Professional training in Orpheus
For therapists, coaches and mental health practitioners.
Professional training in Orpheus teaches therapists and coaches how to use the Orpheus Decoupling Process to work safely and effectively with unwanted emotional responses, limiting beliefs, and entrenched subconscious patterns.
What is professional training in Orpheus?
Professional training in Orpheus is delivered through the Orpheus Academy, the professional training and development framework for therapists, coaches and mental health practitioners.
The training is designed for professionals who want to expand their existing practice by integrating Orpheus as a structured emotional change system. It provides both the method and the ethical framework for using Orpheus appropriately with clients or groups.
This is not self-help training.
It is professional education for people already working in therapeutic, coaching or mental health roles.
What is the Orpheus Decoupling Process?
The Orpheus Decoupling Process is a structured system designed to separate automatic emotional responses from the thoughts, memories and beliefs that trigger them.
Unwanted emotional reactions, ingrained beliefs and behavioural patterns are not held at a conscious level. They operate subconsciously and are often resistant to insight or rational explanation alone.
Orpheus training teaches professionals how to work at this underlying level, where emotional responses and patterns are formed and maintained.
What do you learn in the Orpheus professional training?
Professional training in Orpheus is delivered in progressive levels, each building on the last.
Level 1: Working with emotional responses
Level 1 training focuses on identifying and resolving unwanted emotional responses linked to past, present or anticipated situations.
Professionals learn how to work with emotional reactions such as fear, anxiety, anger or distress using Orpheus tools designed to decouple emotion from trigger.
Level 2: Working with beliefs and patterns
Level 2 training focuses on limiting beliefs and recurring internal patterns that hold people back in life or work.
This level teaches how to work with belief structures and internal narratives using Orpheus tools designed to disengage unhelpful beliefs and support the creation of new, more adaptive patterns.
Level 3: Specialist applications
Level 3 training focuses on applying the Orpheus Decoupling Process to specific areas of practice.
Specialist applications may include working with young people, addictive behaviours, relationship difficulties, career and performance challenges, or eating-related issues.
This level is designed for practitioners who want to deepen and specialise their use of Orpheus within defined client groups or contexts.
Professional use, assessment and licensing
To use Orpheus professionally, practitioners complete an assessment following each level of training.
Assessment ensures that practitioners understand the method, its appropriate application and its boundaries. Successful completion allows practitioners to access Orpheus tools and use them within professional practice.
