Dr. Ehsan Goli Garmianaki helps people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression or life changes. He is mindful of issues around relationships, intimacy and identity.

He also supports people dealing with addiction, grief, sleep or eating concerns and those navigating career or parenting strains. Dr. Goli Garmianaki works in English, Kurdish and Persian and is based in the United Kingdom.

He uses Psychodynamic Therapy to look at patterns that repeat in everyday life.

Background and approach

Sessions focus on how past experiences shape current feelings and reactions. The therapist encourages gentle reflection so clients can notice what drives their behaviour. Practical conversations are paired with time to think about deeper emotions.

Expectations, boundaries and regular sessions are part of the work. Progress is often steady rather than fast, and commitment helps the process. Over 14 years of clinical work inform his approach.

He is registered with HCPC which appears on his professional record as HCPC. That registration reflects a recognised professional standing in the UK. People can expect a calm pace and straightforward language in sessions.

The therapist aims to help people understand recurring difficulties and to find clearer ways to cope. He welcomes people from different backgrounds and nationalities.

Psychodynamic work online and what it can offer

Psychodynamic Therapy looks at how past relationships and experiences shape current feelings and behaviour. Online sessions let people talk through repeated patterns, such as relationship difficulties, attachment worries or recurring mood problems, and notice how these show up now.

In sessions the therapist invites reflection on thoughts, emotions and dreams or memories when they arise. This approach can help with anxiety, depression, trauma-related reactions, identity or intimacy concerns and long-standing patterns that feel hard to change.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss aims, methods and what feels helpful, then make decisions together based on the client's needs, goals and preferences. That collaborative planning helps tailor sessions to practical goals as well as deeper reflection.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Messaging and live chat suit short check-ins, ongoing support between sessions or when someone prefers not to be on camera. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to keep continuity when travel or relocation is a factor.
