Hypnotherapy For Gambling
Quit Gambling In One Session
I only see clients for as long as I need to, rarely do I need to see anyone longer than 2 to 3 sessions when breaking habitual patterns. Gambling addiction hypnotherapy regularly succeeds in a single session!

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.
Gambling is a destructive and complex addiction, which can be hard to break. However, using the therapeutic tool of hypnotherapy can work on an individual’s deep-seated thoughts, beliefs, and rituals to break the habit. Gambling addiction is the only addiction that contains the element of hope in it. The hope that that big win could be just around the corner, and it is this that makes gambling addiction a uniquely challenging addiction.
How Effective Is Hypnotherapy To Stop Gambling
Hypnotherapy works by addressing key factors that will arise when we try to stop gambling. By providing support to the individual through each of these factors, hypnotherapy can be an instrumental treatment in stopping gambling.
- The intense cravings to gamble, as well as the routine-driven behaviours.
Psychological dependence on gambling as a stress-relief mechanism.
Working with the routine and rituals associated with gambling.
Processing the withdrawal symptoms like irritability and anxiety.
Overcoming mental barriers to quitting.
Gambling as a social habit or to fit in with peers.
Automatic, unconscious gambling triggers, like having a drink or going online.
Gambling addiction is often compounded by emotional or psychological factors.
Previous unsuccessful attempts can discourage you from trying again.
The hypnotherapy session will guide you into a relaxed state, making your mind more receptive to suggestions that encourage you to stop gambling.
What to Expect From 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 can then be used to create change at a more profound level enabling gamblers to regain control of their lives.
Intense Cravings
When you stop playing, you will have urges to do so. Hypnotherapy for gambling will give you coping techniques to help you resist the urges.
Gambling as Stress-Relief
It takes you away from the problem of your day. It offers an escape into a world full of highs and lows. Gambler can use this mechanism for stress relief. Hypnotherapy works by altering your stress responses and works on the subconscious to build better and healthier coping mechanisms, such as taking a short walk or doing some relaxation techniques.
Breaking Routines and Rituals
Gambling can become part of people’s daily routine and can be hard to spot from the outside. Online gambling gives instant access to an entire world at your fingertips, which can easily become part of your daily routine. Hypnotherapy can work with the subconscious mind to break down automatic routines and replace them with healthier ones.
Coping with Gambling Withdrawal Symptoms
Many people think gambling withdrawal doesn’t have a physical element, as unlike smoking, drinking, or drugs, you aren’t physically removing anything from your body. However, the physical symptoms are part of the addiction process, so gambling withdrawal can give rise to both physical and psychological symptoms.
Automatic, Unconscious Triggers
Gambling addiction can have deep-rooted triggers, that you may not even be aware of. Hypnotherapy can help to access these triggers, and then work with them to alter them, creating healthier, and less destructive responses to the triggers, as well as reducing the strength of the trigger.
Addiction to Gambling and Emotional Factors
People can suffer from addiction for various complex reasons. Often the roots of addiction are buried deeply, from childhood trauma to negative self-belief. By using hypnotherapy to address these deep-seated issues we can break the hold of our addiction.
Habitual Addiction Linked to Specific Times/Activities
Having a drink at the pub and playing the slot machines. Online poker on your phone during your lunch break. Addiction can often link to certain activities, so the association fuels the addiction. Hypnotherapy can break down these associations and separate the activities so that you don’t automatically respond in the same habitual way.
Relapse after Previous Attempts to Quit
If you have previously tried to stop gambling and failed, this may have reinforced your beliefs about yourself, and your addiction. You may believe you can’t stop, so there is no point in trying. Hypnotherapy can help to reframe these negative thoughts and instill a strong sense of self-belief which will help you to work with your addiction.
