I started making soap back in April 2020. Like a lot of people during the pandemic, I was looking for something to do in the evenings, something hands-on that could help me unwind. What started as a hobby quickly became much more than that.
I found the process surprisingly calming. Measuring ingredients, blending scents, and creating something useful with my hands helped me switch off and focus. I also noticed how much scent and texture could shift my mood, and how the simple act of handwashing, something we were all doing more than ever, could become a small moment of pause and care, rather than just another hygiene routine.
That’s where the idea for The Soap Psychologist came from.
Alongside this creative work, I’ve trained and worked in mental health for several years, and I’m now a qualified Clinical Psychologist. While I’m not offering therapy materials through this business, my background shapes how I think about wellbeing and self-care. I’m interested in how sensory experiences, like blending different scents, textures, and visual design can support us to be more present and create helpful daily habits.
My products include handmade soaps, wax melts, and photo-based keepsakes, each one designed to support a mindful, grounding experience. I also include complimentary wellbeing cards that include mindfulness prompts or reflections with each order, inspired by everyday psychological ideas (not jargon!) that can help you reconnect to the present moment, even if it's just for 30 seconds.
This isn’t about perfection or fixing anything it’s about finding small ways to pause, enjoy, and take care.
Birthday? Religious festival? Or simply want to cheer up a friend? The gift of beautiful soap is sure to make a wonderful gift.
For as little as £10 you can buy a set of two soap bars for yourself as a self-care treat or for a friend, loved one or colleague. Choose between simple recyclable kraft wrap or a gift box for a special occasion. All soaps come with a free wellbeing card with tips and exercises to promote mindfulness.
Get a set of soap slenders, choose your flavours or let them be a surpise.
Just want one? One soap costs £6. All my gift boxes are recyclable, however if you're looking for something more simple you can choose to have it wrapped simply as an individual soap, you will still receive a small a5 package including a wellbeing card wrapped in kraft paper.
