About George

Dr. George Baldwin is a clinical psychologist registered with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC). He has six years of clinical experience and works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship problems, grief, depression, addiction and other complex difficulties. He aims to help people make practical changes that improve daily life.

He trained at the University of East Anglia Medical School and has published peer-reviewed research. His background includes work in community mental health, psychiatric inpatient units, physical health clinics and specialist fostering services. He has experience across a wide range of difficulties including trauma, bipolar disorder, obsessive compulsive presentations, eating disorders and personality-related problems.

Sessions usually begin with a focused assessment and the development of a visual formulation that maps patterns in thoughts, feelings, behaviours and relationships. That formulation then guides what to work on and how progress will be checked.

Dr Baldwin uses straightforward, practical tasks between sessions when they suit the goals of therapy. These tasks can include testing out alternative thoughts or behaviours and tracking what changes in everyday life.

He adapts his approach for different needs, including neurodiversity such as autism spectrum conditions, attention differences and dyslexia. He also offers clinical supervision to other psychological professionals and blends individual, couple, family and small group work when appropriate.

How evidence-based approaches translate to online therapy

Dr Baldwin commonly uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Systemic therapy. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and testing unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, with practical exercises you can try between sessions to reduce anxiety or low mood. Systemic therapy looks at patterns across relationships and roles, helping people notice how interactions affect problems and what to change to improve connections.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with you to agree on goals, test what helps, and adjust methods as needed. That way the plan reflects your needs, circumstances and preferences rather than a fixed protocol.

Please confirm current session options before booking since formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, cut travel time, or choose a shorter check-in when needed. It also allows people in different countries to arrange appointments more flexibly. Registered or accredited professionals can explain which session arrangements suit your objectives and lifestyle during the initial matching and scheduling steps.
