Dr. Maisha Murshed
Compassionate psychologist focused on practical change
About Maisha
Dr. Maisha Murshed uses evidence-based therapies to help people reduce stress and manage anxiety. She is a HCPC registrant and brings eight years of professional experience to her practice.
Her style is straightforward and respectful, focused on what will help someone feel steadier day to day. She helps people who are struggling with relationship and family strain, trauma and abuse, and the challenges of parenting. That includes concerns such as abandonment, attachment issues, blended family stress, communication problems and separation.
Background and approach
She also supports people facing body image worries, eating-related difficulties, codependency and feelings of emptiness. In sessions she blends several approaches so the work fits the person in front of her. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to build values-driven action and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to spot patterns that make anxiety worse.
Attachment-based and psychodynamic ideas are brought in when early relationships shape current difficulties. Her way of working is collaborative. She listens to someone’s story, highlights strengths, and helps set small, practical steps to try between sessions.
Narrative techniques are used to reframe unhelpful self-stories and open up new possibilities. People meet with her by video, phone, live chat or text messaging. She will work with each person to choose approaches and formats that suit their goals and daily life.

Sessions & fees
Approach-driven therapy delivered online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice painful thoughts without getting trapped by them and then take action that matches their values. It is useful for anxiety, stress and times when someone feels stuck. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy focuses on spotting and changing patterns of thinking and behaviour that keep problems going, which can reduce symptoms and improve day-to-day coping. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship experiences affect current connections and emotional reactions, and it can help with trust, closeness and repeating old patterns.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences and then try methods that fit. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are made as therapy progresses so the plan stays useful and realistic.
Online therapy offers flexibility in how people meet. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat supports written back-and-forth in the moment, and text messaging is useful for brief check-ins between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, childcare and daily life while still using evidence-based approaches and registered or accredited professionals.
