Online Treatment
I’m not in the UK, can I access this service?
Our service is only funded to provide treatment to those living in England, Scotland and Wales. If you are outside of the UK, please access Gambling Therapy – a free, multi-lingual online service, via www.gamblingtherapy.org/
You can also find links to other useful services here.
As well as face-to-face and telephone treatment, GamCare offers online treatment sessions via webcam (currently through software called Zoom – check for technical requirements).
You will have an initial assessment with a GamCare practitioner to discuss what type of treatment may work best for you, and ask any questions you might have, then you will be given a personalised plan.
GamCare can provide online treatment for anyone adversely affected by gambling over the age of 16 in England, Scotland and Wales.
For gamblers
GamCare’s group Gambling Recovery Course runs online, which gives you regular input from your practitioner as well as support from others with similar experiences. From our experience, we believe that connecting with others who have similar experiences is really beneficial to your recovery.
There may be occasions when we feel you would benefit from individual online sessions. This can be discussed with one of our practitioners at your initial assessment.
For friends and family
If you are affected by a friend or family member’s gambling, we can offer one-to-one online support. Speaking to a GamCare practitioner can help you to understand the impact that gambling has on your life and to focus on your own needs. Please get in touch to find out how we can help you.
