About Maisha
Dr. Maisha Murshed is a HCPC registered clinical psychologist practising in the United Kingdom. She has eight years of experience supporting people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, relationship strain, family conflict, trauma and abuse.
She also offers help with parenting concerns. She meets people with respect and believes they bring skills and knowledge that matter in therapy. Her approach centres on helping people tell their story and build on strengths.
Background and approach
Sessions look at patterns that keep problems going and small, practical steps to change them. She uses different ways of working to match what each person needs rather than a one-size-fits-all method. Dr Murshed draws on therapies that focus on thoughts and behaviour, relationships, life stories and deeper emotional patterns.
That means conversations may include noticing unhelpful thinking, exploring attachment and family roles, or reflecting on past events that still affect day-to-day life. Therapy with her aims to be collaborative. She helps people set clear, realistic goals and finds approaches that fit their situation.
The work is paced so people can try things between sessions and review what helps. She practises in the UK and conducts sessions in English. To start, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions according to the booking process.

How Maisha works online
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in close relationships and early experiences that shape how people relate now. This work helps when communication, trust or connection in relationships feels hard to manage.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will listen to your goals and try different ways of working together. Decisions about methods are made collaboratively and can change as needs and priorities shift.
Please confirm the current session options before booking as formats are not listed here. Many people find online sessions easier to fit into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Online work can make it simpler to keep therapy consistent around family, work or caring commitments while still focusing on meaningful change.
