About Ehsan
Dr. Ehsan Goli Garmianaki helps people who are juggling parenting pressures and the everyday strains that come with family life. He offers a calm, reflective space for parents who feel overwhelmed, anxious, low in mood, or unsure about their next steps.
Sessions are aimed at helping clients make sense of difficult feelings and find steadier ways to cope. He draws on psychodynamic therapy to look at patterns that repeat over time.
Background and approach
That includes early attachments, recurring relationship dynamics, and unconscious habits that show up in parenting and relationships. Conversation in sessions focuses on understanding those patterns and how they influence current choices. Over 14 years Dr.
Garmianaki has worked with a broad range of concerns including anxiety, depression, trauma, addiction, grief, sleep and eating difficulties, and parenting-related stress. He also gives attention to issues such as attachment, body image, fatherhood concerns, and immigration-related strain. Dr.
Garmianaki is registered with the Health and Care Professions Council - HCPC. He conducts sessions in English, Kurdish and Persian, and is available to work with people inside and outside the United Kingdom. Therapy can take different shapes depending on the person.
He usually starts by listening to what matters most to the client now, then together they decide on a pace and focus. The approach asks for honesty and steady effort, and aims to build clearer self-understanding and more reliable coping steps.

Psychodynamic approaches and online therapy
Psychodynamic therapy explores how past experiences, especially early relationships, shape current feelings and actions. It can help people notice repeated patterns in parenting, attachment, intimacy and self-worth, and then choose different responses.In sessions the focus is often on talking through emotions and recurring relationship themes. The therapist helps people make connections between past and present, so they can better manage anxiety, low mood, anger or confusion about parenting roles. This approach suits those who want to understand the roots of their reactions rather than only treat symptoms.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs with each person and together they will decide how to proceed. That collaborative process means adaptations can be made as issues evolve or new priorities emerge.
Online formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives. Video calls let people use facial cues and longer conversation time, while phone sessions can be quicker and use less bandwidth. Live chat and text-based messaging support short check-ins, practical problem-solving and ongoing reflection between longer sessions. These options offer flexibility for different routines and communication styles.
