About Us
Supporting Change. Building Hope.
The South East Gambling Addiction Support Service (SEGAS) is
a new initiative developed by the Cornmarket Project, a part of Wexford Local
Development. The Cornmarket Project is a trusted community-based organisation
with a long-standing commitment to supporting individuals through recovery,
reintegration, and personal development. Our new service extends this mission
by offering dedicated, evidence-based support to individuals affected by
gambling and gaming addiction across the South East region of Ireland.
Our Approach
We understand that gambling and gaming addiction can have a profound impact on individuals, families, and communities. That's why our service is grounded in the principles of Motivational Interviewing (MI) and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)—two of the most respected, research-backed therapeutic approaches for gambling addiction recovery.
- Motivational Interviewing helps individuals find their own motivation for change, focusing on empathy, collaboration, and empowering the client.
- Cognitive Behavioural Therapy enables clients to understand and manage the thoughts, behaviours, and triggers that drive addictive behaviour, equipping them with practical tools for long-term recovery.
Our team of trained, non-judgmental professionals provides support tailored to the needs of each individual, helping clients move forward at their own pace.
A Safe and Confidential Space
At the heart of our work is a commitment to dignity, respect, and confidentiality. We know how difficult it can be to reach out for help, especially with issues that often carry stigma and shame. That's why we've created a support environment that is:
- Completely confidential, your privacy is our priority.
- Non-judgmental and compassionate, you will be met with understanding and support, not judgment.
- Accessible and responsive, whether you're seeking help for the first time or returning to continue your journey, our team is here when you're ready.
Help Is Just a Click Away
To make it as easy as possible for individuals to access support, we've launched www.gamblingsupport.ie — an online portal designed with simplicity, privacy, and accessibility in mind.
Through our portal, you can:

Rooted in Community. Driven by Compassion.
As part of the Cornmarket Project, we are committed to building on more than two decades of community engagement, harm reduction, and recovery support. We believe in meeting people where they are, walking alongside them, and empowering them to take control of their lives.
We're here to support positive change, because recovery is possible, and nobody should have to face addiction alone.
