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. 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're overwhelmed with the pressure of it all. You feel guilty in the 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 feeling there's a "perfect" way.
“I shouldn't lose my temper so much... I shouldn't work so much... I should do more with them...”
"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! The Guilty Parent Club is here to help you feel more confident, calm, self-compassionate, and joyful... whilst rediscovering who YOU are too.
My Guilty Parent Escape Plan gives you a step-by-step map of evidence-based techniques to unlock more effortlessly imperfect parenting and reconnect with yourself.
Joining other parents in the Club creates the "village" we all need to feel more supported and less alone, and my live coaching calls allow us all to troubleshoot along the way.
How will The Guilty Parent Club help me?
The Guilty Parent Escape Plan is my powerful step-by-step parent blueprint.
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.
The 6 P Keys are:
-
Perspective
-
Predictability
-
Playfulness
-
Power
-
Physical Support
-
ImPerfection (not quite a P... but it's imperfect!)

Testimonials
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.
