Meet Tony Richardson – Counsellor for Anxiety, Depression, Grief & Life Challenges in Plymouth

​

Hello, I’m Tony.

​

Ahead of booking an appointment, I wanted to introduce myself so that meeting face to face for the first time may feel a little easier.

I understand that getting through the door is not always easy. For many people, reaching out for counselling can take weeks, months or even years of thinking about it first.

​

Sometimes it comes from a quiet sense that something just is not right. Other times, it comes when life feels heavier than usual and you realise you have reached the limits of your own resilience.

​

You do not have to manage everything alone.

​

I’m Tony Richardson, a professional counsellor in Plymouth, offering calm, supportive therapy for adults experiencing depression, anxiety, grief, trauma, relationship difficulties, stress, loneliness and major life changes.

Counselling in Plymouth When Life Changes Quietly

Many people keep going for months or years before asking for support.

​

You may be:

• Feeling low or emotionally flat

• Struggling after bereavement or loss

• Carrying trauma from the past

• Battling stress or anxiety

• Feeling isolated or withdrawn

• Facing retirement, ageing or identity changes

• Having relationship difficulties

• Feeling stuck in old patterns

• Lacking confidence or self-worth

• Feeling unlike yourself

​

Therapy can help you make sense of what is happening and begin moving forward.

​

My Approach to Therapy

​

Clients often value a therapist who is steady, respectful and easy to speak with.

My approach is thoughtful, warm and non-judgemental, paced around your needs. Sessions provide a confidential space to talk openly, understand emotional patterns, and work towards healthier coping strategies and clearer direction.

There is no pressure to be anyone other than yourself.

​

Counselling can be a place of curiosity rather than judgement — somewhere to honour your story, explore the narrative you have carried for years, and consider whether it still serves you.

Sometimes therapy is about rediscovering the more authentic version of yourself.

​

Counselling for Men

Many men spend years carrying pressure silently.

Sometimes this shows as:

• Anger or irritability

• Withdrawal from others

• Drinking more than usual

• Shutting down emotionally

• Working constantly

• Feeling numb or detached

​

Counselling offers a confidential space to speak honestly, regain perspective, and work through difficulties without judgement.

​

Support Before Crisis Point

​

Many people seek help only when things become unbearable.

Support can be just as valuable earlier — when something simply feels off, heavy or difficult to carry.

​

You do not need to wait until crisis before reaching out.

​

Finding the right person to work with can feel difficult.
