About George

Dr. George Baldwin is a Clinical Psychologist registered with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) and has six years of clinical experience. He works with common young adult concerns such as stress, anxiety, relationships, grief and coping with life changes, alongside depression, sleeping problems and self-esteem. He also supports people facing addiction, compassion fatigue and parenting stresses. Sessions may also address complex or overlapping problems where multiple difficulties affect daily life.

He trained through a Clinical Psychology doctorate at the University of East Anglia Medical School and has worked across primary and secondary care. His background includes NHS and private practice, inpatient units and physical health settings such as paediatrics, diabetes and chronic pain clinics. He also provides clinical supervision to other psychological professionals.

In practice he begins with an assessment and then builds a visual formulation with the client. That formulation maps thoughts, feelings, behaviours and relationships and helps identify where to focus work. Sessions are typically 45 minutes and can be individual, couple, family or small group work depending on the presenting problem.

He commonly uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Systemic therapy and also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, Compassion Focussed Therapy and Dialectical Behavioural Therapy skills. Treatment plans can include practising alternative thoughts and behaviours between sessions to support change in daily life.

Dr Baldwin is based in the United Kingdom and works in English. He accepts international clients. Before booking, check which session formats are currently offered for online or in-person appointments.

How his therapeutic approaches work for online sessions

He often uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy which focuses on spotting and changing unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns. CBT can help with anxiety, depression, sleep problems and managing stress and is usually hands-on with tasks between sessions.

He also uses Systemic therapy which looks at relationships and patterns between people. Systemic work can help when relationship dynamics, family arrangements or interlinked behaviours are central to the problem and it can be adapted for couples, family or individual sessions.

Choosing the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will work with the client to agree what fits the person’s goals and circumstances, and may combine methods as the work develops. The formulation created early on helps guide which techniques to try and when to change direction.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments around study, work or caring responsibilities, and it can reduce travel time. Some remote formats also suit shorter check-ins or sessions where being on camera is not needed, which can help people keep therapy manageable alongside daily life.
