Aria Fraser
Hypnotherapist, Certified Rapid Transformational Therapist
Gambling habits and addictions are usually not really about getting money, but the thrill and the rush of feel-good chemicals the brain makes when the person scores a win. Gambling is usually driven by a deep need to feel enough or feel alive, and to fill an emptiness that arises from not feeling enough or having enough. The origin is often from a belief that was unknowingly formed early in life that the person wasn't good enough somehow, and this drives the behavior to fill that need. Rapid Transformational Therapy helps to find the root cause of the beliefs, then interrupt and release them, while creating new pathways in the brain that create effective change away from the unwanted behavior. Then, beneficial beliefs and visualizations are 'installed' at the subconscious level to replace them, along with ongoing support after the session.

Dr. Cara Bussell, PhD, LLC
Psychologist
Gambling can start as entertainment but may grow into a source of stress, financial strain, and emotional distress. I work with adults who are concerned about their gambling habits or are struggling to regain a sense of stability and control. Using evidence-based approaches such as motivational interviewing, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and psychoeducation, I help clients explore their behaviors, build healthier coping strategies, and reconnect with what matters most. If gambling is interfering with your well-being or relationships, I invite you to reach out for a free consultation.

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.
