Dr. George Baldwin, HCPC

Dr George Baldwin is a Clinical Psychologist registered with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) in the United Kingdom with six years of clinical experience. He works with adults on common difficulties such as stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship problems, sleep issues and coping with life changes, and also supports people dealing with addictions, compassion fatigue and self‑esteem concerns. He lists work with trauma and abuse, bipolar disorder and family difficulties among his areas of practice.

He trained at the University of East Anglia (UEA) Medical School and has published peer‑reviewed research. His clinical work has been in both NHS and private settings, and he has provided clinical supervision to other psychological professionals. He has experience across community mental health, inpatient psychiatric units, physical health clinics and specialist learning disability and fostering services.

In sessions he begins with an assessment and then develops a visual formulation with the person. The formulation maps patterns in thoughts, feelings, behaviours and relationships and is used to decide what to focus on. Regular 45 minute meetings typically involve noticing cognitive, behavioural and relational patterns and working on practical steps between sessions.

His preferred approaches include Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Systemic therapy, and he also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, Compassion Focussed Therapy and DBT skills. He adapts his methods for neurodiversity, including autism spectrum conditions, ADHD and dyslexia.

Sessions aim to be direct and pragmatic, with treatment tasks that can be practiced outside appointments. He works with individuals and also with couples, families or small groups when that suits the goals of the work.

Therapeutic approaches and working online

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and testing unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. It is used for anxiety, depression, sleep problems and many common difficulties by helping people try practical alternatives and notice effects. Systemic therapy looks at patterns in relationships and roles that maintain problems. It can help when relationship dynamics, family roles or parenting strains are part of what keeps someone stuck.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods fit the issue, goals and personal preferences. That plan can change as the formulation develops and new information emerges.

Session formats are not specified in the supplied biography, so please confirm the current online session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments around daily life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check‑in meetings when needed. It also lets people keep regular contact while living in different places, which can help maintain momentum between sessions.
