NHS Northern Gambling Service

About the Service

The Northern Gambling Service give compassionate support, along with understanding and a determination to make life better as quickly as possible.

They specialise in delivering support and treatment for gambling-related harms, as well as taking a holistic approach which may mean incorporating co-occurring needs related to debt, mental health, neurodivergence, relationships, or criminal justice.

We cover the north of England, from Cheshire to Cumbria in the West, and from South Yorkshire to Northumberland in the east. We have clinics in Liverpool, Manchester, Preston, Leeds, Sheffield, and Newcastle for face to face sessions. We also offer remote video consultations to ensure that wherever you are you can receive our full offer, and you do not need to travel.

They use evidence-based cognitive-behavioural therapy on a one to one and/or group format. This could be 8-12 weekly sessions.

This can be done online using virtual video sessions, or face to face at one of our clinics. If it is appropriate, we also encourage loved one(s) to be part of your recovery journey and to join a couple of sessions, as mobilising support tends to lead to better outcomes. You also can meet others in a similar situation to inspire each other and learn from each other, as well as having access to people in stable recovery who act as important role models and guides.
