Get to know the dedicated professional of Soul Bloom
I’m Thirushka Pillay, the founder of Soul Bloom. My journey in psychology began with a passion for understanding people and the “special” quality others noticed in me as I connected and empathized with their struggles. My desire to guide individuals led me to pursue a BA in Psychology from the University of Johannesburg in 2010, followed by an Honours degree from the University of South Africa in 2013.
For several years, I worked in Human Resources, spending the last seven years as HR Director in a leading company. Here, I helped individuals and teams navigate professional and personal challenges, honing my ability to provide impactful support. Now, as a registered Specialist Wellness Counsellor (ASCHP), I’ve turned my passion for people into a private practice—Soul Bloom—dedicated to helping individuals find resilience, healing, and growth.
Why I Chose Counselling
At Soul Bloom, I believe that everyone has the potential to heal and grow when they feel truly understood. My approach is grounded in compassion, active listening, and a commitment to empowering you to make lasting changes. Through evidence-based methods like Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Psychodynamic Therapy, and Person-Centered Therapy, I create a personalized experience to meet your needs.
My mission is to help you reconnect with your inner strength, gain new perspectives, and find peace. I’m here to listen, guide, and help you navigate life’s complexities with greater ease and confidence.
