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.

Marc Donegan, Psychotherapist
Registered Psychotherapist, Psychodynamic Analysis & Transactional Analysis, PACFA, BACP, ITTA, EATA, UKATA
Compulsive gambling usually serves a psychological function, whether that’s escape, control, or managing underlying anxiety or stress. I work with clients to understand what the behaviour is doing for them and build sustainable alternatives, alongside addressing any financial or relational impact where relevant.

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.
