Counselling

We’re here to help. We offer free, confidential counselling to anyone experience gambling harm.

Our counsellors are qualified, experienced professionals who are culturally trained, non-judgemental, and on your side.

You may be experiencing impacts of your own gambling. Or, you may be experiencing impacts of someone else’s gambling – for example, your partner, your parent, your child, your sibling, a friend, or any other family member or loved one. With the right support, things can get better.

It’s never too late or too early to speak with a counsellor. No situation is too complex. It’s free and confidential.

Practical, exceptional counselling. Getting so much out of it. I feel I have the tools to achieve my goals.

Before accessing help though the Gambling Help Service, gambling had taken over my life. I was very low and didn’t see friends and family. My counsellor has helped me so much. I feel so positive about everything that I want to tell everyone to do what I have done.

I want to express my extreme gratitude to my GHS counsellor. We had an amazing first interaction; she was helpful, kind, and genuine. I felt like she really cared about me and my wellbeing, which helped me feel more comfortable to talk about what was happening.

My counsellor saved my life and taught me resilience and hope. Nothing can repay her for the life skills she has taught me.
