Dina Hijazi
Psychologist, PhD, CSAT
Struggles with gambling can affect not just finances, but self-esteem, relationships, and overall well-being. I provide a supportive, judgment-free environment to help individuals understand the emotional and behavioral drivers behind compulsive gambling. Using evidence-based approaches like cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), relapse prevention strategies, and emotional regulation tools, we work together to regain control, rebuild trust, and create healthier coping mechanisms. Recovery is possible—with the right support, change can start today.

Louise Perry
Registered Psychotherapist, IFS UKCP HCCP
I work with adults affected by gambling, both those who gamble themselves and those living alongside a partner or family member’s gambling. Gambling can organise relationships around secrecy, volatility, financial strain, and repeated cycles of hope and disappointment, often leaving people unsure how to respond or where responsibility lies.
My work draws on Integrative Art Psychotherapy and Internal Family Systems (IFS), offering ways to understand how gambling functions within an individual or family system, and what roles different people may have been pulled into over time. Sessions focus on clarity, boundaries, and the emotional impact of gambling, rather than quick solutions or pressure toward change. We may work through conversation, creative exploration, or a combination of both, depending on what feels most useful.

Julien Moe
Hypnotherapist, Diploma in Clinical and Applied Hypnosis, Diploma in Life Coaching
Addiction destroys everybody. Research finds that losing can trigger a release of dopamine to almost the same extent as winning, which is why you may stay in the casino after dropping a few hands. Your body also produces adrenalin and pleasurable endorphins throughout the win/lose gambling cycle. All my clients with this disorder are getting resilient in no time due to Dicit hypnotherapy. Now it's your turn. I use Dicit hypnotherapy for your resilience and recovery. Get ready to quit gambling once and for all.
