About Maisha

Dr. Maisha Murshed works on stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns. She helps people affected by trauma and abuse and supports parents with parenting challenges. She is HCPC registered and has eight years of professional experience in the United Kingdom.

Dr. Murshed adopts practical, evidence-informed approaches in sessions. She uses methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy to help people notice thoughts and choose workable responses. Sessions involve talking through difficulties, identifying patterns, and trying out different ways of responding in day-to-day life.

Her work covers a range of common relationship and family difficulties. This includes communication problems, blended family issues, divorce and separation, and fatherhood matters. She also helps with abandonment and attachment issues that can affect how people relate to others.

She has experience supporting people with trauma-related problems and with abuse, including dissociation and domestic violence aftermath. She also works with eating and food-related concerns, body image and caregiver stress. Clients explore the history of difficulties and practical steps to feel steadier in their lives.

Dr. Murshed combines narrative and psychodynamic ideas to look at life stories and underlying patterns. She aims to help people make small, manageable changes and build on their existing strengths. To begin, people are invited to complete a short questionnaire and book an initial session through the service.

How her approaches translate to online working

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings and choose meaningful actions despite them; it is often used for anxiety, stress and values-based decisions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour and introduces straightforward techniques to reduce distress and change unhelpful patterns. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on relationship patterns and safety in connections, helping people understand how early bonds affect current relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Dr. Murshed will discuss which methods suit the person's goals and preferences and adapt them in collaboration with the client. Together they decide what to try first and review what helps as therapy progresses.

Please confirm the available session formats before booking, as the biography does not list them. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins between commitments. Different ways of meeting can also suit quieter surroundings, lower bandwidth needs or not needing to be on camera, depending on practical needs.
