Humanistic Psychotherapy & Counselling Training Course London, UK

This piece, written by trainee Gianluca Campanella, was inspired by his explorations as part of Year 2 work at Homa on sex, sexuality, and gender. It was first published in Counselling Matters, the magazine of the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society, in their December 2025 issue on men’s mental health.

Most of us are familiar with professional bodies like BACP or NCPS, organisations that focus on ethics, accreditation and professional standards. But fewer therapists and trainees know about the Psychotherapy and Counselling Union (PCU) a practitioner-led union that represents and supports counsellors and psychotherapists in a different way.

When the founders of Homa began dreaming up this project, we wanted a name that carried meaning, something alive, symbolic and resonant across cultures.

On Sunday 13th July 2025, HOMA Year 2 trainees presented an exhibition at the HOMA headquarters on Lloyd Baker Street which was a culmination of our term’s work on Race, Power and Privilege.

It is with deep gratitude that we honour the life and legacy of Jenner Roth, co-founder of Spectrum, Centre for Humanistic and Integrative Psychotherapy

What are the ethical and relational costs of AI speaking as us when it’s not us?

We acknowledge that identity is deeply personal, and everyone has the right to define themselves in the way that feels authentic. Global Majority is not a label that works for everyone, and we respect individual preferences.

Did the UK Supreme Court rule on the ‘legal definition of a woman’?

Some reflections on the recent Supreme Court judgment. Last Wednesday, the Supreme Court handed down judgment in the case of For Women Scotland Ltd v The Scottish Ministers. Whilst not pretending to provide a comprehensive analysis, we thought it might be helpful to explain some elements of the judgment for HOMA trainees, and to offer some ideas as to what it might mean for the work that we do together.

At HOMA you will learn how to be a relational therapist by discovering how to be in relationship with your whole self: body, heart and mind.
