Contact UsAquarius helped my family
"Aquarius helped my family understand what I was going through mentally and physically. If you need help, you should always consider it as an option, as it really helps you to understand what you are actually doing to yourself and also helps your family understand."

Helped me see the correct path
"Aquarius has helped me see the correct path to the end goal of quitting. I would recommend the services as the system is far from conservative, the advice is tailored exactly to how you'd personally quit. They build onwards from this."

Very good clear presentation.
"There was a good variety of attendees from different backgrounds. The information on dependency & how brain is affected in teenage years was especially good. Very good clear presentation."

What gambling issues can look like
Gambling harm doesn’t always look the same. For some, it means spending more money or time than planned. For others, it might be secretive behaviour, mounting debt, or chasing losses. It can affect your work, sleep, relationships, and emotional wellbeing.
If gambling is affecting your life in ways that don’t feel good, or if you’re worried about someone else, you’re not alone, and support is available.

We believe change is possible when people feel heard, supported, and empowered. Our approach is person-centered, flexible, and grounded in trying to meet your needs. You decide what you want to work on, and we’ll help you get there.
