Dr. George Baldwin is a registered Clinical Psychologist with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) and an author of peer-reviewed research. He completed his Clinical Psychology doctorate at the University of East Anglia Medical School and combines academic training with extensive clinical experience in both NHS and private settings.

Over the past six years he has worked across primary and secondary community mental health services for children and adults, psychiatric inpatient units including forensic and acute wards, physical health clinics such as paediatrics and chronic pain, and specialist learning disability and fostering services. His work has involved assessment, formulation and treatment of complex presentations for individuals, couples, families and groups, following guidance from the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE).

Dr. Baldwin has experience treating a wide range of difficulties including anxiety, panic, depression, bipolar presentations, psychotic symptoms, hoarding, OCD, eating problems, emotional dysregulation, personality-related difficulties, specific phobias and various forms of trauma and bereavement. He is practiced in adapting therapeutic approaches for neurodiversity, including Autism spectrum conditions, ADHD, ADD and dyslexia, and is able to work when multiple diagnoses affect daily functioning.

His preferred modalities include Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Systemic therapy, and he is also trained in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Solution Focused Therapy (SFT), Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT) and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) skills. He aims to offer a warm, non-judgmental approach that is tailored to each client. Typical work begins with a structured assessment and a collaboratively developed visual formulation that highlights patterns in thoughts, feelings, behaviours and relationships, from which clear therapeutic goals and practical tasks are agreed and reviewed over time.
