Therapeutic counselling
The Salvation Army’s Gambling Support offers free therapeutic counselling for anyone impacted by gambling harm.
We believe everyone deserves a safe, supportive space to explore their emotions, tackle challenges, and find practical solutions. Our therapeutic counsellors are here to guide you toward personal growth and well-being.
How Can a Therapeutic Counsellor Help?
Our counsellors are trained professionals who support individuals, couples, families, and groups with emotional, psychological, and social challenges. Here’s how we can help:
- Work with you to set and achieve personal goals—whether they’re about relationships, mental health, or personal growth.
- Provide a non-judgmental, confidential, and supportive space to talk things through.
- Use tailored, evidence-based approaches like cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT), solution-focused therapy, or mindfulness practices.
- Help you understand your emotions, behaviours, and thought patterns to develop healthier coping strategies.
- Identify factors contributing to gambling and help you manage triggers while building resilience.
- Guide you through financial challenges, including understanding the risks of options like bankruptcy or early access to super, and explore safer alternatives.
- Connect you to additional services, such as financial counsellors, psychiatrists or community programs, if needed.
