THE TRAINING
The emphasis of the Homa Counselling and Psychotherapy Training is on the practical application of theoretical knowledge and skills
The Homa Diploma in Counselling and Psychotherapy is rooted in humanistic theory while integrating other approaches including PTMF (Power Threat Meaning Framework a trauma-informed approach), embodied movement, art therapy and eco-therapy. Homa blends academic teaching, experiential and skills-based learning and personal awareness. You will develop yourself and your skills through group work, individual coaching, reflexive course work and a supervised voluntary placement. In all experiential work, you will be invited to bring your personal material, which supports you to engage and remain focussed on your own development. Your course assignments draw on the use of written, audio, visual and other creative media.
You will learn through being in relationship...
...with yourself, with your mind, your emotions and your body, with your fellow trainees, the group and the leaders, with the natural world and with the wider community. The Homa Diploma in Counselling and Psychotherapy curriculum is delivered through the experience of engaging in these relationships with curiosity, openness and honesty. You will develop the ability and skills to create meaningful and transformative relationships, which you will take into your work with clients.
