International
Gambling Therapy
A global source of practical and emotional support for people affected by problem gambling, with multilingual resources.
Ask about support for your trading-related concerns and suitable local referrals.
A place to pause
You are not
your account balance.
You do not need to prove that things are “bad enough” to ask for support. Start with one small, practical step.
Right now is a good time to stop and think
You don’t have to fix
everything today.
Our suggestions are not treatment, and this site cannot monitor your safety. A support professional can help you work out what fits your situation. Gambling-harm services may be a useful starting point for compulsive trading; ask whether they can help or refer you.
Need urgent help?
If you or someone else is in immediate danger, contact local emergency services now. If you may harm yourself or cannot stay safe, seek urgent crisis support and reach out to someone you trust.

A little space for honesty
Does any of this feel familiar?
A private reflection—not a scored test, diagnosis or validated clinical assessment.
Check anything that resonates.
Answers stay in this page’s memory. They are never sent or saved, and there is no “pass” or “fail”.
You can ask for support whether or not you tick a box. There is no minimum loss required.

One minute. No market.
Put a little distance
between urge and action.
01:00
Set the phone down if you can. Notice the room around you. Let this minute be free of decisions.
A simple optional pause—not a treatment or a promise that an urge will disappear.
Your next 24 hours
A small plan beats
a desperate comeback.
01 / Create some spacePause new speculative activity.Consider muting promotional alerts and stepping away from trading feeds. Deleting an app does not close positions.
02 / Protect the essentialsKeep bills and basic needs in view.Do not assume a bank gambling block covers trading. Ask the provider what restrictions are possible.
03 / Tell one safe personYou do not need the perfect words.“Trading is becoming hard to control, and I could use some help making a plan.”
Have open positions or money on margin? A pause does not remove existing risk or payment obligations. Contact your provider or an appropriately qualified adviser about managing those obligations. This site cannot tell you what to buy, sell or close.

For someone you care about
Lead with care.
Leave room to listen.
You can offer help without agreeing with the behavior or taking responsibility for someone else’s trades.
Read the conversation guide“I care about you. I’m not here to judge you or solve this with another trade. Could we take a step back and talk about what you need?”
