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.

Through evidence-based methods like Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Psychodynamic Therapy, and Person-Centered Therapy, I create a personalized experience to meet your needs.
