Gambling addiction therapy
Therapy for the one nobody can see
Gambling leaves no smell on your breath and nothing for anyone to notice across a desk. That is precisely what allows it to reach a scale that would be impossible to hide in almost any other form. Most people who contact Stuart have already installed the blocks, closed the accounts and promised themselves it was the last time — more than once.
Gambling addiction therapy here works on the loop rather than the access. Self-exclusion removes the opportunity but leaves the compulsion intact, which is why it so often holds until it suddenly does not. Stuart uses talking therapy alongside behavioural tools, EMDR and PSY-Tap to address the anticipation and chasing that drive the behaviour.
Sessions are private and one-to-one at 1 Harley Street or online. If debt or family fallout is part of the picture, that gets talked about too.
How it works
How gambling addiction therapy works
Free Consultation Call
We start with a free 30-minute phone call to understand what is driving your gambling and confirm whether this approach is the right fit for you. You do not need to have a figure ready.
Your Session
Once we have confirmed it is the right fit, you book your first session at a time that works for you — at 1 Harley Street or online. Sessions are entirely one-to-one. Stuart works through the gambling addiction therapy process with you, addressing the patterns behind the betting.
Start Putting the Betting Behind You
Across your sessions the urge tends to lose the urgency that made it feel non-negotiable, and the triggers — payday, a match, a bad day — stop carrying the same pull. Ongoing support and aftercare are included, along with support for family.

Client stories
What clients say
I began working with Stuart during a time when my impulse control felt overwhelming and, at times, unmanageable. Having tried several other therapists first, it was clear that Stuart's approach was both thoughtful and tailored—grounded in traditional therapeutic techniques but enhanced with hypnotherapy in a way that felt natural rather than experimental. What stood out most was his ability to create a space that felt safe without being passive. He didn't just listen; he helped me understand the underlying patterns driving my behaviour. Over time, I noticed real, measurable changes—not just in my behaviour, but in how I processed urges and emotions. This wasn't a quick fix, and Stuart never pretended it would be. But his consistency, skill, and ability to blend different methods made a lasting difference. I now feel far more in control of my decisions. I would strongly recommend Stuart to anyone struggling with impulse-related challenges, especially if you're open to a more integrative approach that goes beyond standard talk therapy.
— Tom
I decided I needed to seek help after I accepted that I had a problem with gambling. I went through all the usual measures like banning myself online but I always managed to find a way or a reason to gamble. I had heard of hypnotherapy and thought this might be the best approach. The money I invested has saved me thousands. I have learnt that it is never too late to make a positive change and couldn't be happier with my life. I could not recommend and thank Stuart enough — he has genuinely transformed my life!
— Harry
It's taken me a while to be able to summarise how much Stuart has helped me! I have suffered with Bulimia for the last 16 years — over half of my life. During this time I've had various different counselling and therapy; you name it and I've probably tried it. Stuart is the first healthcare professional I've had that truly understood my struggles. His practical approach was revolutionary to me. I've made more progress in the last 6 months than I've done in 16 years. He's helped me unpick beliefs I've carried my whole life. There was never any pressure. It sounds cheesy but with his support I've managed to change my life! I'd urge anyone thinking about it to reach out to Stuart. He's the very best and I can't thank him enough!
— Amy
I was having weekly sessions with Stuart for 5 months. I have suffered with a substance addiction for many years and was in a pretty low place when I found Stuart. My using was getting out of hand and I knew I needed professional help. The weekly sessions have helped me tremendously — I now feel like I have a toolkit for when things get tough. Stuart has taught me a new way of thinking and dealing with life. I found the sessions to be very insightful. Stuart is very relatable and very easy to talk to. I cannot recommend him enough. Thank you again for all your support.

Life after
Life when the account balance is not the first thing you check
Clients describe the quiet first. The constant background calculation of what is owed, what is left and what could be recovered simply stops running.
- Watching a match for the match
- Payday arriving without a plan already forming
- Your phone notifications being boring again
- Telling your partner the truth about the finances
- Sleeping instead of running the numbers at 2am
- Money still there on the 28th
Questions
Common questions about gambling addiction therapy
I have already self-excluded everywhere. Why is it still a problem?
Because self-exclusion removes access, not the compulsion. That is exactly the gap gambling addiction therapy is designed to close — Stuart works on the anticipation and chasing that remain live underneath the blocks, which is why blocks alone tend to hold only until they are circumvented.
Does it matter what I gamble on?
Not greatly. Sports, casino, trading apps and slots differ on the surface but run the same reward loop underneath. Gambling addiction therapy here targets that loop, so the format you use matters less than the pattern it has established.
How is this different from a support group?
Gambling addiction therapy here is one-to-one and non-12-step. There is no group, no sharing with strangers and no requirement to identify yourself as anything. The work uses talking therapy with behavioural tools, EMDR and PSY-Tap, tailored to your specific pattern.
How many sessions will this take?
It varies with how long the gambling has been established and what sits underneath it, so Stuart gives you a realistic picture on the free call. Gambling addiction therapy runs as a programme across several sessions, with aftercare included.
I am already in debt. How can I justify the cost?
It is a fair question, and Stuart will not dodge it. The honest framing is that the programme costs a fraction of what an unaddressed pattern typically takes in a further year. The fee covers the whole engagement — consultation, the gambling addiction therapy programme, and aftercare.
