Let's escape the overwhelm 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. You feel you're failing. 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 vow to change things, only to find yourself reacting the same way the next day.
Lightheartedly named, but seriously effective:
The Guilty Parent Club is here to help you be the parent you want to be - without the pressure of perfection.
“I shouldn't lose my temper so much... I should spend more time with them...”
"I'm too strict with them... no, I'm not strict enough... I just don't trust myself"
“I don't know what to try... Have I caused this... is this all my fault?"
What is The Guilty Parent Club?
Parents! You don't need to feel so exhausted, guilty and full of self-doubt. The Guilty Parent Club is here to help you feel calmer, more confident and even relaxed in your parenting... more connected to your child... all whilst rediscovering who YOU are too.​
The Club is based around a deep-dive yet bite-sized podcast course - easy breezy to access, and supported by detailed workbooks with strategies and exercises. Lifetime access to both.
My 6 P Key Framework gives you a step-by-step map of evidence-based techniques to unlock more effortlessly imperfect parenting. Half the map is for your child, for those tricky parenting moments - and the other half is for you. Because you need both. Note: we share parenting tools, not parenting rules!
Joining other parents in the Club community chat creates the "village" you need to feel less alone, while regular live coaching calls with me, Dr Jo, allow you to tailor and troubleshoot along the way.
Curious about The Guilty Parent Club?

Whether you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or just ready for a different way forward, this is a great place to start.

How will The Guilty Parent Club help me?
The 6 P Keys is my powerful step-by-step framework.
It contains 6 Keys to "unlock" more effortless parenting - using evidence-based neuroscientific techniques that help keep our child's brain regulated - and our own!
For your child:
​
The 6 Child Keys provide you with a practical toolkit of techniques to help your kids' brains stay calm so they can listen to you, and respond to the boundaries you want to teach.​
Having this flexible approach of healthy and effective strategies helps you feel more confident, so it's much easier to stay calm at those difficult moments. ​​​​
​​
For you:
​
The 6 Parent Keys give us essential information and concrete skills to break the cycle of stress, self-doubt, reactivity and guilt that we get stuck in.
Looking after our own emotional regulation, our triggers and unmet needs makes sure that we're actually able to use the toolkit for our kids when we need to.​​​

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 parents and children around the world for the last 15 years, including a decade in UK NHS mental health services.
I have worked on parenting research studies at renowned London universities, including designing specialist parenting programmes, and delivering training in evidence-based parenting approaches.
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.
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 on a crusade to use my expertise and experience 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 for, & it's so much better when we do it together.
