About George
Dr. George Baldwin works with stress, anxiety, relationship problems, grief, depression, addiction and other complex difficulties using evidence-based therapeutic techniques. He is registered with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) and has six years' clinical experience.
He trained as a clinical psychologist, completing a doctorate at the University of East Anglia Medical School. He has worked in both NHS and private settings and has published peer-reviewed research. His background includes primary and secondary care community mental health services and inpatient psychiatric units.
He has worked in physical health clinics, including paediatrics, diabetes and chronic pain services, and in specialist learning disability and fostering services. He has experience with a wide range of presentations such as bipolar conditions, OCD, disordered eating, psychosis-spectrum presentations, trauma and bereavement, and emotional dysregulation.
He adapts his approach when neurodiversity is present and is familiar with autism spectrum conditions, attention differences and dyslexia. He offers assessment, formulation and treatment, and also provides clinical supervision to other psychological professionals.
Sessions are normally 45 minutes and begin with an assessment to gather relevant information. He typically works with a visual formulation that identifies patterns in thoughts, feelings, behaviours and relationships, and uses that as a basis for agreed goals and measurable focus areas.
Treatment commonly involves practising and recording alternative thoughts or behaviours between sessions. He works with individuals, and also offers couple, family or small group work when appropriate and agreed with the client(s).
How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions
Dr Baldwin uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thought and behaviour patterns; this approach suits problems such as anxiety, panic, low mood and some sleep difficulties. Systemic therapy looks at patterns in relationships and family interactions and can help when relationship difficulties or blended family issues are a focus.
He also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify values and take small behavioural steps, and on Dialectical Behavioural Therapy skills for emotional regulation and coping strategies. These approaches are described and used in straightforward ways, with practical exercises you can try between sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. He will discuss goals, preferences and what seems to help, and then agree what to try together. This is a collaborative process and plans are adjusted as progress is reviewed.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work or family commitments, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals can use digital sessions to continue regular 45 minute work and to set practical between-session tasks that fit everyday life.
Sessions take place through BetterHelp by video, phone or messaging. We will earn a commission if you sign up.
