Dr. Maisha Murshed

Dr. Maisha Murshed is a HCPC registered clinical psychologist in the United Kingdom with eight years of professional experience. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship and family problems, trauma and abuse, and parenting concerns. Sessions focus on practical ways to manage day-to-day pressures and make sense of difficult experiences.

In sessions she treats people as the expert on their own story and draws on their strengths. She uses several talking approaches to help people notice patterns, test new ways of reacting, and tell the parts of their story that feel stuck. Work can involve looking at unhelpful thoughts, understanding attachment and past relationships, and examining how life events shape current choices.

She commonly uses techniques from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to translate insights into manageable steps. Narrative and psychodynamic ideas are also used to consider how personal history and meaning affect present feelings. This mix can help when patterns of avoidance, emptiness, or a sense of disconnection are present.

Practical concerns such as parenting stress, blended family dynamics, communication problems, and care-giver strain are addressed with concrete strategies and reflection. She also supports people facing separation, commitment doubts, body image worries, disordered eating patterns, or domestic and family violence impacts.

People can expect clear explanations of the approaches being used and time to practise new responses between meetings. To begin, readers are invited to use the site process to describe their situation and book an initial session.

Therapeutic approaches and working online

Dr Murshed often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose values-based actions. ACT can be useful for anxiety, ongoing worry, and a sense of emptiness because it focuses on small, workable steps rather than trying to remove every negative feeling.

She also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. This approach helps when people struggle with commitment, abandonment fears, or repeated relationship problems by mapping how past bonds influence present reactions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss different methods and together with the client decide which fits their needs, goals and preferences. That collaborative process means approaches can be combined and adjusted as therapy progresses.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people avoid being on camera if that helps, or choose a method that requires less bandwidth. Registered professionals will explain how they plan sessions so they fit into everyday life.
