Standard support

$75 / hour

Supported rate available—please ask.

Cost should not stop the conversation.

You do not need to have everything worked out before you get in touch.

We can simply start with what is in front of you.

What you are paying for

More than an extra pair of hands

The value is not simply in how much gets done during an hour. It is in having someone steady beside you who can see what matters, help make a beginning, and keep things moving without pressure or judgement.

Visible practical progress

We can sort, organise, reset a space or work through the tasks that have become hard to face alone.

Clarity while we work

Conversation and practical action can happen together, so decisions become simpler and the next step becomes clearer.

Support that adapts

I can work under your direction or take thoughtful initiative where you prefer, always supporting your independence.

Support may include

A practical way forward when life feels too much

At homeSorting, decluttering, organising or restoring a sense of order

When you feel stuckWorking beside you on things that have felt too difficult to begin

During changePractical help and calm conversation while life is being rearranged

For the next stepTurning a tangle of tasks or decisions into something manageable

Clear and flexible pricing

Choose the rate that makes support possible

I want the price to be honest and sustainable, while leaving room for people who would otherwise decide not to ask for help.

Standard rate

$75 per hour

This is the usual rate for practical or conversational support and reflects the time, care, experience and thoughtful attention I bring.

Supported rate

$45–$50 per hour

If $75 an hour would put support out of reach, please tell me. You do not need to explain your whole financial situation. We can talk privately about a rate within this range that feels workable.

All rates can be discussed before we make any arrangement. Getting in touch does not commit you to booking.

A morning or afternoon in-home visit

The Next Step Reset

A focused, practical and thoughtful support visit for when life feels stuck, cluttered, uncertain or hard to begin.

This visit is for when you need more than a quick conversation, but you do not want to commit to ongoing support. It gives us enough time to pause, talk through what feels most pressing, choose a manageable starting point and take practical steps together.

We may sort papers, clear a small area, reset part of a room, plan the next few tasks or simply begin something that has felt too hard to face alone.

What is included

◆

A short phone check-in before the visit, so we know where to start

◆

A morning or afternoon in-home visit, usually around three hours

◆

Practical support with sorting, organising, tidying, paperwork, planning or getting started

◆

A simple next-step summary after the visit, if helpful

This is not charged minute by minute. It is a morning or afternoon support visit designed to help you feel clearer, steadier and more able to take the next step.

Standard fee

$220

Supported fee, where available

$150–$165

A single hour can be helpful for conversation.

For practical in-home support, I usually recommend allowing a morning or afternoon. This gives us enough time to settle, see what matters, begin properly and leave you with a clearer next step.

Start with a conversation

If the support feels right, let’s talk about what would help.

You are welcome to ask about the work, the cost, or whether I am the right person for what you need. There is no pressure to have the perfect words.
