How was the process for you?

Having wrapped up with my most recent client in Penryn, Cornwall, I wanted to share the questionnaire feedback as it gives an insight into where we began, the challenges of the process and what was gained. Although it had it moments of emotional difficulty, we gently worked on each stage and made great progress in the end. It has given my client the gifts of time and space so she can now work on her next goals.

On a scale of 1 to 5, how overwhelmed were you feeling before sessions with Peace by Piece?

4/5

What led you to get in touch?

We had recently moved house to a smaller house and I'd got ill in the process. After that unpacking, and especially unpacking the final boxes and making the house liveable just felt like an impossible task - too much stuff in a small house and trying to live normal family life around it.

How were you feeling at that time?

Overwhelmed - I would start on one area, but then get stuck as there was nowhere to put things during the process of sorting. Then I'd be in more of a mess than when I started.

Additional comments: Working with Lizzie was wonderful as it felt relaxed but productive.

How has the process been for you?

The process felt really manageable - which was a total contrast to how it had felt before. We just worked gently but systematically through things. Lizzie was by my side at each step and when she could see I was struggling would ask a carefully chosen question or suggestion to put me back on track and that would help me refocus.

What worked/didn't work?

What worked was starting small, learning how the system worked, learning how to make decisions and then building up to the bigger problem areas.

What was the most challenging aspect?

The process was exhausting, mentally and emotionally, but Lizzie was very sensitive to that and didn't push me to do more than I was willing to

I wish I had…

Done it sooner

What is the feeling now that you have completed the process?

I feel like I have more energy to get on with my life, now I'm not tripping over all these boxes or having all this clutter overshadowing me. I feel more in control of my home and decisions and more in control of my time
