Miss Diana Simpson
Registered Psychotherapist
“A highly experienced therapeutic Parent Coach with over 20 years of expertise, specialising in assisting parents and adult children to reconnect and rebuild their relationships after a breakdown”
About Me
Approach
I believe that growth begins with self-awareness and a willingness to rewrite our story. Many of the struggles we face in relationships, over-giving, difficulty setting boundaries, or feeling emotionally drained—stem from unhealed childhood wounds.
At Blooming Families, I guide parents with therapy and coaching to do the inner work, breaking generational cycles to cultivate healthy parent and adult-child relationships.

Services
Some mothers carry far more than most people realise.
You may be the one holding the emotional weight of fractured or fragile family relationships — managing distance, navigating estrangement, hoping for reconnection, or trying to keep things from falling apart.
When family relationships are strained, mothers are often expected to stay steady, stay kind, stay connected — even when it hurts.
I am Diana, a psychotherapist with over 21 years of experience and the founder of Blooming Families. I support mothers who are navigating difficult family relationships to find clarity, emotional steadiness, and healthier ways of relating — without blame or pressure.
If this resonates, I have shared more about my work and how I support mothers here:
