hi my husband has had a serious gambling addiction for quite some years. he has reached out for help a couple of times online and spoke to someone online but it has never helped at all. he asked me today how he can get face to face help. i have no idea if i am honest, would the gp be able to refer him for some help? i really want to help but i have no idea what advice to give him.
Yes. the GP can refer him for counselling.
Yes, Gamcare is also a route to counselling, their helpline number or online chat services are the palce to start to source that.
