Biography
Dr Jo Mueller is an HCPC-registered Clinical Psychologist specialising in parenting, parental mental health and neurodivergence. She holds a first-class undergraduate degree in Psychology with Mathematics from Durham University, an MSc in Applied Psychological Research, and a Doctorate in Clinical Psychology (DClinPsy). She has 20 years’ experience across the NHS, academic research and private practice. She is a trusted voice for parents of neurodivergent children and for parents who are neurodivergent themselves, and has worked with families in the UK, and internationally.
Jo spent a decade in NHS mental health services, including supporting children and parents within specialist neurodevelopmental CAMHS teams in London. Her research at University College London and King’s College London has focused on child mental health, neurodiversity, and parenting. The programme she co-developed and delivered as part of a randomised controlled trial at KCL is the basis for the forthcoming book, Predictive Parenting. She received the IACAPAP Donald Cohen Fellowship for Emerging Leaders in 2016, and is now a visiting lecturer at King’s College London and research supervisor on the Salomons Clinical Psychology Doctorate at Canterbury Christ Church University.
Dr Mueller co-founded The Neurodiversity Practice, which provides neuroinclusion training to organisations and practitioners, and she leads its online community and resource hub, The Neurodivergent Parent Space. In private practice, she supports parents individually and through group programmes. Her work draws on her lived experience with neurodivergence and as a mother to two children.
She provides expert comment to the press and wider media, appears on podcasts and radio, and provides psychological consultation. She volunteers as an International Paralympic Classifier for athletes with intellectual impairments.
