It is possible to pay in instalments, by agreement.
We offer a substantial bursary of up to 75% of the fees. There are two full bursaries available for each year. Please see the information on bursaries in the next tab.
You can choose to join The Foundation Year for personal or professional development without being a trainee.
If you join as a trainee, you will need to allow for the following costs on top of the course fees:
Training Advisor Meetings - You will have a minimum of three, one hour meetings per year, one per term. You or your Training Advisor may request additional meetings if needed. The cost per meeting is £75.
Personal Psychotherapy - Forty sessions per year for the duration of your training. The cost of individual therapy varies.
Professional Supervision (From Year 3) - The exact number of supervision hours will depend on your client hours and costs vary. Most organisations offer supervision free of charge to their volunteer practitioners.
Graduation Interview - The Homa graduation interview takes place at the end of your training with two tutors. The fee for this interview is £250.
Instalment Plans
It is possible to arrange an instalment plan to pay the fees monthly by direct debit, by agreement with Homa. Please speak to us if you would like to arrange this. We do not charge any additional fees or percentage for this option, as long as the payments are made in accordance with the agreement.
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.
