About Maisha

Dr. Maisha Murshed is a HCPC registered Clinical Psychologist in the United Kingdom with eight years of professional experience. She works with people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship strain, family problems, trauma and abuse, and parenting concerns.

She uses practical, evidence-informed methods to help people notice how thoughts and habits affect feelings and behaviour. Sessions focus on clear steps people can try between meetings. She explains options and helps clients choose what to try next.

Her work includes attention to attachment and family patterns that shape current reactions. That can mean looking at how past losses or abandonment affect trust and closeness now. She also addresses issues such as communication problems, blended family dynamics, and separation or divorce.

When trauma or abuse is involved, she combines trauma-focused approaches with longer-term therapies to support recovery and reduce distressing symptoms. For concerns like body image, eating issues, codependency or dissociation she uses focused strategies alongside broader therapeutic reflection.

People who seek help for parenting or caregiver stress can expect practical tools for day-to-day strain as well as time to talk through complicated feelings about fatherhood, caregiving roles, or family responsibilities. Dr. Murshed aims to be straightforward and collaborative while helping people try new ways of thinking and acting.

How her approaches translate to online sessions

CBT helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and test new responses. It breaks problems down into small, practical steps people can try between sessions and then review together. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages noticing inner experiences without getting stuck and choosing actions that match personal values, which can help when anxiety or avoidance are an issue.

Attachment-based work looks at patterns in close relationships that shape reactions now. It can be useful for relationship tensions, abandonment concerns, or when family roles cause stress. Dr. Murshed discusses how these approaches could fit a person’s goals and preferences, and she works with the client to pick what to try first. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives, for example by removing travel time or allowing a shorter check-in between commitments. They also permit work on tasks such as behavioural experiments, mindfulness exercises and thought records that suit a screen or phone format. The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. The therapist will help tailor the practicalities and the therapeutic approach to what the client needs and prefers.
