About Maisha
Dr. Maisha Murshed uses evidence-informed talking therapies to help people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain and parenting challenges. She is a HCPC registered Clinical Psychologist with eight years of experience in the United Kingdom.
Her approach aims to make therapy practical and understandable for busy parents. Sessions with Dr Murshed focus on clear, workable steps. She listens to each person's story and helps them find actions that fit their life.
Background and approach
Common themes include family tensions, attachment worries, trauma and rebuilding routines after separation. She draws on several therapy styles to suit different needs. Techniques from cognitive behavioural therapy help with worrying thoughts and behaviour patterns.
Attachment-based ideas support people dealing with feelings around connection and abandonment. Narrative and psychodynamic perspectives are also used to look at personal stories and how past experiences shape current reactions. This can help people make sense of repeating patterns and change long-standing responses.
Dr Murshed aims to create a calm, straightforward space for problem solving. She encourages small experiments between sessions and practical strategies parents can try at home. The focus is on improving day-to-day functioning and relationships in ways that feel manageable.

Approaches that guide online parenting and stress work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It encourages action in line with personal values, which can help when parenting or daily stress feels overwhelming.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour. It offers practical strategies to reduce anxious thinking and to build more helpful routines for family life.
Attachment-Based Therapy explores patterns of connection and trust that affect relationships. This approach can be useful for people who worry about abandonment or repeating unhelpful relational patterns.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss your needs and try different methods to see what fits best. You and the therapist decide together which methods and goals feel most useful for your situation.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video sessions work well for deeper conversations, while phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat or messaging can suit short check-ins, brief coaching or when you need flexible timing. These options aim to make therapy easier to fit around parenting and work commitments.
