About Maisha
Dr. Maisha Murshed is a HCPC registered clinical psychologist based in the United Kingdom. She draws on eight years of clinical experience to help people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, family problems, trauma and parenting challenges. She aims to support people who want clearer direction and more manageable day-to-day coping.
Her approach treats the person and their life story, not just a list of symptoms. She helps people notice patterns that keep them stuck and try small, practical changes. Sessions are collaborative and paced to match each person’s needs.
Dr Murshed uses techniques from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to address thoughts, feelings and unhelpful behaviours. She also works with attachment-based and psychodynamic ideas to look at how early relationships shape current reactions. Narrative Therapy is used to help people reframe difficult experiences.
She has worked with people affected by abandonment, attachment struggles, blended family issues, codependency and commitment worries. Her background also includes supporting those dealing with domestic violence, dissociation, eating and body-image concerns, and fatherhood issues.
People can expect straightforward, respectful conversations and practical steps to try between sessions. Dr Murshed encourages self‑compassion while working towards clearer communication, better boundaries and steadier emotional responses.
How her approaches translate to online counselling
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people to notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting pushed around by them. It focuses on identifying values and taking small steps towards a more meaningful life. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and offers practical strategies to change unhelpful patterns. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationships shape current reactions and can help improve how someone connects with others.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the person about their goals and preferences and together they will decide which methods to try. This collaborative process means treatments are adjusted as needed rather than fixed in advance.
If you are considering online sessions, check the available session formats before booking so you know what is offered. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around family, work and day-to-day responsibilities. It can also allow shorter check-ins, reduce travel time and make scheduling more flexible, which helps people keep continuity with therapy while managing other commitments.
