About George

Dr. George Baldwin is a clinical psychologist registered with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC). He helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, sleep difficulties, grief, low mood and other life changes. He also supports those dealing with relationship strain, parenting pressures, addiction and compassion fatigue.

He works in a warm, non-judgemental way and adapts his style to each person. Sessions are structured around a 45 minute assessment and then an agreed plan. He often uses a visual formulation to map thoughts, feelings, behaviours and relationships so clients can see patterns and focus on change.

Over six years he has worked across primary and secondary care, inpatient wards and physical health clinics. His experience includes work with people who have complex mental health needs and with neurodiverse presentations such as Autism spectrum conditions, ADHD and dyslexia.

George commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Systemic therapy, and he also uses methods from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, Compassion Focused Therapy and Dialectical Behavioural Therapy skills. He blends approaches to suit what each person needs and what they want to work on.

Typical sessions look at how day-to-day thoughts and routines affect sleep, mood and relationships. He encourages practical exercises to try between sessions so progress can be noticed in everyday life.

Therapeutic approaches and online working

George commonly uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, which focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns and testing small experiments to change them. This approach often helps with anxiety, depression and sleep problems by teaching practical strategies to adjust routines and thoughts.

He also uses Systemic therapy approaches that look at relationships and patterns between people. Systemic ideas can be useful when sleep or stress problems are connected to family routines, parenting pressures or relationship dynamics.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and agree a plan together based on the person’s goals and preferences. He tailors methods over time and checks progress against the shared formulation.

If you are considering online sessions, please confirm the available formats before booking as the profile does not list them. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into busy weeks, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also makes accessing a practitioner in the United Kingdom possible from other locations when international work is accepted. Practical arrangements such as length and frequency of sessions are agreed with the therapist so they fit into everyday life.
