Rob McClintock Counselling
Licensed Mental Health Counsellor, Dip Counselling ACA, Clinical Hypnotherapist ASCH,
Gambling addiction can destroy relationships, finances, and self-worth, trapping you in a cycle of shame, lies, and the desperate hope that the next bet will fix everything. The secrecy and isolation make it even harder to break free. As someone who understands addiction intimately, I know that willpower alone isn't enough to overcome the compulsive urges that drive gambling behaviour. My approach to gambling addiction uses Subconscious Dynamics™ to address the underlying emotional triggers, unresolved trauma, and psychological patterns that fuel the need to gamble. We work to rewire the neural pathways that create the rush and escapism gambling provides, replacing them with healthier coping mechanisms and genuine fulfilment. This holistic, medication-free method helps you reclaim control over your life and rebuild the trust and stability that gambling has taken away.

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.

Rita El Alaoui
Hypnotherapist, Hypnotherapy diploma, reiki master diploma.
I help the subconscious realize that gambling was being used as an escape, a stress release, or a search for a "high"and guide it toward healthy, natural alternatives using Ericksonian tools like fast-rewinding memories of winning or installing physical calming anchors to disrupt the automatic "chasing losses" loop so cravings lose their power.
