The Richards Trauma Process (TRTP) Therapy is a revolutionary approach to resolving trauma, anxiety, and emotional imbalances. Unlike traditional therapies, TRTP works directly with the subconscious mind to release deeply held trauma and rewire negative thought patterns. By addressing the root causes of distress, TRTP enables profound, lasting change in a way that is safe, effective, and empowering. Whether you’re dealing with past trauma, anxiety, or feelings of being stuck, TRTP offers a pathway to freedom and emotional well-being.
What is TRTP Therapy?
TRTP (The Richards Trauma Process) Therapy is a unique and powerful therapeutic method developed by Australian psychotherapist Judith Richards. It is designed to help individuals overcome the effects of trauma without the need to relive painful memories. The therapy combines principles of neuroscience, psychology, and energy medicine to create a holistic approach that resolves trauma at its core.
TRTP is based on the understanding that trauma locks the body and mind into a “fight, flight, or freeze” state, which leads to emotional and physical distress. By using targeted techniques, TRTP resets the nervous system, allowing individuals to regain control over their lives and emotions.

How Does TRTP Therapy Work?
TRTP follows a structured three-step process:
Step 1: Empowering the Client
The first step involves empowering the client to recognise their inner strength and resilience. This stage sets the foundation for healing by shifting the individual from a state of helplessness to one of empowerment.
Step 2: Addressing and Resolving the Trauma
In this step, TRTP uses techniques like guided visualisation and relaxation to access the subconscious mind and release trauma. By communicating with the unconscious, the therapy resolves the emotional charge associated with traumatic memories, allowing the individual to break free from the past.
Step 3: Creating a Positive Future Outlook
The final step focuses on rewiring negative thought patterns and establishing a sense of hope and direction. This stage helps clients envision a life free from trauma, paving the way for lasting emotional and mental well-being.
TRTP is effective because it works with the subconscious mind, where trauma is stored, and addresses it without the client having to relive distressing experiences.

What to Expect During a TRTP Session
The Richards Trauma Process (TRTP) is a structured program designed to resolve trauma, anxiety, depression, and PTSD safely, quickly, and effectively. The full program is usually completed in 3–4 sessions over 4–6 weeks, with each session running for approximately two hours. Many clients notice positive shifts even after the first appointment. Sessions are available in person at our clinic or online, depending on your preference.
- Initial Consultation: Before commencing the program, we offer a complimentary 30-minute session to ensure TRTP is the right fit for you.
- Session One: We work together to identify and resolve negative subconscious core beliefs that may have been holding you back (for example, “I am not good enough” or “It’s not safe to stand out”). These beliefs are unique for each person, and addressing them can feel transformative from the very first session.
- Sessions Two & Three: These sessions focus on removing the emotional charge from past events. By shifting the body and mind out of “fight, flight, or freeze” and into a place of calm, symptoms such as anxiety, depression, chronic fatigue, or stress often reduce significantly.
- Final Session: In the last session, we look to the future. We integrate and align the conscious and subconscious mind, helping you feel clear, confident, and ready to move forward.
- Follow-Up: Approximately 4–6 weeks later, we provide a complimentary phone follow-up to review your progress and support any further integration.
