About Maisha
Dr. Maisha Murshed is a HCPC-registered clinical psychologist based in the United Kingdom with eight years of professional experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationships, family matters, trauma and abuse, and parenting concerns.
Her approach is straightforward and respectful - she views each person as the expert on their own life and works alongside them to find practical ways forward. She uses a mix of evidence-based approaches to match what a person needs in the moment.
Background and approach
Sessions often include looking at patterns of thinking and behaviour, exploring early relationship experiences, and building skills to manage difficult emotions. Conversations are practical and goal-focused but also attend to what feels meaningful for the individual. Dr.
Murshed commonly helps with issues such as attachment and abandonment worries, communication problems, blended family tensions, caregiver stress and fatherhood concerns. She also supports people dealing with dissociation, eating and body image struggles, and the effects of domestic violence. Work can include managing separation, divorce and commitment questions, and addressing feelings of emptiness or codependency.
Her style blends Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Attachment-Based work, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and narrative and psychodynamic ideas. That mix lets her use practical skill-building alongside deeper exploration of personal history when needed. She aims to help people identify doable next steps and practise them between sessions.
People who choose to work with her can expect a collaborative process. She offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging so therapy can fit around other commitments. The focus is on small, tangible changes that add up over time.

Online support
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Dr. Murshed discusses different methods with each person and together they decide what feels most useful. This collaborative process means therapy can focus on immediate coping skills or on deeper relationship patterns depending on the person's goals.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people have a fuller conversation with non-verbal cues. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for brief updates, mood tracking and ongoing support between longer sessions. Registered or accredited professionals can tailor session formats to fit work, family life and daily routines, making it easier to keep progress moving forward.
