About George
Dr. George Baldwin is a HCPC-registered clinical psychologist who helps people struggling with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, grief and other life changes. He also supports people coping with addiction, sleep problems, parenting strain, low self-esteem and compassion fatigue. He explains things plainly and aims to build a clear plan with each person he sees.
George trained at the University of East Anglia and holds a Clinical Psychology doctorate. He has six years of clinical experience working in NHS services and private practice, and he also provides supervision to other psychological professionals. His background includes work in community mental health, inpatient services and physical health clinics.
Sessions typically begin with an assessment and the creation of a visual formulation that lays out patterns in thoughts, feelings, behaviours and relationships. That shared formulation then helps set goals and decide what to focus on in regular 45 minute meetings. Homework tasks and practical experiments are often used to test alternative thoughts and behaviours between sessions.
He describes his approach as warm and non-judgemental and adapts methods to each person's needs. His preferred ways of working include Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Systemic approaches, with experience in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Compassion Focussed Therapy, Dialectical Behavioural Therapy skills and Solution Focussed Therapy.
People can expect direct, practical work on everyday thoughts and habits alongside attention to the wider relationships and life events that shape those patterns. George works with individuals, and also offers couple, family or small group formats where appropriate.

How therapeutic approaches shape online work
Many of George's methods focus on changing unhelpful thoughts and everyday habits. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and offers practical exercises to test and change those patterns. Systemic approaches look at relationships and roles to understand how interactions influence problems and to open up different ways of relating.He also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) ideas that help people clarify values and take committed action, and he draws on Compassion Focussed Therapy techniques to reduce self-criticism and build kinder self-relating. These approaches are used to match the work to the person's goals and difficulties rather than as fixed prescriptions.
Finding the right fit is part of the process. George collaborates with each person to choose which methods suit their needs, goals and preferences, and he reviews progress together so the plan can change over time.
If you are considering online sessions, please confirm the specific session formats available before booking, as the biography does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around daily life, avoid travel, and use brief check-ins when schedules are tight. Some approaches lend themselves to homework, worksheets and short practical experiments that work well between remote meetings.
