Gambling
Todd Deutsch
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Gambling can quickly become tied to stress, secrecy, financial pressure, shame, or feeling out of control. I help clients better understand the patterns and triggers behind gambling behavior, strengthen healthier coping strategies, and work toward greater stability, accountability, and control in their lives.

Gambling can become a compulsive habit with a costly consequence. Such can have an impact on the individuals and others. Reducing such compulsive behavior can take time. I have many years of experience in the area.

Gambling
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.
