About Maisha
Dr. Maisha Murshed works from a practical, collaborative approach. She is a HCPC-registered clinical psychologist with eight years of experience helping people manage stress and anxiety.
She speaks plainly and focuses on what will help in everyday life. She helps people talk through relationship tensions and family problems. She also supports those coping with trauma and abuse, and people dealing with parenting strains.
Sessions aim to identify small, achievable steps that reduce overwhelm and improve day-to-day functioning.
Background and approach
Her sessions combine different ways of working to match each person's needs. She draws on methods that look at thoughts and behaviours, how attachments shape relationships, and how life stories influence feelings. This mix helps people make sense of painful experiences and try new ways of responding.
Dr Murshed encourages clients to use their own strengths. She prefers short, clear goals and practical exercises people can use between sessions. Conversations are direct but compassionate, with plenty of time to ask questions and plan next steps.
She practises in the United Kingdom and offers help in English. People can expect straightforward explanations about methods and a steady focus on what matters most to them.
Therapeutic approaches and online support
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on helping people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without letting them dictate actions. It encourages choosing values-based steps even when emotions are uncomfortable, which suits worries, anxiety and life changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It offers practical exercises to test unhelpful thinking and build healthier routines, often useful for anxiety and stress. Attachment-Based Therapy examines how past relationships shape current patterns. It helps people understand repeated relationship difficulties and try new ways of relating.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That might mean trying one approach first, mixing techniques, or adjusting the plan as progress is made.
Online therapy with this counsellor uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video is good for in-depth conversations and working through exercises together. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is low or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging are useful for shorter check-ins, quick reflections or keeping momentum between appointments. These options let people fit therapy around work, family and daily life while working with registered or accredited professionals.
