Kevin Jones
Psychologist, MACP
My approach to treating problem gambling is grounded in evidence-based practices that address both the underlying drivers and the behavioural patterns that keep individuals stuck in the cycle. I begin by helping clients understand the emotional, cognitive, and situational triggers that lead to gambling urges, while teaching practical skills to reduce impulsivity and regain control. Using a blend of cognitive-behavioural strategies, motivational enhancement, and harm-reduction techniques, I supports clients in rebuilding healthier coping mechanisms, repairing financial or relational impacts, and strengthening long-term resilience. My work is collaborative, non-judgmental, and focused on empowering clients to create sustainable change at a pace that feels safe and achievable.

Approach: CBT, motivational interviewing-informed, emotion-focused and relapse-prevention strategies.
I help clients explore the emotional and behavioural patterns surrounding gambling, including triggers, urges, beliefs about gambling, stress, and its impact on relationships or finances. Therapy focuses on increasing awareness, strengthening motivation for change, developing alternative coping strategies, and building healthier routines. Specialized addiction support can be incorporated when necessary.

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.
