You have the opportunity to talk about all of the difficulties you have been experiencing as a result of your gambling. All of our Clinical Psychologists understand that this can be a difficult process and we are trained to guide and support you through the first session. All of the information we discuss will help our clinician’s to suggest a 'treatment plan' suitable for each persons’ needs.
