I have always had doubts about Psychologist, maybe because of my childhood experience. However, after reading the reviews about Mortatha I decided to try it out.

Relationship

Online couples therapy: Can it save your relationship?

Romantic relationships strengthen us, enrich our daily lives and can have a positive impact on our health. So why do we sometimes find it so difficult to maintain a long-term relationship? Nowadays, we are generally more financially and socially independent from our partners than we used to be. This opens up new freedoms, but can also lead us to question relationships more quickly. When is it worth working through a difficult phase together? And when is a break-up the better decision? There is no one-size-fits-all answer to this. However, online couples therapy or psychological couples counselling can help you to better understand conflicts, develop new perspectives and work out together how your relationship should move forward.

This may be due to ADHD, or Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder. Children and teenagers are most commonly diagnosed with ADHD, but adults can also exhibit ADHD symptoms. In this article, you’ll find out what symptoms of ADHD appear in adults, how a diagnosis is made and how you can manage it in the long term.

The first psychotherapy session: what to expect, costs and tips

My first appointment with a psychotherapist is coming up and suddenly I’m faced with lots of questions: What should I talk about? What questions will I be asked? Do I have to talk about my past? And what if I don’t even know where to start? Or thoughts like “It’s bound to be embarrassing to talk to a stranger about my problems” or “The psychologist will surely think I’m completely mad” spring to mind. In this article, you’ll find out how an initial consultation works, what questions are typically asked, what costs you might incur, and what you should bear in mind.
