He is sharing his own experience to raise awareness.
A Westmeath psychotherapist is warning of the dangers of gambling addiction, by sharing his own experience with it.
Daniel Coulter was first exposed to betting as a teenager when he placed and won his first one.
Online websites became a catalyst for his addiction throughout his 20s, with him resorting to using his college income for bets.
He eventually went into treatment to overcome it, studied psychotherapy and opened his own business, Serenity Therapy, last year in Moate.
Mr Coulter says he credits his family for helping him through recovery:
