About Maisha
Dr. Maisha Murshed is a HCPC registered clinical psychologist based in the United Kingdom. She draws on eight years of experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, relationship strains, family concerns, trauma and abuse, and parenting challenges.
She aims to make the first step feel manageable and straightforward for worried parents and carers. She works from the view that people know their lives best. Sessions focus on identifying strengths and using them to face difficult situations.
Background and approach
The work is practical and grounded, with clear steps to try between meetings. Her approach brings in ideas from Systemic therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, among other methods, to look at patterns in relationships and how thoughts and values shape choices. She also uses attachment-informed perspectives to understand how past relationships affect current connections.
In practice, conversations are calm and focused. She helps people talk through communication problems, blended family tensions, parenting strain, and issues like abandonment or attachment worries. She also addresses trauma-related symptoms and things such as body image, eating concerns, and feelings of emptiness.
Dr Murshed aims to support parents and individuals to find more clarity and agency. She works collaboratively to set goals and checks in on progress. The emphasis is on small, doable changes that lead to steadier family relationships and reduced day-to-day stress.

Online support
Practical therapeutic approaches for online family and relationship work
Systemic therapy looks at how people relate to one another and how behaviour fits inside family and relationship patterns. It helps spot repeating dynamics and find new ways of interacting that reduce conflict and ease day-to-day strain.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without letting them dictate actions. It focuses on values and small committed steps so people can move towards what matters, even when emotions are strong.
Attachment-based work examines how early connections shape current relationships. This perspective can clarify why communication breaks down or why some parenting moments feel especially triggering, and it guides more supported ways of relating.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk through your situation, goals and preferences and recommend what to try first. That choice can change as progress is made, and sessions stay collaborative throughout.
Online therapy here uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video lets people read facial cues and body language, phone calls use less bandwidth and can be easier on busy days, and messaging is useful for short check-ins or when writing helps clarify thoughts. These options make it easier to fit therapy around family life and other commitments.
