Dr. Ehsan Goli Garmianaki , HCPC

Dr. Ehsan Goli Garmianaki is a United Kingdom based mental health professional registered with the HCPC - the Health and Care Professions Council - and brings 14 years of clinical experience to his practice.

He works from a psychoanalytic perspective informed by Lacanian theory, offering a reflective space where thoughts, feelings and patterns in relationships can be explored. His approach encourages careful attention to the meanings people give to their experiences and to the ways past relationship templates can shape present difficulties.

Dr. Garmianaki aims to support clients through a process that requires commitment, trust and sustained effort, helping them gain insight into issues such as anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship difficulties and challenges with intimacy or self-esteem. Sessions focus on understanding underlying dynamics that contribute to distress and on developing a steadier relationship with one’s inner life.

He frames therapy as a collaborative endeavour in which the therapist and client work together toward greater clarity and more effective ways of coping with life’s challenges.

Psychodynamic and Lacanian-Informed Online Therapy

Dr. Ehsan Goli Garmianaki draws primarily on psychodynamic therapy, an approach that focuses on exploring unconscious patterns, early relationship influences and recurring emotional themes to help clients understand why they react to situations the way they do. This exploration often helps with issues such as anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, trauma and struggles with self-esteem.

He also integrates Lacanian-informed psychoanalytic ideas, which attend to the ways language, desire and symbolic meaning shape a person’s inner world. This perspective can be useful for clients seeking deeper insight into persistent relational patterns and identity concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Dr. Garmianaki works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals and preferences, adjusting the focus over time as the work unfolds.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can be delivered by video call, over the phone, via live chat or through text-based messaging - making it easier to fit therapy into daily life and to connect across distances. These options support continuity of care and make it possible for clients to engage in reflective work from a place that feels comfortable to them.
