How can counselling help with problem gambling?

Counselling offers a safe and confidential space to explore problems. It can help you with stuck patterns of behaviour, past issues, low self-esteem, anxiety and depression. Identify choices for change and get support during the process of change.

Counselling can help you cut down or stop gambling by examining urges to gamble, strategies for avoiding temptation and ideas for managing your money. Understand the problem and gradually master it so that you can lead a more fulfilling lifestyle, feel better about yourself, share better relationships, and enjoy financial stability.

Let Breakeven help

We understand that it's not always easy to take the first step, so let's make it as easy as possible. To begin the process, all you need to do is get in touch.

We offer you an initial assessment appointment with one of our experienced counsellors. Like the rest of our service, this is free.

Arrange an appointment - it costs nothing

At your assessment we will discuss your situation with you and suggest ways in which you might begin to address your problem. We can then offer you a series of counselling sessions which can be arranged for a regular time and location to suit you.
