About Maisha
Dr. Maisha Murshed is a HCPC registered Clinical Psychologist in the United Kingdom with eight years of professional experience. She works with adults who are struggling with stress, anxiety, relationship tensions, family conflicts, trauma and abuse, and parenting concerns. She helps people who feel weighed down by guilt or shame related to family, faith, or relationships.
Dr Murshed uses practical conversation and listening to help people untangle what they are carrying. She treats clients as the experts on their own lives and draws on their strengths. Sessions focus on clearer thinking, managing difficult feelings, and making small, realistic changes.
Her approach draws on several therapeutic models. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at how thoughts and actions interact and offers strategies to test and change unhelpful patterns. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings and decide what matters to them despite those experiences.
She also uses Attachment-Based work to understand how early relationships shape current reactions. Narrative Therapy is used to separate a person from a problem and reframe the stories that keep them stuck. Psychodynamic ideas can help uncover repeated patterns that feel familiar but unhelpful.
Dr Murshed often supports people dealing with abandonment, attachment problems, blended family issues, caregiver stress, codependency, communication problems, dissociation, divorce and separation, domestic violence, eating and body image concerns, emptiness, and fatherhood issues. Language of sessions is English and international clients are not accepted.

Therapeutic approaches and working online
Dr Murshed uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to look at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and to test small behavioural changes that can reduce unhelpful patterns. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy is used to help people notice painful thoughts and feelings and then choose actions that align with what matters to them rather than be led only by those feelings.Attachment-Based work is also part of her practice and focuses on how early relationship patterns shape current reactions and expectations. These approaches are useful for issues like relationship tension, attachment concerns, shame linked to family or upbringing, and trauma-related reactions.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. She will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, history and preferences. That process can involve trying different ways of working and adjusting the focus as things change.
The biography does not specify which online session formats are offered, so please confirm current options before booking. Many people find online sessions help fit therapy into everyday life by reducing travel and making shorter check-ins possible during a busy day. Other practical benefits include easier access from different parts of the country and the ability to continue sessions across life changes, with the therapist and client agreeing together on how sessions will be arranged.
