Blooming Families

MBACP accredITED PSYCHOTHERAPIST, mSc. pSYCHOLOGy

You don’t have to carry your family’s emotional weight on your own.

Hi, I am Diana, a psychotherapist with over 21 years of experience, a coach, and the founder of Blooming Families.

I help mothers who are carrying the emotional burden of family relationships — particularly around estrangement, reconnection, and ongoing relational strain — to find steadiness, clarity, and healthier ways of relating.

When family relationships are fractured or fragile, mothers are often the ones holding everything together.

This space is for you!

Who This Is For

This support is for mothers who are:

  • Experiencing estrangement or distance from an adult child

  • Navigating reconnection after a breakdown in the relationship

  • Feel emotionally responsible for keeping the family functioning

  • Exhausted from overthinking, overgiving, or “holding it all”

  • Want to respond differently — without forcing, fixing, or self-abandoning

You might seem like you are coping on the outside, while inside you feel overwhelmed, heartbroken, or completely stuck.

How I Help

My work focuses on supporting you — not managing or fixing other family members.

Together, we work to:

  • Reduce emotional overwhelm and chronic stress

  • Understand relational patterns without blame or shame

  • Strengthen emotional boundaries and self-trust

  • Navigate estrangement or reconnection with steadiness and clarity

  • Shift generational patterns by changing how you relate, not how you perform

This is thoughtful, relational support — not quick fixes or pressure to reconcile before you are ready.

HOW i WORK

I offer individual support for mothers navigating family estrangement, reconnection, or long-standing relational strain.

This may be helpful if you are:

  • Struggling emotionally but still “functioning”

  • Carrying unresolved grief, guilt, or responsibility

  • Wanting support that understands family systems and lived experience

Support is offered in a confidential, compassionate setting, tailored to your needs.

DIANA SIMPSON

As a mother, I have navigated my own challenges — including over-involvement, worry about my children’s choices, and the quiet tendency to tie my sense of wellbeing to theirs. Without clear role models for healthy boundaries, much of my learning came through reflection, self-awareness, and lived experience.

Through inner healing and relational understanding, I was able to rebuild trust and create healthier ways of relating within my family. This journey now informs my work, allowing me to support mothers in recognising unhelpful patterns, strengthening communication, and cultivating parent–adult child relationships grounded in clarity. My work is grounded in family systems understanding, emotional and relational development, and the lived realities of motherhood and generational patterns. Alongside this, I integrate coaching-based approaches — including mindset and identity work — to support women in shifting how they see themselves, relate to others, and respond within family systems.

At the heart of my approach is a deep respect for the emotional labour mothers so often carry — quietly, consistently, and without recognition.

I specialise in working with mothers because they are frequently the unseen emotional anchors within families, particularly during periods of estrangement, relationship breakdown, or attempted repair. When family relationships feel fragile or unresolved, mothers are often the ones holding the weight.

This is a space that honours your experience without pathologising it, offering thoughtful, relational support that strengthens emotional steadiness, self-trust, and choice.
