Join the FOTA Website
FOTA Membership
The Focusing Organization is a professional group of certified Focusing Oriented Psychotherapists. We are a subset of the overall international Focusing community.
Most of us have years of immersion in the philosophy and practice of Focusing-oriented Therapy. All FOTs listed have completed a specialist post-graduate/post-registration level training to become TIFI certified in this approach. We offer psychotherapy as well as individual Focusing sessions and Focusing training for the public and other professionals.
The FOTA itself does not offer certification, registration, or licensing of therapists or Focusing teachers. Certification of Focusing-Oriented Therapists is currently offered by The International Focusing Institute upon the successful completion of a substantial training coordinated by experienced FOTs most of whom are also Certifying Coordinators of TIFI. Of course it is also possible to take stand-alone workshops in FOT that do not necessarily lead to certification, purely for professional development.
To join the FOTA website, you must be:
Registered as a counsellor/psychotherapist/psychologist (or mental health professional) in your local jurisdiction

If you fulfil this criteria, please fill out the form below. You will be asked to send practice details and a photo.
Members of FOTA can participate in a discussion list with participants who are interested in Focusing approaches to therapeutic practices. The discussion list is mostly made up of counsellors, psychotherapists, art therapists, social workers, and psychologists from around the world, but it may also include academics, researchers, philosophers and Focusing teachers interested in the therapeutic potential of Focusing and its wider philosophical underpinnings.
