Dr. Maisha Murshed, HCPC

Dr. Maisha Murshed is a HCPC registered clinical psychologist in the United Kingdom with eight years of professional experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, family challenges, trauma and abuse, and parenting concerns. She works from a strengths-based perspective, believing that each person is the expert of their own life and already carries resources that can be used to move through difficult moments. Her practice focuses on helping clients build clearer communication, address attachment and abandonment concerns, and navigate complex family dynamics such as blended households, separation, and caregiving strain.

Dr. Murshed combines established psychological methods with a collaborative stance to empower clients to pursue more fulfilling and manageable lives. She highlights the courage it takes to seek change and offers guidance and support as clients take the first steps toward their goals. As a HCPC registrant - meaning she is recognised by the Health and Care Professions Council in the UK - she brings professional training and clinical experience to each therapeutic relationship. Sessions aim to identify practical strategies and personal insights that fit the client s needs and values, with an emphasis on respectful, goal-oriented work.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, often called ACT, helps people clarify what matters most to them and learn practical ways to accept difficult feelings while taking steps toward meaningful goals. It is useful for managing anxiety, stress, and persistent unhelpful thinking patterns. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on relationships and early connection patterns, exploring how past attachment experiences influence current partnerships, parenting, and feelings of abandonment or emptiness; it supports rebuilding trust and improving emotional bonds. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, offers structured techniques to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, making it effective for anxiety, low mood, and coping with everyday stresses.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Dr. Maisha Murshed works collaboratively with clients to select methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors interventions and adjusts the plan as therapy unfolds so clients feel involved in shaping their care.

Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging provides flexibility for people with busy schedules, caregiving responsibilities, or mobility limits. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of support, attend sessions from wherever is most convenient, and access regular contact that fits into everyday life.
