About
Hello, I’m Debbie the founder and professional organiser and decluttering expert behind Clean Slate.
Before launching Clean Slate in 2019, I had spent years working in different jobs and gathering life experiences, but it was during evenings and weekends, helping friends and family with organising projects, that I found what I truly loved. Seeing the difference it made when someone could finally enjoy spending time in their home again, when their space felt like theirs, was something I knew I could do for the rest of my life. So, I turned my passion into a purpose and Clean Slate was created.
When I launched Clean Slate, I knew exactly how I wanted my clients to feel: supported, respected, and empowered. My role is to walk alongside you, supporting your journey by helping make room, physically and emotionally, for your next chapter, whatever that may be.
Supporting you to make room — physically and emotionally — for your next chapter.
Over these last few years I have had the pleasure of working with hundreds of clients across Aberdeen, Aberdeenshire, and the North East of Scotland. From families preparing for a move, to older adults downsizing, to individuals navigating bereavement or living with conditions like OCD or hoarding behaviours every story is different, and every project is deeply personal.
Clean Slate is about more than creating a well organised home, it’s about creating spaces you love and supporting you to move forward, with clarity and confidence.

You can choose how involved you want to be, ultimately we will be relying on you to make decisions on your items, but it’s important that the process is comfortable for you, your available time, goals and budget.
How long can the project take?
We tailor our pace to what feels right for you, ensuring you are comfortable and avoid feeling overwhelmed. Since your pace will naturally affect how long our session takes, we check in regularly to help you find the right balance and take breaks when needed.
