Jonathan Livingstone Therapy & Coaching
Psychologist, MSc, MA, PGCE, GMBPsS
Like all addictions, gambling is a symptom of the problem, and was once regarded as a solution to the problem. The ritual and experience of gambling overwhelms the bad feelings. I will help you to uncover and resolve the causes of the bad feelings that underlie the problem of gambling, so that you regain your freedom of action.

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.

Jason Fletcher Hypnotherapy and Coaching
Hypnotherapist, FNCIP SQHP
Gambling work focuses on understanding the emotional needs or stress responses that sit behind gambling behaviours. I support people in exploring what gambling provides emotionally and how those needs might be met in safer and more stable ways. Sessions are non-judgemental and structured, supporting greater self-awareness and regulation.

Mandy Randall-Gavin MBACP, UKATA
Counsellor/Therapist, BA Hons, Dip TA Prac: UKATA
I've noticed that when clients come to therapy disclosing a gambling problem, they often minimise their negative feelings. They seem to have become hard-wired to seek out the pleasure of the bet. Gamblers often hide their feelings of loss, anxiety and depression with another addiction and say they cannot press the 'off' button. I would work alongside you to discover what the triggers are to actually making the bet. How you are feeling before the bet, what mood you're in, whether you're on your own or with others and where it takes place. This is when you the client and me the counsellor, can draw up an action plan and agree about what you are going to do and how you're going to do it. It is also important to know the size of the debt you've accumulated and identify if any money is owed and to whom.

West Bromwich is a Black Country town in the West Midlands with significant post-industrial deprivation and a diverse population including large South Asian and Caribbean communities, and its mental health landscape closely resembles that of neighbouring Dudley and Walsall—shaped by economic hardship, limited local private therapy provision, and demand for culturally competent care. NHS mental health services are delivered through Black Country Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust, and residents seeking specialist or private therapy typically travel to nearby Birmingham for access to a broader range of practitioners. The town has historically been overlooked in regional mental health planning, and residents in some neighbourhoods face significant barriers to accessing consistent, quality mental health care. Common therapy concerns include depression, anxiety, economic stress, and the identity and belonging challenges faced by communities navigating post-industrial decline alongside cultural transition.
