO-CD®), a specialist credential awarded by the global Institute for Challenging Disorganization (ICD). And as founder of the Academy of Virtual Organisers, I pioneered training for virtual organisers in the UK, leading online workshops and even two international summits.
My professional qualifications and experience include:
- PCC (Professional Certified Coach), accredited by the International Coaching Federation (ICF)
- Certified Professional Co-Active Coach (Co-Active Training Institute)
- Specialist ICD training and certificates in ADHD and Chronic Disorganization (Institute for Challenging Disorganization)
- Author of two books on organising and productivity strategies, and frequent contributor to UK and international media
- Regular speaker at UK and international events, including APDO, ICD, POC, NAPO-Virtual and NBPO.
Professional memberships and standards

What’s Your Excuse for Not Clearing Your Clutter?
Whether it’s a wardrobe waiting to be sorted, kitchen cabinets crammed full of unused crockery, or paperwork you’ve put off filing for months, this book reviews and reframes the stories we tell ourselves, and others, about why we hold onto stuff that we no longer need. Full of practical strategies and motivational tips, it’s a quick read for anyone ready to make a change, or a thoughtful gift for someone who feels stuck.

To be honest, I wasn’t sure how virtual organising would work. But with Juliet’s expert guidance and friendly coaching, I was amazed at what I achieved. Thanks to a handful of virtual sessions, my paperwork is no longer out of control.

I offer productivity coaching, study skills support, virtual organising, and specialist coaching for ADHD and chronic disorganisation, and many of these approaches overlap and can be combined. There’s no need to figure out the exact fit before getting in touch. During a free consultation, we’ll discuss your situation and explore what might suit you best, whether that’s one type of coaching with me, a combination of different approaches, or perhaps something else entirely. I’ll gladly answer any of your questions too, and all in strictest confidence. Book a free consultation to get started.
No. My role is to motivate you and support you, and help you think through your options, not to make decisions on your behalf. It’s your agenda! So you’ll decide which spaces we talk about, and you’re always in control of what stays and what goes.
With virtual organising, we work together over Zoom rather than in person. We’ll discuss your goals and motivation as well as the obstacles that you’re facing. Once we’ve come up with a plan, you’ll embark on the physical sorting and organising yourself, guided and supported by me throughout, rather than having someone in your home doing it alongside or for you. Many clients find this just as effective, and often more comfortable, flexible and cost-effective too.
Fees depend on the length of session, and whether you choose pay-as-you-go or a discounted package. I’ll talk you through the options in your free consultation, so you can decide what works best for your budget and goals.
