Dr. Maisha Murshed, HCPC

Dr. Maisha Murshed is a HCPC registered clinical psychologist with eight years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, family problems, trauma and abuse, and parenting challenges. She frames clients as experts in their own lives and aims to support them through difficult changes.

Her approach is practical and collaborative. She listens to each person’s story and looks for strengths to build on. Sessions focus on small, manageable steps that fit into everyday life rather than big, sudden shifts.

Dr Murshed draws on several psychotherapy methods to match what each person needs. She uses techniques that help people notice difficult thoughts and feelings and respond differently to them. She also pays attention to how early relationships shape current patterns and to the stories people tell about themselves.

She has worked across a range of issues such as attachment concerns, abandonment, blended family dynamics, caregiver stress, codependency, and communication problems. She also supports people dealing with dissociation, eating or body image issues, domestic violence, divorce and fatherhood questions.

In sessions she aims to help people identify clear goals, try out new ways of relating, and practise coping skills between meetings. The tone of her work is respectful and down-to-earth, with a focus on realistic progress rather than quick fixes.

Approaches that shape online work and fit everyday life

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and then take actions that reflect their values. It can be useful for anxiety, stress and commitment worries. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early bond patterns affect current relationships and helps people try new ways of relating and connecting. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking and testing practical changes in behaviour to reduce distress and improve day-to-day functioning.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences and then recommend which methods to try. That decision is collaborative and can change as progress is made.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work, childcare or other commitments and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They can also reduce travel time and help people attend from quieter surroundings, which many find helpful when juggling a busy life.
