Problem Gambling, technology use and other behavioural addictions can feel like invisible addictions - money, phones, social media, the internet are all around us and can feel impossible to navigate or manage on our own.

Aria Fraser
Hypnotherapist, Certified Rapid Transformational Therapist
Gambling habits and addictions are usually not really about getting money, but the thrill and the rush of feel-good chemicals the brain makes when the person scores a win. Gambling is usually driven by a deep need to feel enough or feel alive, and to fill an emptiness that arises from not feeling enough or having enough. The origin is often from a belief that was unknowingly formed early in life that the person wasn't good enough somehow, and this drives the behavior to fill that need. Rapid Transformational Therapy helps to find the root cause of the beliefs, then interrupt and release them, while creating new pathways in the brain that create effective change away from the unwanted behavior. Then, beneficial beliefs and visualizations are 'installed' at the subconscious level to replace them, along with ongoing support after the session.

Marjan Emami
Counsellor/Therapist, MD, RTC #3608, MPCC-Provisional #4797, ACTA #3122
If and when gambling becomes problematic, it is nearly always a coping mechanism for deeper emotional struggles. Healing involves uncovering the underlying roots, cultivating supportive connections, and approaching oneself with patience and compassion instead of judgment.

Sanofer Ansari
Licensed Mental Health Counsellor, MACP
Approach: CBT, motivational interviewing-informed, emotion-focused and relapse-prevention strategies.
I help clients explore the emotional and behavioural patterns surrounding gambling, including triggers, urges, beliefs about gambling, stress, and its impact on relationships or finances. Therapy focuses on increasing awareness, strengthening motivation for change, developing alternative coping strategies, and building healthier routines. Specialized addiction support can be incorporated when necessary.
