Roderic Burks - Integrative Mental Health
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, MS, MS HSc, MA, LMHC, LPC
Gambling can become a way to cope with stress, emotional pain, or unmet needs. I help clients explore the underlying patterns and emotions driving this behavior, rather than focusing only on the habit itself. Together, we build healthier coping strategies, self-awareness, and a more balanced, purposeful life.

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.

Marc Donegan, Psychotherapist
Registered Psychotherapist, Psychodynamic Analysis & Transactional Analysis, PACFA, BACP, ITTA, EATA, UKATA
Compulsive gambling usually serves a psychological function, whether that’s escape, control, or managing underlying anxiety or stress. I work with clients to understand what the behaviour is doing for them and build sustainable alternatives, alongside addressing any financial or relational impact where relevant.
