Dr. Ehsan Goli Garmianaki, HCPC

Dr. Ehsan Goli Garmianaki helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, low mood or big life changes. He works with individuals facing relationship and intimacy difficulties, trauma and addiction concerns, and issues around identity such as LGBT matters. He also supports those struggling with sleep, eating, anger, parenting strain and career pressures.

He is registered with the HCPC, has 14 years of clinical experience, and offers sessions in English, Kurdish and Persian. International clients can book sessions, and he provides several online formats to suit different needs.

Dr Goli Garmianaki uses psychodynamic therapy to look at how past experiences and unconscious patterns shape present feelings and behaviour. Sessions often focus on recurring themes, relationship patterns and emotional conflicts that turn up in day-to-day life.

In practice he creates a calm space for people to talk and reflect. Conversations are aimed at making connections between feelings, choices and repeated responses. The work usually asks for honesty, patience and regular meetings so changes can build over time.

People meet him by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. The initial steps are simple - complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a session. Fees vary by location and use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.

Psychodynamic thinking applied to online therapy

Psychodynamic therapy looks at how early experiences and repeating patterns influence current feelings and behaviour. It helps people understand why certain reactions keep happening and how those patterns affect relationships and mood.

The work invites people to notice recurring themes in their thoughts and emotions. Through regular conversation the therapist helps connect present difficulties to past events and unconscious routines, which can reduce confusion and offer new choices.

Finding the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, and then adjust the focus as the work progresses. This collaborative way of deciding makes it easier to try different approaches and see what fits.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video is useful for richer conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be simpler when internet bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging are convenient for people who prefer written communication or spacing reflections over time. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit around work, family or travel.
