Gambling Addiction Therapy

Gambling, especially online gambling, is one of the fastest growing behavioural addictions. A recent report by the Gambling Commission estimated that around 430,000 people in Britain suffer from a serious gambling habit, affecting thousands more close family members.

Gambling addiction is often referred to as the ‘secret behavioural addiction’ because it is often unacknowledged and it can easily be kept hidden from family and friends, whether gambling in a large Manchester casino, a betting shop on the high street or online with an app downloaded onto a smart phone.

Internet gambling, makes online poker, horse racing, roulette, or any number of gambling activities available 24/7. However the consequences of long term addiction can be life changing for you and your family when you quite literally go broke.

Gambling Addiction Treatment

We offer several forms of treatment and therapy for problem gambling. However, the first step is to try and understand how and why the addiction developed, what other stresses or difficulties you may be trying to avoid, and how to break the addiction cycle.

Our Therapists and Counsellors provide gambling addiction therapy in a discreet, safe environment either in groups or on an individual basis which aims to alleviate the destructive effects of problem gambling.

What is Gambling Addiction?

Are you a problem gambler?

Typically, someone with a gambling addiction may find that even when they win large sums of money, they will use their winnings to fund more bets until they eventually run out of money.

Compulsive gambling or gambling addiction can be an impulse control disorder where individuals have little control over their addiction, despite the risk of devastating consequences.
