About Maisha

Dr. Maisha Murshed works with thoughts and everyday habits to help people manage stress, anxiety and relationship strain. She is Dr Maisha Murshed and she is a HCPC-registered clinical psychologist with eight years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. Her approach is straightforward and practical.

She helps people untangle repeated thought patterns and small daily habits that keep problems going. That can mean looking at how worry builds up, how communication slips in close relationships, or how past hurts affect parenting. Sessions focus on small, doable changes rather than overwhelming plans.

Her background includes work with trauma and abuse and with family and parenting concerns. She also supports people who face abandonment, attachment or codependency issues. Practical problem solving and clearer everyday routines are common themes in her work.

Dr Murshed uses a mix of evidence-based approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy alongside attachment and narrative ideas. She believes that clients are the experts on their lives and that therapy is a collaborative process. The goal is to help people feel more able to act in line with what matters to them.

People who reach out can expect calm, direct conversations and help turning new insights into everyday choices. Readers should use the Start Therapy button to complete the matching questionnaire and schedule sessions according to availability.

Approaches that guide online support

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and supports choosing small actions that align with personal values. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions and teaches practical skills for changing unhelpful patterns. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships affect current connection and communication, which can help when relationship or parenting issues feel stuck.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss the options and help decide which methods best fit a person's goals, needs and preferences. This is a collaborative conversation and plans can change as progress is made.

Confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also make it simpler to join from quieter surroundings or to use audio-only if people prefer not to be on camera. Talk with the therapist when you schedule so practical arrangements suit your everyday life.
