TRTP Pricing | TRTP Clinic | The Richards Trauma Process

At TRTP Clinic, we offer a complete package of three sessions, charged upfront. Pricing ranges from $1,500 to $2,100 (excluding GST), depending on the individual practitioner. Each session typically lasts around two hours, providing a comprehensive and structured process designed to deliver results within a set timeframe. When comparing pricing between therapies, it’s important to look beyond the cost per session and consider the full structure, approach, and outcomes offered.

Key considerations when comparing TRTP to other therapies:

Clear structure and timeline: TRTP is designed to resolve issues within three sessions, rather than requiring an open-ended commitment.
Focus on resolution, not symptom management: TRTP aims to address and resolve the root causes of trauma, anxiety, and depression, rather than managing symptoms over time.
No need to retell or relive trauma: The process is designed to be safe and empowering, without requiring clients to re-experience distressing memories.
Value for investment: With a defined package and clear therapeutic outcomes, TRTP offers a highly targeted and efficient approach compared to ongoing, indefinite therapy models.

Reference Points

CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy)

– For PTSD, the Australian Guidelines for the Treatment of Acute Stress Disorder and PTSD (Phoenix Australia) recommend trauma-focused CBT, usually over 8–16 sessions, depending on severity.
– Many sources, including Beyond Blue and clinical practice, cite 12–20 sessions as typical for moderate PTSD.

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing)

– EMDR International Association notes that typical PTSD treatment can range from 6–12 sessions.
– In complex cases, many more sessions may be needed, but 6–12 is a standard for single-incident trauma.

IFS (Internal Family Systems Therapy)

– IFS is typically described as longer-term therapy. The IFS Institute mentions that trauma recovery can take anywhere from 20 to 40+ sessions, especially for complex trauma.
– Clinical sources describe it as open-ended without a fixed number of sessions.

TRTP (The Richards Trauma Process)

– TRTP is a proprietary structured process, explicitly designed to deliver trauma resolution in three 2-hour sessions (as stated by The Richards Trauma Process materials).
