The opportunity is everywhere
A phone can provide access in seconds, making it difficult to create the distance that support strategies often rely on.
Private, doctor-led assessment and structured support from home, without judgement.
Confidential support from home
Stopping was never the hard part. Staying stopped is.
Many people reach this point after deleting the apps, self-excluding and promising themselves it will not happen again. Then an urge arrives and the promise does not hold.
That is not a lack of willpower. Gambling can train the brain's reward system into a powerful learned loop. Our programme combines private clinical assessment, structured support and one named coach who stays with you throughout.

Why gambling can be different
The harm can stay hidden while the urge remains active
Blocking tools and self-exclusion remove access. They are valuable protections, but they do not always change the learned anticipation that drives the next urge.
The problem may be invisible
There may be no outward sign until money, relationships, sleep or work have already been affected.
Anticipation becomes the reward
The build-up, near-miss and possibility of winning can reinforce the loop even when the overall experience is harmful.
Stopping may not quieten the urge
Someone can stay away for weeks or months while the underlying response remains ready to reactivate under stress or opportunity.
What the programme includes
One connected plan, not a collection of appointments
Clinical decisions, practical strategies and coaching are brought together so that you are not left to interpret the process alone.
Private doctor consultation
A UK-registered clinician reviews your gambling pattern, health, medicines, sleep, mood and any overlap with alcohol use.
Structured milestones
A clear programme with practical weekly steps, progress reviews and adjustments when something is not working.
Named coach support
One consistent point of contact for one-to-one support by phone, video and email throughout the programme.
Clinical oversight
Suitability, safety, response and any concerns are reviewed by the clinical team rather than left to guesswork.
Support for family conversations
Guidance can help you decide what to share and how to rebuild practical trust, while respecting your confidentiality.
A plan beyond the programme

Clinical options
Medication may form one part of the programme
After a full assessment, a doctor may consider naltrexone as an off-label option for gambling disorder when it is clinically appropriate. It acts on opioid receptors involved in reward and anticipation, with the aim of reducing the intensity of urges so that practical change becomes more manageable.
Available evidence suggests this option may reduce urges and gambling behaviour for some people; response and durability vary. Medication is not offered on its own and no outcome is guaranteed.
What off-label means
Off-label prescribing means a licensed medicine is used for a condition outside the wording of its marketing authorisation. It is a recognised part of UK clinical practice, but it requires an individual decision by a qualified prescriber.
- The clinician explains the evidence, uncertainties and alternatives.
- Medical history, current medicines and safety checks are reviewed.
- You can ask questions and choose not to proceed.
- No outcome is promised or guaranteed.

Common questions
Private gambling support FAQs
Is the programme confidential?
Yes. Appointments and support are private. We do not contact your GP, employer or family without permission, except where a clinician has a legal safeguarding duty.
Does everyone receive medication?
No. A clinician decides whether any medication is appropriate after reviewing your health, medicines, circumstances and the available evidence. Coaching and practical support remain central to the programme.
Can I use the programme if I have already self-excluded?
Yes. Self-exclusion and blocking tools are valuable protections and can remain in place. The programme is intended to work alongside practical safeguards, not replace them.
Is free help available?
Yes. NHS gambling services and the National Gambling Support Network provide free options. The National Gambling Helpline is available 24 hours a day on 0808 8020 133.
