The National Centre for Gaming Disorders is a multi-disciplinary clinic in the UK that provides treatment for people in England, aged 13 years and over, who have difficulty controlling their video game use and the impact it has on their lives.
Are you having difficulties with gaming? Do you spend too much time and money on games, despite attempts to stop? Are you spending less time with friends or family? Are you a parent or family member with concerns about someone’s gaming? Is it having a negative impact on their studies, family time, going out, other hobbies? Like most activities, gaming can be a great way to relax, destress and socialise. However, for a minority of people excessive gaming can have a negative impact both on them and those around them.
What we offer
The service offers assessment and therapeutic based treatment with CBT sessions focused on controlled levels of gaming and increasing other activities. It can also offer parents and family members educational workshops. The centre uses a holistic approach, led by consultant psychiatrists, psychologists, and family therapists.
