Dr. Maisha Murshed

Dr. Maisha Murshed is a HCPC-registered clinical psychologist with eight years of practice in the United Kingdom. She helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, family conflict, trauma and abuse, and parenting concerns. She works in a collaborative way and sees the person as the expert of their own story.

Her approach starts by listening carefully to what matters most to each person. She helps clients identify strengths and small, practical steps they can take. Conversations tend to focus on clearer communication, understanding patterns that cause pain, and building strategies to cope with overwhelming feelings.

Dr. Murshed draws on several therapeutic methods to match each person's needs. Cognitive behavioural techniques are used to spot and change unhelpful thinking and behaviour. Attachment-based ideas help look at how early relationships shape current connections and emotions.

Narrative and psychodynamic perspectives are used to make sense of personal stories and recurring life themes. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy can help people clarify values and take committed steps towards a more meaningful life, even when difficult feelings remain.

She has experience addressing issues such as abandonment, blended family challenges, communication problems, dissociation, and divorce and separation. Her work also covers body image, eating-related concerns, codependency, caregiving stress, domestic violence, fatherhood issues and feelings of emptiness.

People who choose to work with Dr. Murshed can expect a respectful, non-judgemental space where practical changes are balanced with attention to personal history and values.

How therapy approaches translate online

Dr. Murshed uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. CBT sessions often include practical exercises and clear steps you can try between meetings to reduce anxiety or manage stress.

She also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early relationship patterns affect current connections and feelings. This approach can help people understand repetitive relationship problems and work towards healthier ways of relating.

Finding the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, preferences and what feels most useful. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the work over time if needed.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work, childcare or other commitments. Some formats may be better for shorter check-ins, while others suit longer therapeutic work or exercises that use screen sharing or written tasks. Discuss practicalities and preferred ways of meeting when you first arrange sessions to make sure they fit your everyday life.
