About George

Dr. George Baldwin works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression and relationship difficulties. He also helps with grief, addiction, coping with life changes, sleep problems and low self-esteem. He has a particular interest in money and financial issues alongside trauma and compassion fatigue.

George is registered with the Health and Care Professions Council, HCPC. He completed a Clinical Psychology doctorate at the University of East Anglia Medical School and has six years' clinical experience in NHS and private settings. His background includes work across community mental health, inpatient services and physical health clinics.

He uses regular 45 minute sessions to gather information and build a clear formulation of what keeps a problem going. That shared formulation then guides what to focus on in therapy, with practical steps to try between sessions. Sessions aim to identify patterns in thoughts, feelings, behaviours and relationships and to test small, manageable changes.

His preferred approaches include Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Systemic therapy, and he also works with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, Compassion Focussed Therapy and Dialectical Behavioural Therapy skills. He adapts methods for neurodiversity, dementia and long-term physical health needs when relevant.

George offers clinical supervision to other psychological professionals as well as direct work with individuals, couples and small groups. He takes a warm, non-judgemental style and tailors pace and focus to each person’s needs.

Approaches for online therapy and finding the right fit

CBT, or Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns and practising alternative ways of responding. It is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep problems and managing upsetting thoughts.

Systemic therapy looks at relationships and patterns between people. It helps when difficulties arise in close relationships or in family dynamics and can clarify how interactions keep problems going.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and needs and together you will decide which methods to try. That collaborative process means the approach can change as progress is reviewed.

The practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions into a busy week and reducing travel time. If you need different arrangements for shorter check-ins or sessions without video, check which formats are offered before booking. Confirm current session options to make sure they fit your life and schedule.
