Dr. George Baldwin, HCPC

Dr. George Baldwin helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship difficulties, addiction and sleep problems. He also supports those facing parenting strain, low self-esteem, bipolar mood issues, compassion fatigue and the practical side of life changes. Dr Baldwin is registered with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC).

He trained in Clinical Psychology and completed a doctorate at the University of East Anglia Medical School. Over six years he has worked across NHS and independent settings, and has published peer-reviewed research. His background includes work in community mental health, inpatient psychiatric wards, physical health clinics and specialist fostering services.

In sessions he begins with an assessment and then builds a visual formulation with the person. That formulation helps identify thoughts, feelings, behaviours and relationship patterns to focus on. Sessions are typically 45 minutes and are paced to what feels manageable for the client.

Therapy can include practising different ways of thinking and acting between appointments. Dr Baldwin uses a range of approaches tailored to the issue at hand, and he provides clinical supervision to other psychological professionals. He aims for a warm, non-judgemental style that adapts to individual needs.

He has experience working with neurodiversity, including Autism spectrum conditions, attention deficit disorders and dyslexia, and with complex presentations where more than one difficulty affects daily life. People can expect clear collaborative planning and practical steps alongside therapeutic discussion.

How evidence-based approaches translate to online therapy

Dr Baldwin uses a few well-known, evidence-based approaches to guide work. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns and practising small changes to shift mood and anxiety. Systemic therapy looks at relationships and interaction patterns to see how they maintain difficulties and what practical shifts could help the system around a person. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice internal experiences while clarifying values and taking meaningful action in line with those values.

Choosing the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will discuss options with the client, try methods that match their goals, and adapt as needed so the work stays useful and relevant.

Please confirm which session formats are offered before booking, as the biography does not specify formats. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when that suits a person's schedule. It can also make it simpler to work together when people are in different locations, while still focussing on practical exercises, formulation development and progress reviews in the same way as face-to-face work.
