About Maisha

Dr. Maisha Murshed is a HCPC clinical psychologist practising in the United Kingdom. She draws on eight years of professional experience to help people manage stress, anxiety and panic-related problems. She also supports those facing relationship strain, family difficulties and the aftermath of trauma and abuse.

Her style is straightforward and collaborative. She works from the view that each person knows their own story and brings strengths to the work. Sessions focus on practical steps people can use between meetings as well as on making sense of difficult patterns.

Dr Murshed uses a mix of approaches to fit individual needs. That might mean looking at thoughts and behaviours with cognitive behavioural techniques, attending to attachment patterns from early relationships, or using narrative ideas to reframe painful experiences. She adapts the focus to the issue at hand, whether that is panic attacks, parenting strain or family conflict.

People can expect clear explanations of methods and simple tools to try at home. The work also explores how past experiences shape current difficulties, when helpful. This often helps people feel less alone with stress, anxiety and recurring relationship problems.

To start, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then arrange sessions according to the therapist's schedule. Pricing varies with location and uses a cancellable subscription model, so people can review cost before they continue.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to notice difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to actions that reflect their values. It can help with anxiety, panic symptoms and stress by focusing on small, value-led steps. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and teaches practical strategies to change unhelpful patterns, which can reduce panic episodes and avoidant behaviour. Attachment-Based Therapy examines how early relationships shape current ways of relating and can be useful when relationship or family patterns are causing distress.

Finding the right approach is part of the journey. The therapist will work collaboratively to decide which methods fit best with a person’s goals and preferences. That might mean trying a behavioural exercise one week and focusing on personal narrative the next, then reviewing what helps.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, for example by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins during a break, or enabling sessions from a quieter room. Registered professionals can adapt exercises and worksheets to suit remote appointments so practical skills remain part of the work.
