Dr George Booty. The PsychoTRAUMA Clinic (Convergence College of Psychotherapy)
Registered Psychotherapist, Dr, DPsych, MA Couns, MA Psych, PG Dip Spvn
The gamblers are often the victims of abuse or neglect and this addiction like any other is where the person tries to sublimate their personal needs to cope with life in general. We have ways to help that match the problem extent. Trauma can be at the root of it all, but a sense of instant gratification and the need (habit) for the adrenaline rush are all factors to be looked at.

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.

The City of Westminster is the governmental and cultural heart of London, taking in Parliament, Whitehall, the West End, and residential districts from Pimlico to Maida Vale, with an enormous daytime workforce alongside its residents. The mental health landscape spans high-pressure government, legal, and creative careers, the loneliness that dense central-city living can bring, and stark inequality between affluent squares and social housing estates. Westminster residents sit at the centre of the UK's largest therapy market, with Central and North West London NHS Foundation Trust providing public services and an unmatched concentration of private practitioners, including the Harley Street area within the borough itself.
