New information for holders of American health insurance policies. 'As of October 3rd, 2008, insurance companies must cover mental and physical illnesses equally, under a provision included in the so-called bailout legislation signed into law by President Bush (Emergency Economic Stabilization Act, H.R. 1424).' 'The new law expands parity to include deductibles, co-payments, out-of-pocket expenses, co-insurance, covered hospital stays, and covered out-patient visits.' (American Psychotherapy Association Newsletter, 15 October 2008).

Insurance providers from other countries, depending on your policy, may cover part or all of the cost of your sessions. Individuals experiencing substantial financial difficulties and who do not have private health coverage may be eligible for reduced fees.

Welcome to Transitions Therapy. My name is Teri and I am a British qualified humanistic therapist providing counseling and psychotherapy to English-speaking expatriates. I lived in America for well over two decades, England for nearly 17 years and most recently moved my private practice from the United Kingdom to accompany my husband to the Netherlands. As an expatriate, I have a clear understanding of the difficulties one can experience when making an international move. As a mother, I have raised two daughters into lovely autonomous young women, both of which have graduated from the University of Cambridge in England. As a result of my education, training and life experiences, I have a solid understanding of the problems one may encounter within expatriation, relationships, family dynamics, foreign educational systems and the empty nest.

My professional experience includes working as a counsellor and psychotherapist with adults, adolescents and couples. I have worked in British schools, community counselling agencies, private practice and an employee assistance programme (EAP). I have experience working with a variety of clients suffering from various emotional and psychological problems including, but not limited to, relationship difficulties, depression, bereavement, bullying, post-traumatic stress, and suicidal ideation. I have worked with multi-cultural expatriate clients from a variety of backgrounds. I am honoured to have met so many interesting individuals and I continue to be humbled by their courageousness as they travel on a personal journey toward fulfilling their potential.

In addition to the qualifications listed above, I have completed workshops and professional trainings at numerous institutions including the Westminster Pastoral Foundation (WPF London) and continue to be active in continuing professional development training and workshops. I am a member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), Counselling Children and Young People (CCYP), the American Psychotherapy Association (APA), the American Counselling Association (ACA), the World Association of Psychotherapy and Counselling (WAPCEPC) and BAPCA. My affiliation with these professional associations affords me the opportunity to keep up to date with current research in the field of counselling and psychotherapy. Hence, I can continue to develop as a practitioner and become a more valuable resource for my clients.

As a humanistic therapist, my philosophy is that human beings possess extensive resources within themselves and have the capacity to fulfil their potential. However, along life’s journey, we may face obstacles, which can block our paths. During these times one may need help in finding ways of coping with difficulties. As a therapist, my aim is to provide a confidential, safe and trusting environment, which facilitates individuals to increase their self-awareness and become empowered. Through the exploration of one’s perceptions, individuals can begin to understand their experiencing and discover meaning for themselves. The therapeutic process is an opportunity for individuals to recognize that they have choices and those choices can effect change in their relationships and lives. My philosophy in essence, is to help people explore their difficulties, discover new insights and transition to a more resourceful way of living and being.
