Hypnotherapy For Gambling, harley street
Quit Gambling In One Session
Gambling addiction is the only addiction that contains the element of hope in it. The hope is that a big win could be just around the corner, making gambling addiction a uniquely challenging addiction to overcome. Its destructive and complex behaviour can make it hard to break this habit. However, with the therapeutic tool of hypnotherapy for gambling, you can work on your deep-seated thoughts, beliefs, and rituals to break the habit.
Stop gambling hypnotherapy can be a powerful technique to overcome the triggers that push you into gambling behaviour. As a reputed hypnotherapist in London, I can help you quit gambling through hypnosis.
Types of Gambling and Gambling Addiction
Problem gambling reportedly affects over 593,000 people in the UK. Those helplessly addicted to gambling continue to partake in gambling activities despite suffering negative consequences.
Generally, gambling is classified into two types:
Chance Based
Chance-based gambling involves placing bets on situations that have results purely based on chance. Some of these activities include lotteries, bingo, roulette, and scratchcards.
Skill Based
Skill-based gambling requires gamblers to study the odds and practice skills to forecast results. Racing (horse, greyhound, etc.), sporting events, poker and blackjack are the common skill-based gambling activities.
The tendency to gamble has evolved over the years, with gambling being classified as a behavioural disorder, classifying the gambler into six types.
Professional Gamblers
These individuals see gambling as a profession and will invest time and effort in analysing statistics and the odds of winning bets. They usually participate in lengthy, high-stakes games like poker tournaments.
Anti-Social Gamblers
Anti-social gamblers are often lured to the illegal aspect of gambling and may have a background of anti-social behaviour or crime. Those with antisocial personality disorder are increasingly vulnerable to gambling tendencies.
Casual Social Gamblers
Although they are at low risk of developing addictive tendencies and usually see gambling as a hobby or a pastime and are open about this habit.
Serious Social Gamblers
Serious social gamblers make gambling their chief pastime while maintaining other aspects of their life.
Relief and Escape Gamblers
As the name suggests, escape gamblers use gambling as a coping mechanism and a way to deal with difficult emotions. They may be suffering from an underlying condition such as depression, anxiety, isolation or have a history of trauma.
Compulsive Gamblers
Compulsive gamblers tend to suffer from pathological gambling, a deeper and more psychological issue. Often suffering from some form of mental health or substance abuse problems, they can continue to gamble despite facing resistance from family and friends and dire financial consequences.
How Hypnotherapy To Stop Gambling Works
Addiction is when an individual repeatedly engages in a particular behaviour despite it causing harm to themselves and those around them.
Addiction hypnotherapy works by using hypnosis as a tool to address key factors that will arise when you try to stop your addiction, like gambling. By providing support to the individual through each of these factors, hypnotherapy can be an instrumental treatment for gambling.
My hypnosis for gambling sessions will guide you into a relaxed state, making your mind more receptive to suggestions that encourage you to stop gambling.
How Effective is Gambling Hypnotherapy?
Our subconscious mind is incredibly powerful. During a gambling hypnotherapy session, the therapist guides the individual into deep relaxation. Hypnosis works on the subconscious mind rather than the conscious mind by altering patterns and automatic responses that you may not be aware of in your conscious thought. Hypnosis for gambling can then be used to create change at a more profound level, enabling gamblers to regain control of their lives.
Common Challenges Dr Kamal Addresses in Stop Gambling Hypnotherapy
Intense Cravings
When you stop playing, you will have urges to continue. Hypnotherapy for gambling will give you coping techniques to help you resist the urges.
Gambling as Stress-Relief
If you’re a social gambler, you gamble to relieve yourself from the day’s stresses. Hypnotherapy works as a treatment for gambling by altering your stress responses on a subconscious level, helping you build better and healthier coping mechanisms to manage stress, such as taking a short walk or doing some relaxation techniques.
Breaking Routines and Rituals
Gambling can quickly become part of people’s daily routines. Moreover, online gambling makes it easy to access an entire world at your fingertips and easier to develop as a habit. Gambling hypnotherapy can help you break down these automatic routines and habits and replace them with healthier ones.
Habitual Addiction Linked to Specific Times/Activities
From having a drink at the pub and playing slot machines to online poker on your phone during your lunch break, behavioural addictions like gambling are often linked to certain activities, and this association fuels the addiction. Quit gambling hypnotherapy can break down these associations and separate the activities.
Relapse after Previous Attempts to Quit
If you have previously tried to stop gambling and failed, you may think there’s no point in trying to quit. Quit gambling hypnosis can help to reframe these negative thoughts and instil a strong sense of self-belief which will help you overcome your addiction.
Coping with Gambling Withdrawal Symptoms
With gambling being a behavioural issue, people think gambling doesn’t have any withdrawal symptoms, unlike smoking, drinking, or drugs. However, the physical symptoms are part of the addiction process, so gambling withdrawal can give rise to both physical and psychological symptoms. My quit gambling hypnosis can help you cope with withdrawal.
Automatic, Unconscious Triggers
Gambling addiction can have deep-rooted triggers that you may not even be aware of. In my hypnotherapy for gambling sessions, I can help to access these triggers, reduce their strength and alter them, creating healthier and less destructive responses to the triggers.
Addiction to Gambling and Emotional Factors
Often the causes of addiction are complex, from childhood trauma to negative self-belief. Gambling hypnotherapy sessions with me address the root of these problems and break the hold on your addiction.

Testimonials
I am a 60+ year old construction worker who has been smoking almost 50 years and was finding myself to be breathless in regular tasks. I finally decided I wanted to quit for good (I have attempted acupuncture, vaping, nicotine patches etc.) and I decided to Google other ways to stop smoking. I came across Kamal in Harley Street who was flexible with times and not too far from where I live. At the time, I thought the cost (£390) was steep but it is quite possibly the best money I have ever spent. I haven’t thought about or touched a cigarette since my session and it has been over 2 months. I have calculated that it saves me £80 per week so I have technically paid it off after week 5! I cannot recommend Kamal highly enough, I feel better and healthier every day – thank you! To anybody on the fence or considering this, don’t hesitate! Costly at the time but you cannot argue with the results.
