Therapist for women specialising in perfectionism, people-pleasing, and burnout recovery – Hertfordshire & UK wide.

RESET your patterns.

REDEFINE your life.

I’m Ria Oliver — therapist, coach, and recovered good girl, and I help high-achieving, people-pleasing women break out of the box they were never meant to fit in.

If you’ve spent your life being the dependable one — the perfectionist, the peacekeeper, the “good mum” who keeps it all together on the outside while secretly screaming on the inside — then I see you. And I’ve got you.

Let me guess…

  • You feel like one meltdown away from burning it all down, packing your bags and running away.

  • You wake up exhausted, go to bed wired, and run on coffee and sheer willpower.

  • You’ve ticked all the boxes (job, kids, house, relationship) but still feel invisible and unappreciated in your own life.

  • You feel like a ghost version of the fun, carefree, content, woman that you used to be.

  • You’ve always been the good girl; the fixer, the peacekeeper, the one who never complains. But secretly, you’re done with that role.

You don’t need fixing.

You need redefining.

Here’s the truth: you’re not broken, failing or not good enough.

You’re burnt out.

And it’s time to rewrite your story.

How we change that:

With me, you won’t get cookie-cutter advice, fluffy self-care tips, or quick fixes. You’ll get therapy & coaching that strips away the good-girl conditioning and helps you:

✨ Quiet the constant mental noise (finally)
✨ Untangle old patterns that kept you “safe” but stuck
✨ Rebuild self-worth, boundaries, and emotional resilience
✨ Breathe again with headspace you didn’t think was possible
✨ Redefine what success, womanhood, and motherhood actually mean to you

My Programmes:

🧠 Headspace — my 1-hour video workshop that is your mental and emotional MOT, designed to help you understand, and break free from, the perfectionist programming running your brain.

🌿 The Reset Programme — 6 months of 1:1 therapy & coaching to help you break the burnout cycle and reset the good girl habits and beliefs that have been running the show for too long.

🔥 Redefine — my VIP 12-month container: a revolution in how womanhood and motherhood are lived. This is therapy for the woman you were never allowed to be, until now.

Why me?

Because I’ve lived this.

I was the perfectionist, the people-pleaser, the “perfect wife and mum” until the box I’d built around myself cracked wide open. Divorce, single motherhood, running a business, I’ve walked the fire and rebuilt myself from the inside out.

Now I help women like you do the same. My work blends evidence-based therapy with no-BS coaching and practical tools that actually work in real life.

So if you’re ready to drop the mask, ditch the good-girl conditioning, and finally claim a life that feels calm, free, and unapologetically yours, I’d love to be right there with you.

I use a variety of tools and techniques tailored to the needs of each client including:

  • Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT): To reframe negative thought patterns and behaviours.

  • Hypnotherapy: To tap into the subconscious and address deep-rooted, hidden issues.

  • Neuro-linguistic Programming (NLP): To change limiting beliefs and the relationship with yourself.

  • Applied Psychology: To understand and apply psychological principles in everyday situations.

  • Positive Psychology: To help create a new lens on life.

  • Journal Therapy: To tap deep into what you’ve been avoiding the most and keep yourself accountable for change.

  • Goal Setting & Action Planning: To create practical steps for change and monitor your personal growth.
