Your GamCare practitioner can help you understand your relationship with gambling, and will also help you develop strategies to deal with difficult situations in ways which don’t rely on gambling. This treatment is available face-to-face, over the phone and online.
GamCare also provides advice and treatment for family members and friends who are affected by a loved one’s gambling behaviour, even if the gambler does not wish to seek support yet.

GameChange Course
We also offer an online course called GameChange, which aims to fit into your busy life. The course is informed by Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), an effective treatment that has been shown to change negative thought patterns and improve how you feel. Before you can access these modules you will need to complete a brief screening process. Please note these modules are only available in Great Britain.
Our service is confidential, accredited by the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and abides by their Ethical Framework for the Counselling Professions. Please note our service is not provided by the NHS.
