Dr. Maisha Murshed uses a blend of practical, evidence-informed therapies to help people manage stress, anxiety, relationship and family problems. She is HCPC registered and brings eight years of experience as a clinical psychologist in the United Kingdom.

Her approach is straightforward and collaborative, focusing on what a person wants to change and how to get there. She works with people who have experienced trauma and abuse and those facing parenting strains.

Background and approach

Sessions often address patterns such as abandonment, attachment struggles, codependency and communication problems. Maisha pays attention to how past experiences shape present reactions and relationships. In sessions she combines methods from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and attachment-focused work.

That means practical exercises, looking at unhelpful thinking, and exploring relationship patterns that keep people stuck. She also draws on narrative and psychodynamic ideas to help people make sense of their life story. Her style is supportive and direct.

She helps clients notice what matters to them, set small achievable steps, and practise new ways of coping between sessions. Parents and caregivers can expect help with caregiving stress, blended family issues, fatherhood concerns and other family-focused challenges. Maisha emphasises the client’s strengths and choices.

She aims to create a space where people can try out different approaches and build skills that fit their everyday lives.

Approaches that suit online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most to them and take small steps towards those values. It uses simple exercises to reduce avoidance and build meaningful action. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviours to ease symptoms like anxiety and stress. It is goal-oriented and often includes practical homework between sessions. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationships shape current reactions and communication styles, which can help with relationship and parenting concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to choose methods that fit their needs, goals and preferences. Together they may try one approach first and adjust over time as progress and comfort develop.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be handy when bandwidth is limited, and text-based options allow shorter check-ins and written reflections. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and other commitments while still using practical therapeutic techniques.
