Gaming addiction (adults)

Signs of gaming addiction

• Playing much longer than planned, most days
• Irritability when you can't play
• Falling behind at work or study
• Spending money you can't afford in games

If you can't stop gaming

Set clear rules before you start a session, not during it.

• Fixed playing windows and an end alarm
• Remove saved payment details
• Fill evenings with other social activity
• Tell someone you trust about your goal

How counselling helps

We look at what gaming gives you — escape, achievement, connection — and find other ways to meet those needs.
