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 facing stress, anxiety, relationship and family difficulties, trauma and abuse, and parenting challenges. Sessions are conducted in English.
Maisha supports people who feel stuck in patterns such as people-pleasing, losing themselves in relationships, or living around someone else's moods or crises. She frames clients as the experts in their own stories and aims to build on existing strengths. Conversations are practical and focused on what matters to the person.
Her practice draws on several evidence-informed approaches, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based ideas, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Narrative Therapy and Psychodynamic perspectives. She uses these methods to help people notice patterns, make different choices, and tell a clearer story about themselves.
In sessions she listens to current problems and past experiences that still cause distress. Typical topics include setting boundaries, managing anxiety, navigating separation or blended family issues, and coping with caregiver stress. Work may include exercises, reflecting on past relationships, and trying new ways of responding in everyday life.
People interested in starting are asked to use the site’s matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. Fees vary with location and the practice uses a cancellable subscription model for sessions.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings and then make choices that match their values. It is often used for anxiety, stress and persistent patterns such as people-pleasing. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current ways of connecting and reacting. It can help with abandonment worries, trust issues and repeating old relational patterns.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour. It gives practical strategies to change unhelpful thinking and try new coping steps in daily life. These approaches are used to help someone identify patterns, set boundaries, manage anxiety and change small habits that keep them stuck. The therapist will work collaboratively to choose which approach or mix of approaches fits the person’s needs and goals. That decision is reviewed over time as practical work and discussion reveal what helps most.
The biography does not list specific online formats, so please confirm the current session options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It can also support those who prefer not to be on camera or who need sessions that work around caregiving or work commitments.
