Everyone’s starting point is different—and that’s okay.
Most clients benefit from some individual guidance while learning the Mickel Therapy® process. Others feel comfortable beginning independently. Both routes contain the complete Core Course—the difference is the level of personal support included from the beginning.
Choose the route that feels right for you now. You can always add further support later.
£595 — course plus three sessions
If you feel that some individual guidance would help, the Guided route gives you lifelong access to the complete Core Course together with three sessions from one of our team coaches.
After purchase, we’ll ask you to complete a short intake form. We’ll then introduce you to the coach who best fits your needs, language and time zone, while taking current availability into account. Your three sessions can be used at the points that feel most helpful within nine months.
£295 — lifelong course access
If it feels right to begin at your own pace, Self-Directed gives you lifelong access to the same complete Core Course without private sessions included.
You may already have suitable support, prefer to learn independently or simply want the most affordable place to begin. If you later feel that a conversation would help, you can add a team-coach session for £110 at any stage.
You can begin Self-Directed and add coaching later, or choose Guided from the outset if you already know that some personal support would help.
A limited number of free 20-minute conversations are available, but you do not need to wait for one before beginning.

View 1:1 SupportMickel Therapy® Coach Training is for people who feel drawn to helping others understand the deeper signals behind prolonged activation, fatigue, overwhelm and persistent symptoms.
This is not simply training in a set of techniques. It is an opportunity to develop a different way of listening—to the person, to the Body, and to what may be asking to change in their life.
Through the training, participants learn the principles, language and practical coaching skills of Mickel Therapy® and develop the confidence to begin working with clients themselves.
Mickel Therapy® begins with a simple but profound shift.
Rather than viewing persistent symptoms only as things that have gone wrong, we explore them as meaningful outputs arising within a body that has remained in a Prolonged Activation State (PAS).
The work helps clients become more aware of the signals their Body is continually generating—and of the emotional, relational and fulfilment-related changes those signals may be asking for.
As a coach, your role is not to diagnose, fix or persuade. It is to help someone listen more clearly. To recognise patterns. To reconnect with their emotional truth. And ultimately to become increasingly able to respond to their own Body without depending upon you.
The Coach Training develops both your understanding of Mickel Therapy® and your ability to work confidently with another person.
Understand symptoms as meaningful outputs of the Body’s signalling system. Explore Prolonged Activation State (PAS), the coordinating role of the hypothalamus and the distinction between the Head-Mind and the sensory, energetic Body.
Develop practitioner presence, empathic listening, reflection and emotional precision. Learn to recognise activation, excessive analysis and patterns of pressure or self-abandonment—and gently support a return to embodied awareness.
Learn to distinguish symptoms from the underlying Body signals generating them. Help clients recognise recurring signals, including the Four Body Emotions, and translate growing awareness into emotionally aligned action.
Explore how activation can be continually renewed when present Body signals remain unaddressed. Learn how Boundaries, Honest Communication and Fulfilment can reduce the ongoing need for activation and support meaningful change.
Understand how conditioning, people-pleasing, emotional suppression and self-abandonment can shape repeating patterns. Support clients to make consistent, realistic changes through Boundaries, Honest Communication and Fulfilment.
Learn how to structure sessions, work constructively with resistance and maintain appropriate professional boundaries. Develop through supervision, practitioner self-awareness and embodiment—while helping clients build greater independence and self-leadership.
Successful completion of the programme gives you the knowledge and practical foundation to become a:
From there, there are two ways you may practise.
Team Coaches are practitioners who work more closely with Mickel Therapy® and actively represent the current approach.
Potential opportunities may include:
Affiliate Coaches have completed Mickel Therapy® Coach Training but practise independently rather than as part of the active Mickel Therapy team.
This may particularly suit someone who already has their own:
An Affiliate Coach may make Mickel Therapy central to their work or integrate its principles alongside existing professional skills. They remain professionally connected to Mickel Therapy® while retaining greater independence over how they build and develop their practice.
The distinction between Team Coach and Affiliate Coach is not about one being better qualified than the other. Both begin with exactly the same Mickel Therapy® Coach Training. The difference is the professional relationship they have with Mickel Therapy after qualifying.
Your pathway does not necessarily have to remain permanent. An Affiliate Coach may later become a Team Coach where there is mutual fit and opportunity; a Team Coach may also later choose independent Affiliate practice.
You do not need to become somebody different to do this work. But you do need curiosity, emotional maturity and a genuine willingness to listen.
Previous clinical or therapeutic qualifications may be helpful, but suitability is considered individually. What matters enormously is a person’s capacity for presence, self-awareness and willingness to engage with the work in their own life.
Mickel Therapy® is difficult to understand purely intellectually. For that reason, Coach Training is not simply about learning what to say to someone else.
Participants will also be encouraged to explore their own Body signals, Matrix patterns, boundaries, honest communication, fulfilment and the ways in which the Head-Mind can override what the Body is already signalling.
Successful completion of the training and assessment leads to recognition as a:
You can then begin practising through the Affiliate Coach pathway, or explore joining the Mickel Therapy Team where there is mutual fit and availability.
Ongoing supervision and continued professional development are important parts of maintaining good practice.
Mickel Therapy® continues to evolve. The Prolonged Activation State framework, our growing online course ecosystem and the increasing reach of Mickel Therapy are creating new opportunities for practitioners who genuinely resonate with this work.
We want to develop thoughtful, grounded practitioners who understand the principles deeply and can bring them to life authentically.
For those who feel particularly aligned, the Team Coach pathway offers an opportunity to become part of that continuing journey.
All Coach Training applicants must complete the Mickel Therapy® Core Course before beginning Coach Training.
The Core Course provides the essential conceptual and experiential foundation for the professional training, including the current Mickel Therapy framework, Prolonged Activation State, Body signalling, the Three Keys and the principles that underpin the coaching work.
Coach Training therefore builds upon the Core Course rather than repeating it from the beginning.
The Core Course is purchased separately and is not included or credited against the Coach Training fee. This allows the application process to confirm that each participant has completed the Core Course and has personal experience of the treatment process before training begins.
The application process comes before payment. Applications are reviewed individually, and confirmed dates and joining information are shared directly with accepted applicants by email.
For more than 25 years, Dr Mickel has explored a different way of understanding persistent symptoms: not simply as signs that the body is broken, but as meaningful communication that can be listened to and understood.
His work as a doctor, and his experience of working with thousands of people around the world, led to the development of Mickel Therapy®—an approach that continues to evolve as our understanding of the Body’s own communication deepens.

The first step does not need to be a commitment to train. Complete the existing Training Application and the team will contact you by email about fit, acceptance and the next available intake.
