About Ehsan
Dr. Ehsan Goli Garmianaki welcomes people who are feeling stressed, anxious, stuck after a loss, or unsure about relationships. He presents as calm and direct, and aims to help people understand patterns that get in the way of feeling better.
Sessions are offered in English, Kurdish and Persian for those who prefer those languages. He works from a psychodynamic perspective that looks at how past experiences shape present thoughts and feelings.
How Ehsan works
That approach helps uncover repeating patterns in relationships, self-esteem, intimacy and mood. He also pays attention to issues such as addiction, eating and sleeping problems, ADHD, grief and midlife concerns. Over 14 years he has helped people talk through career stress, parenting strain, immigration-related pressures and the challenges of separation.
He also gives space to men dealing with fatherhood, isolation, control or dependent personality struggles. His HCPC registration is noted among his professional details. In sessions he encourages reflection and steady effort.
He aims to build a working relationship where people can test new ways of thinking and relating. Progress often comes from seeing old habits more clearly and trying different responses. People who choose him should expect thoughtful listening and questions that invite closer self-understanding.
He is comfortable working with people online and by phone, and will tailor the pace and focus to each person’s situation.

Online support options
Psychodynamic work adapted for online therapy
Psychodynamic therapy focuses on how early relationships and recurring patterns shape current feelings and choices. In practice this means talking about memories, dreams and relationship patterns to spot repeated behaviours that cause distress. This approach can help with anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy issues, grief and struggles with self-esteem.Therapy is a collaborative process. The therapist will work together with each person to decide how the psychodynamic approach fits their goals and preferences. That may mean starting with more practical concerns and gradually moving to deeper patterns as trust and clarity build.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging, so people can choose what suits their life. Video calls let conversations feel most like in-person work. Phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and messaging are useful for brief check-ins or for people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and relocation across countries.
