Dr. George Baldwin, HCPC

Dr. George Baldwin is a registered clinical psychologist with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC), indicating professional registration to practise in his field. He holds a Clinical Psychology doctorate from the University of East Anglia (UEA) Medical School and has contributed to peer-reviewed research. Over six years he has worked across NHS and private settings, developing skills in assessment, formulation and treatment of complex psychological difficulties for individuals, couples, families and small groups in line with National Institute for Health and Care Excellence guidance.

His clinical experience spans primary and secondary community mental health services for children and adults, psychiatric inpatient units - including forensics, adult acute, older adult acute and eating disorders - and physical health clinics such as paediatrics, diabetes and chronic pain. He has also worked in specialist learning disability and fostering services. This breadth of settings supports work across the lifespan with presentations including anxiety and panic, depression, bipolar disorder, psychotic depression, schizophrenia, delusional disorder, hoarding, obsessive compulsive disorder, disordered eating, emotional dysregulation, personality disorders, specific phobias and trauma from a range of causes, as well as bereavement and neglect.

Dr. Baldwin adapts his approach for neurodiversity, including Autism spectrum conditions, ADHD, ADD and dyslexia, and is experienced helping people where multiple diagnoses affect daily life. He provides clinical supervision to other psychological professionals and combines preferred modalities such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Systemic therapy with training in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Solution Focused Therapy (SFT), Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT) and Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT) skills. His manner is warm and non-judgmental, and he works collaboratively to develop a visual formulation with clients during regular 45 minute sessions to identify patterns in thoughts, feelings, behaviours and relationships and agree clear therapeutic focuses. Treatment plans commonly include practical exercises to support change between sessions, tailored to each client or family situation.
