Counselling Services
Counselling is a two-part process and focuses on both helping people cut back or stop gambling and helping people cope with the problems that gambling has caused.
The GTC has three general aims:
- To provide a range of appropriate treatment approaches to help excessive gamblers cut back or stop gambling.
- To provide support for individuals in addressing the problems associated with excessive gambling.
- To evaluate the extent to which individuals are helped by the counselling they receive.
We provide:
- Clinical assessment and referral
- Evidence-based treatment
- Supportive counselling
- Counselling for family members and friends
Effectiveness of treatment is evaluated at the commencement and cessation of treatment, as well as 6, 12 and 24 months after completion of treatment.
