About Bindi Gauntlett - guilt-free mum

In 40 years both as a parent and working with parents I have ridden the roller coaster ride that is motherhood.

From the shock of a newborn through the challenges of teens even in a blended family, via experience of both mental and physical health problems and family break ups, I’ve seen it all from both the inside and the outside.

In my varied career I have been a nurse, a health visitor, a parenting specialist and a psychotherapist. Together with my partner at in8.uk.com we have developed and run stress management programmes and published the Anxiety Freedom Cards resource pack

I have both learned and taught many styles of parenting yet when my kids were little parenting wasn’t even a thing! My Mum and Dad certainly didn’t ‘do parenting’ They just tried (and often but didn’t always succeed ) to be the best Mum and the best Dad they could be.

It has taken me a long road of research and exploration  listening to many, many parents to come up with the answers to the struggles that mothers are facing today.
But I have found answers to questions, solutions to problems and a way to do this without judgement and guilt but with ease and connection.

I offer simple tips and inspiring insights through  step-by-step programmes and can even be right beside you as you grapple with the really big stuff. 

If, like me, you believe that we simply haven’t evolved fast enough to be significantly different to the mothers who have come before us, and you would like support from others as you truly become the mother you want to be, then you might have found a place right here that feels like home. 

What Mums are saying

Rhiannon

“The programme is really interesting and enlightening. There have been several light bulb moments, many around re-prioritising tasks and activities. I have realised that my needs for sleep and attention are valid and impact hugely on how well everything else in my life – and in my son’s life – flows.”

“Considering the full range of my son’s needs – a big thing has been recognising his need for privacy, I’ve always had a sense that I should be entertaining and giving him my attention 100% of the time and feeling guilty about not achieving that, so it’s good to accept that wouldn’t be healthy even if it was achievable!

I felt chaotic, stressed, tired, like things were very much out of my control and I was only just coping. I am now starting to see that things can change, are changing, and that some aspects of my mothering are actually pretty good! I realise that I have more respect for myself as a mother than I ever had previously.

 It’s changed my attitude and given me clarity about how things are, how I’d like them to be and why. It’s also the first time I’ve committed to doing something for myself since my son was born, which has been very valuable and which I look forward to continuing.

Bindi is thoughtful, encouraging and non-judgemental and has a wealth of knowledge about motherhood and human nature.

Thank you.”

“The programme gave me some profound realisations about what motherhood means to me. So much food for thought.”

“I have a deeper awareness of my strengths as a mother, and a deeper feeling of sisterhood with other mothers. Definitely.

For any mum who wants to gain a broader understanding of how being a mum affects, challenges and supports us.

Bindi is – Fully supportive, knowledgeable and caring.”

 

Jayne

“It’s easy to assume that you are the only one who feels the way you do & it’s been wonderful to hear all the different stories & thoughts people have. It’s good to know you’re not alone.

Most of the time I feel like I’m doing ok, sometimes I know I’m not & just occasionally I know I’m amazing! How I feel hasn’t really changed but the fact that I will actually use the word ‘amazing’ about myself tells me my confidence has increased.”

“I spent far too many years convinced I was an appalling mother & could probably have written a book on why. 

If i’d had something like this from the start I would have coped better & been the mother I wanted to be rather than been the mother I thought I should be.

I would say that Bindi is compassionate & genuine with great insight and clearly cares very much about the work you do.”
