Dr. Maisha MurshedHCPC

Dr. Maisha Murshed draws on psychological approaches that help people make sense of painful patterns and move toward more meaningful lives. She is a HCPC registered clinician with eight years of professional experience working in the United Kingdom. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship and family difficulties, trauma and abuse, and parenting concerns.

She encourages people to see themselves as the authors of their own stories and to use their strengths to face hard things. Sessions are practical and straightforward. Expect help identifying what matters to you and small steps you can try between meetings.

Her background includes work with attachment-related problems and complex reactions to loss or abandonment. She also supports people dealing with blended family challenges, separation, and communication problems. This experience informs how she frames difficulties in relationships and family life.

Clinically she uses a mix of approaches including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, attachment-based and psychodynamic ideas, and narrative methods. Those approaches are used to better understand thoughts, feelings and relational patterns and to try different ways of responding to them.

She aims to create a calm and respectful space where people can talk through what matters most. If you are navigating parenting strains or the effects of past trauma, she works with you to set clear, realistic goals and to build on what already helps.

How therapeutic approaches work in online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and reconnect with personal values. It supports dealing with anxiety, stress and parenting strains by encouraging small, values-led actions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and teaches practical strategies to reduce worry and manage difficult moods. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current bonds and is useful for relationship and family problems.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will listen to your history, goals and day-to-day reality and then suggest which ideas to try first. This is a collaborative process and plans can change as you learn what helps.

If you are considering online sessions, please confirm the current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into busy days, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Some formats use less bandwidth or do not require video, which can help when you need a quieter, simpler way to connect. Registered and accredited professionals often adapt their methods for the online setting so therapeutic tasks and practical exercises still fit into everyday life.
