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.

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.

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.

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.

Aberdeen's identity is defined by its role as the center of the North Sea oil and gas industry — a boom-and-bust economy that has created recurring cycles of prosperity and anxiety, and where therapists frequently address the occupational and psychological effects of energy sector uncertainty, offshore work stress, and the identity challenges of an industry in energy transition. The city has two major universities — the University of Aberdeen and Robert Gordon University — generating significant student mental health demand and clinical training programs that feed into the local therapy community. NHS Grampian provides public mental health services alongside a private therapy community. Aberdeen's geographical isolation at the northeast tip of Scotland, combined with the psychological effects of long, dark winters, means seasonal affective disorder and mood management are recurring clinical priorities.
