- The National Council on Problem Gambling (NCPG) estimates that although approximately 5 million Americans meet the criteria for compulsive gambling, only around 8 percent of these individuals will ever seek help for their problem. Yet according to the NCPG, gambling addiction is very treatable once it has been identified.
Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy (CBT) Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) is a best practice in problem gambling treatment. 1,2,3 CBT can teach people to identify, question, and change their thoughts and behaviours related to gambling, and respond to problem behaviours in a more productive way. As an accredited member of the National Counselling Society I adhere to its ethical framework. I have extensive experience of working with Secondary age students in school. Most of my therapy work has been with young people aged 11-25 years old on a one to one basis, including some work with clients with autistic traits.
