In this episode of The Invisible Addiction podcast I speak with Matt Gaskell, the UK's top gambling addiction psychologist.  

Matt is the Clinical Lead & Consultant Psychologist for The NHS Northern Gambling Service, overseeing clinics in Manchester, Leeds, and Sunderland. (The only NHS clinics available outside London). They provide specialist addiction therapy and peer led recovery to people with gambling addiction and are mental health specialists.  

I went into the conversation with 3 main themes:  

How can we define a gambling addiction?  

How can we make gambling safer in the future?  

What help do the NHS clinics provide?  

Matt is a fantastic human being, doing amazing things for so many people affected by gambling. You can follow him on Twitter @MGaskell12 and follow the NHS Northern Gambling Service @NHS_NGS. 👍  

Matt talks openly about the treatment the clinics provide and shares his thoughts on the landscape of the gambling industry. 

It was an honour talking to him and I'm hugely excited for you to hear his expert thoughts and opinions.  

(When it came to finding quotes to use for social media, I could've quoted the whole podcast, there is that much value!).  

Cheers guys,  

Alex
