A Training That Welcomes All of You
At Homa, we value your lived experience, creativity, and personal growth just as much as your professional development.
Whatever your background, story, or path so far — you belong here. This course is for people who want to work deeply, honestly, and compassionately with others.
You’ll be supported to grow into a therapist who is fully present — emotionally, physically, and intellectually — able to meet each client with openness, curiosity, and care.
This isn’t just about learning how to do therapy. It’s about becoming the kind of therapist who can truly be with people in ways that are attuned, human, and healing.
Blending Theory with Embodied & Creative Practice
You’ll explore powerful Humanistic approaches — Gestalt, Person-Centred, and Transactional Analysis — not just as ideas, but as lived experience.
The training weaves theory together with creative, embodied practices such as:
-
Formative Psychology
-
Embodied Movement
-
Art Psychotherapy
-
Ecotherapy
Through this, you’ll discover who you are in relationship with yourself, others, and the wider world — bringing that relational depth into your therapeutic work.
Grow Into the Therapist You Dream of Being
At Homa, you’ll be seen, challenged, and supported.
This is a space to grow in ways that are:
-
Deeply personal
-
Professionally enriching
-
Profoundly transformative
You’ll develop into a therapist who is not only skilled and ethical, but also embodied, present, and compassionate.
A therapist who brings their whole self into the room — and creates space for others to do the same.
All of you is welcome here.
Take the first step
Take your first step in applying to Homa by attending an Introductory Workshop. On this in-person workshop, we introduce you to the theoretical framework and experiential nature of the Foundation Year. In addition you will find out all about our Humanistic Psychotherapy Training Programme. You will meet the programme leaders and some of your future colleagues. What’s more, by participating in the introductory workshop, you will find out first hand what it would be like to train at Homa.
Testimonials
In the words of our trainees…
“I have found the first year of the HOMA training to be an extraordinary experience. The training is experiential rather than academic, but nevertheless has a rigorous theoretical underpinning and is exceptionally carefully structured and taught. The learning in the foundation year is challenging, but the tutors create a held (and healing) space in which that learning can take place. Their commitment to equality, diversity and to the self-realisation of each trainee is absolute, and is woven through everything that we do. HOMA is perpetually surprising, uniquely enriching, and altogether an inspiring and beautiful thing to be part of. Joining the course is the best rash decision that I ever made.”
