Counselling

Speaking to a gambling counsellor is another way for you to get support whether you are concerned about your gambling or another’s.

People can have many reasons to talk to a gambling counsellor:

to feel better, happier, healthier.

to explore and manage urges.

to look at what is important in their lives and reassess their priorities.

to improve or repair a relationship.

We support people to figure out their goals and ways to achieve them. We provide a range of helpful resources and information, including face-to-face counselling, telephone counselling, online support, self-help workbooks and education material, support groups, self-exclusion and external referrals.

At ACT Gambling Support Service we provide free and confidential resources for you or someone you know affected by gambling harm

“Help from the ACT Gambling Support Service was incredibly helpful. It was nice to know there was no cap and I could come as long as I need to as I think that impacts. Seeing someone in the first place and being told you can only come three times doesn’t help. The freedom and flexibility to see someone as long as I needed was fantastic”.

Grace

“The ACT Gambling Support Service team helped with my addiction a great deal. I have not gambled for over a year already. I feel great about that. It has changed my life a lot. The counsellor was a great support and help to me. Thank you so much”.
