Introduction

Hello, I’m Tony Richardson.

Before you book an appointment, I want to introduce myself so that meeting for the first time feels a little easier.

I understand that reaching out for counselling is not always easy. For many people, it takes weeks, months, or even years before taking that step.

Sometimes it’s a quiet feeling that something isn’t quite right. Other times life feels heavy, and you realise you’ve reached the limit of what you can carry alone.

You don’t have to manage everything by yourself.

About Me

I’m a professional counsellor based in Plymouth, offering calm and supportive therapy for adults experiencing emotional and life challenges.

My Approach

My approach is warm, steady, and non-judgemental.

Sessions provide a confidential space where you can speak openly, explore emotional patterns, and develop healthier ways of coping.

There is no pressure to be anything other than yourself.

Counselling is a space for reflection, curiosity, and understanding your story at your own pace.
