TRTP Trauma Therapy
Effective, Individualised Trauma Therapy
- Are you living with the lingering effects of past trauma — whether a specific event or a difficult chapter in your life?
- Do anxiety, depression, fears, or even chronic symptoms persist despite your efforts to heal?
- Have you internalised painful beliefs like “I’m not enough” or “My needs don’t matter”?
If so, you’re not alone — and there is a path forward.
This is a short duration trauma therapy. Aiming to resolve the effects of psychological trauma, TRTP is an effective treatment for trauma-related issues, such as anxiety, depression, fears, and phobias. TRTP is a structured, step-by-step process delivering trauma therapy quickly, efficiently, and safely.
I offer TRTP trauma therapy that is uniquely informed by Internal Family Systems (IFS) parts work, creating a compassionate, tailored approach. While TRTP is typically a three-session model, with limited therapeutic connection; I take a more individualised, compassionate approach that honours the complexity of your inner world.

What is TRTP?
The Richards Trauma Process (TRTP) is a rapid, structured therapy that aims to resolve the effects of trauma quickly, safely, and gently. It addresses trauma-related symptoms by working directly with the subconscious and body.
TRTP works without needing you to retell your traumatic story. Instead, it supports your system in recognising that the past is over — returning the nervous system to a calm, self-regulated state. This means your body and mind can shift from “I’m not safe” to “It’s over. I’m safe now.”
Informed by IFS, our work will also help you develop a deeper relationship with the parts of yourself impacted by trauma. By combining the structure of TRTP with the relational, compassionate lens of IFS, we work with your inner system rather than around it — making space for authentic healing and sustainable change.
Why It Works
TRTP aligns with what trauma experts like Bessel van der Kolk and Peter Levine describe as essential for trauma resolution:
- The person must be returned to an empowered state in relation to the trauma.
- The body must know that the threat is over — and safety is now possible.
TRTP uses dynamic imagination through non-trance hypnosis to update limiting core beliefs and shift the nervous system into regulation. When informed by parts work, this process becomes even more powerful, allowing protective parts to soften and healing to occur in a way that feels safe, respectful, and paced to your needs.
How Is TRTP Different from Traditional Trauma Therapy?
TRTP blends elements from many therapeutic models, including Gestalt Therapy, Mindfulness, Ego-State Therapy, Parts Therapy, Emotion-Focused Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Cognitive Therapy. It does not rely on regression or reliving trauma and does not require years of talking therapy.
Unlike traditional approaches that focus on managing or reducing symptoms, TRTP Therapy aims to resolve the root of trauma — quickly and deeply. And when paired with IFS-informed care, this approach supports not only symptom relief but true reconnection to your Self.

FAQ’s
What is TRTP therapy?
TRTP is a form of experiential therapy that is very effective at resolving severe trauma and trauma-related difficulties, such as anxiety, depression, fears, and phobias. TRTP involves a unique and dynamic sequenced series of steps and incorporates dynamic reimagination, addressing the trauma where it is stored – in the subconscious and in the body. Often clients come to TRTP after having tried established therapies, some for many years, without making progress.
Which therapist is most effective for trauma?
There are many different types of therapists such as psychologists, psychiatrists, counsellors, hypnotherapists and other mental health practitioners. The most effective therapist for trauma is someone who is skilled in specific trauma therapies and has extensive experience in treating clients for trauma. It is important to find a therapist you connect with, someone who listens to you and treats you as a person, not as a condition.
Can a therapist help with trauma?
Engaging in trauma-focused therapy and working closely with the therapist is an effective way to resolve the effects of trauma. There are other ways to heal such as relationships and connection, re-connecting to your culture and ancestral customs, having a practice such as yoga and/or meditation, expressions such as art, dance, and writing, and more. However, these other ways may simply provide symptom relief and lack the process needed to understand and resolve the root cause of the trauma.
What kind of trauma counselling is most effective?
Common trauma counselling uses established trauma therapies such as cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), prolonged exposure (PE) therapy and eye movement desensitization reprocessing (EMDR). These have moderate effectiveness and can be slower and risk reactivating traumatic experiences. Newer therapies such as TRTP can be considered more safer and more effective, while internal family systems (IFS) therapy is more extensive and compassionate.
How long does complex trauma therapy take?
How long therapy takes is situational based on the type of therapy(s) being applied and the readiness of the client to start the therapy treatment. Treatment lengths can vary from years using established therapies down to months using other forms of therapy. Often a combination of therapies used in sequence can be very useful in treating complex trauma.
Is it possible to recover from complex trauma?
Using the right therapy, it is possible to fully recover from any traumatic experience or event although this may take time. Different therapies have different degrees of effectiveness. TRTP therapy has shown to be very effective at resolving moderate trauma when provided by skilled practitioners such as trauma therapists.
