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.

Swansea is Wales's second city and a coastal university town — home to Swansea University and University of Wales Trinity Saint David — generating significant student mental health demand and academic training pipelines that feed into the local therapy community. The city has a distinct Welsh identity, and a meaningful number of residents prefer Welsh-language therapy, particularly for emotionally complex work best expressed in their first language. Swansea Bay University Health Board provides NHS mental health services, with a private practice community concentrated in Sketty, Uplands, and the Marina. Swansea's post-industrial character — shaped by the decline of its copper smelting and coal industries — means therapists frequently work with intergenerational economic stress and community resilience themes.
