About George

Dr. George Baldwin is a clinical psychologist registered with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC). He helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief and relationship problems. He also supports people coping with life changes, addiction, trauma and sleep difficulties. He offers one-to-one help and works with couples and families when appropriate.

George trained at the University of East Anglia where he completed a Clinical Psychology doctorate. Over six years he has worked across NHS and private settings. His background includes community mental health, inpatient psychiatric wards, physical health clinics and specialist fostering services. He has published peer-reviewed research and provides clinical supervision to other psychological professionals.

Appointments normally start with a 45 minute assessment. George uses a visual formulation to map patterns of thoughts, feelings, behaviours and relationships. That formulation helps set clear goals and decide what to work on next. Sessions often include practicing different ways of thinking and acting between meetings to support change in everyday life.

He adapts his approach for people with neurodiversity and for complex or multiple diagnoses. His main working methods include Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Systemic therapy, and he also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, Compassion Focussed Therapy and Dialectical Behavioural Therapy skills when these fit the goals.

His style is warm and non-judgemental and he aims to move at a pace that suits each person. If you are seeking help after a disaster or another major life disruption, he lists coping with natural or human-caused disaster among the concerns he supports.

How therapeutic approaches work online and in practice

CBT - Cognitive Behavioural Therapy helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and behaviours and then try different ways of thinking and acting. It is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep problems and panic.

Systemic therapy - This approach looks at relationship patterns and how people influence one another. It helps when difficulties are connected to family dynamics, couples or wider social patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options with the person and agree on a plan together. That means tailoring methods to goals, preferences and what practical changes matter most. It is a collaborative process rather than a one-size-fits-all prescription.

The biography does not list specific online formats, so confirm available session types before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving or long travel times, and they can allow a shorter check-in when that is helpful. Telephone sessions usually need less bandwidth and can be a simpler option for quick reviews, while video sessions allow face-to-face interaction for more involved therapeutic work. Registered or accredited professionals can help decide which option best matches the pace and tasks you want to work on.
