ABOUT

DIANA SIMPSON-HINDS

PARENT THERAPIST

I am the owner of Blooming Families online counselling service, and a psychotherapist. I am passionate about helping parents navigate the complexities of being a parent and maintaining a healthy mental well-being.

Being a parent therapist, I recognise the challenges parents face in parenting their teens in the modern world. Added to this mix, is the influence of social media on the way teens interact, communicate, and process information.

This has inspired me to support working parents who are struggling with the guilt of long working hours, feeling stretched to capacity with little energy for their children.

“Diana’s extensive experience is apparent in her practice. For years, I struggled to find a therapist who could understand my needs and engage me effectively in therapy. Diana’s expertise enables her to communicate in a manner that empowers me to express myself freely, without fear of judgment or condescension. After just a few sessions, I find myself contemplating our conversations and feeling motivated to complete the ‘homework’ to maximise the benefits of our next meeting. I highly recommend Diana and am grateful for her continued support. Thank you!”

Testimonies

“Diana is not only a great listener, but she is an expert in her field. She will listen to you and ask the right questions that will challenge your way of thinking. From the very first session I had with her, I immediately felt like she was the right therapist for me. I can tell that she wants to help me understand myself better. Highly recommended!”

  • At the initial meeting, you and your counsellor will share relevant information about each other with the focus being on you. You will both decide the regularity of the appointments, your goals, and the boundaries for the sessions and sign a contract in agreement.

I will talk through the process and the agreement for working together. I will send my contract for you to read through. If you want to continue, I will ask you to complete the contract before we start working together.
