Homa is a professional psychotherapy training rather than an academic programme, and does not offer qualifications within the formal Levels system. At the end of the Foundation Year, you will receive a certificate of attendance. The depth of training and number of hours completed can support progression into the second year of other therapy trainings. On completing the full four-year programme, you will be awarded a Diploma in Humanistic Counselling & Psychotherapy. This qualification enables you to practise as a counsellor/psychotherapist and to register as a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). Homa is an organisational member of the BACP. What does this mean?   The BACP is the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, they provide organisational membership for services, training providers and companies working in the counselling field.
