Dr. Baldwin was a great help in guiding me and helping me work through 2 situations that I was struggling with (one professional, one personal). After just 8 sessions, I totally changed my way of seeing my situations, was able to take concrete actions to solving certain issues, and came away with tools and strategies to maintain my progress on my own now that the sessions have finished. Dr. Baldwin is kind, easy to relate to, professional, and asks the right questions to get you heading in the right direction. I definitely recommend working with him.

More about George

  • 6 years' experience
  • Male
  • HCPC

Hi! I’m a registered Clinical Psychologist with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) and have published peer-reviewed research. I completed my Clinical Psychology doctorate at the University of East Anglia (UEA) Medical School and have experience in the assessment, formulation and treatment of complex psychological difficulties with individuals, couples, families and groups, in line with guidance from the National Institute of Health and Care Excellence (NICE). In addition to my own NHS and private clinical practice, I currently provide clinical supervision to a number of psychological professionals.

Over the last six years, I have worked in primary and secondary care community mental health services with children and adults, as well as psychiatric inpatient units (forensics, adult acute, older adult acute and eating disorders), physical health clinics (paediatrics, diabetes and chronic pain) and specialist learning disability and fostering services. I have worked with clients across the lifespan, treating psychological difficulties including: anxiety, panic, depression, bipolar, psychotic depression, schizophrenia, delusional disorder, hoarding, OCD, disordered eating, emotional dysregulation, personality disorders, specific phobias and trauma (including physical, domestic, sexual, psychological and financial abuse, neglect and bereavement). I am familiar with adapting my approach within the context of neurodiversity including Autism spectrum conditions, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), attention deficit disorder (ADD) and Dyslexia.

I can enable meaningful change when multiple diagnoses may be affecting someone’s daily life. I enjoy the opportunity to work with a diverse range of clients, both individually and with couples/families, or in small groups. My favourite modalities are Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Systemic therapy, however I am also trained in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Solution Focussed Therapy (SFT), Compassion Focussed Therapy (CFT) and Dialetical Behavioural Therapy (DBT) skills.

The approach I try to take is warm, non-judgmental and always tailored to the client(s). Over the course of regular 45 minute sessions, I will initially undertake an assessment of relevant information and typically then develop a visual ‘formulation’ with you at a pace you feel comfortable with (this can take many forms depending on the presenting problem(s), whether it is individual, couple or family work and which therapeutic model is being used). Normally, the formulation highlights patterns in thoughts, feelings, behaviours and relationships, within the context of past and current experiences, and from this, we can agree on what to focus on. This allows a parameter from which to measure how therapy is going and regular sessions can focus on noticing cognitive, behavioural and relational patterns, developing the formulation over time in relation to the agreed purpose of the therapy. Treatment plans may include practising and/or documenting alternative thoughts or behaviours, to promote change outside of the sessions.

Thanks for reading and I hope to start working with you soon!

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.

Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
