Let's escape this guilt together
You try your best. You’ve read so much parenting advice, but somehow, it doesn't seem to work for you or your kids. How is everyone else managing so well?
You lose your temper, or second-guess yourself... You worry about all the ways you could be messing them up. You want to do better than your parents did, but sometimes you feel you're making the same mistakes.
You're overwhelmed with the pressure and responsibility of it all. You're wracked with guilt and anxiety every evening, only to find yourself reacting the same way the next day.
The Guilty Parent Club is here to help you be the present parent you really want to be - without the pressure of being perfect.
“I shouldn't work so much... I should do more with them... I shouldn't lose my temper so much...”
"I'm too strict with them... no, I'm not strict enough... I should know what to do, but I don't trust myself"
“I should be enjoying this time with them but it's so hard... what's wrong with me?"
You don't need to feel so exhausted, guilty and full of self-doubt! You want to feel more confident, calm, and joyful, and that's where the Guilty Parent Club comes in.
My Guilty Parent Escape Plan gives you a step-by-step map of proven techniques to unlock more effortlessly imperfect parenting. Joining other parents in the Club creates the "village" we all need to feel more supported and less alone, and my live Q&As allow us all to troubleshoot along the way.

The Guilty Parent Escape Plan
The Guilty Parent Escape Plan contains 6 "P Keys" to guide you to "unlock" your confidently imperfect parent self:
Based on the neuropsychology of guilt, stress, and overwhelm, each Key is designed to calm your brain, and your child's too.
-
A better relationship with yourself - the Parent Keys tackle the self-criticism, unmet needs, lost identity and overwhelm that make being a parent so much more difficult. They will help you embrace imperfection, regulate your emotions, and feel more like yourself again, melting that guilt away.
-
A better relationship with parenting – the Child Keys increase your confidence with the tricky boundary-setting situations we face every day. They give you a toolkit of ideas to help your kids listen and their brains stay calm, so you feel more connected to your child, with less stress and self-doubt.
*The child Keys are suitable for kids aged up to 9 & can be tailored to your child's age & personality. The parent Keys are suitable for parents of any age (!)

What's my Why?
I see so much parent guilt in my 1:1 practice but I KNOW it affects parents who can't make it to therapy, too. I'm a guilty parent too! There's so much pressure nowadays & we're all constantly second-guessing ourselves.
I want to stop this cycle! I’m on a crusade to help as many parents as I can feel less guilty, self-critical & stressed, & more like yourself again, so you can be the parent you want to be for your kids.
That's what the Guilty Parent Club is here to do, & it's so much better when we do it together.
About me
I’m Dr Jo Mueller, and I’m a Clinical Psychologist. I specialise in working with parents to help you be as understanding to yourself as you try to be to your kids. Because parenting is HARD and I get it.
I’ve been privileged to work with mums, dads, and children around the world for the last 15 years, including a decade working in UK NHS mental health services, parenting research, & parenting programmes.
I'm also a mum of two myself, so - I see you. I understand the day-to-day realities of parenting, and I can help.
Testimonials
"I can't begin to describe the positive impact that this has had on our family life... I've gained so many strategies to guide me through the minefield of parenting... & feel enlightened about the importance of being kind to myself"

"Jo's course was ace. She comes across as kind & knowledgeable but like, down to earth too. You know sometimes how people that know loads about children or are teaching you something can be a bit preachy or know it all? It's not like that at all, which is nice"
