EP1: “Creating order to deal with the chaos in my head” Sarah Bickers, Professional Organiser, talks about organising spaces to manage her ADHD Symptoms.

In this episode, Alex talks with Professional Organiser, Sarah Bickers and her colleague Caroline Rogers. A busy mum of three and running a successful organising and decluttering business, it took Sarah over 50 years to realise she has ADHD.


Sarah was one of six children growing up in a rather chaotic and messy home life. As a result she was always drawn towards order and a simpler life. She starter her career as a physiotherapist specialising in neurology- she’s always been interested in how the brain works! She later trained as Professional Organiser working mainly with ADHD clients and training other Professional Organisers to be more ADHD-friendly.


Sarah and Caroline both started their organising businesses around the same time, meeting through the Association of Professional Declutters and Organisers (APDO). They first met over coffee at the APDO conference in 2014 and made an instant connection, deciding to become business accountability partners.


Caroline also came from a rather chaotic home life. She’s a positive psychology researcher and practitioner, providing professional organising services, coaching, mentoring and training. She has a particular emphasis and interest in wellbeing and is training to be a meditation teacher.
