Tasneem Fataar, AASW

Tasneem Fataar is a counsellor who uses evidence-based therapies to help people manage stress, anxiety and life changes. She draws on practical methods so conversations stay focused and useful. Tasneem aims to create a non-judgemental space where people can talk through difficult feelings and plan next steps.

With five years of experience Tasneem works collaboratively to build a personalised plan. She adapts that plan as needs change and keeps sessions goal-oriented. Her approach is flexible to suit different concerns, from relationship and career stress to grief and addiction.

Tasneem uses a mix of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy alongside attachment-informed work. These approaches guide practical skills for day-to-day coping and for shifting unhelpful patterns over time. Sessions can include mindfulness exercises, values-based goal setting and problem solving.

Her additional focus areas include caregiver stress, chronic illness, ageing and geriatric issues, ADHD and adoption-related concerns. Tasneem also supports people navigating intimacy, body image and identity questions within LGBT contexts. She brings trauma-aware practices when past harm affects current wellbeing.

People who choose Tasneem can expect straightforward conversation, active listening and concrete strategies to try between sessions. Her style balances warmth with a focus on skills and achievable changes. To begin, readers are invited to check the Start Therapy button and follow the matching steps to schedule a session.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to clarify their values and take small steps towards them while learning to sit with difficult thoughts. It can help with anxiety, depression and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on practical skill building - identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new behaviours to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at relationship patterns and how early bonds influence current connections, which can be useful for intimacy issues and relationship stress.

Finding the right approach is collaborative. Tasneem will work with each person to choose or combine methods based on their goals, preferences and the issues they bring. She adapts plans over time so the work remains relevant and manageable.

The original biography does not list specific session formats for online work, so please confirm available options before booking. Many people find online sessions helpful because they can fit therapy around work and caregiving, reduce travel time and make it easier to follow up consistently. Online work also suits people who want focused skill practice, shorter check-ins, or sessions that can fit into a busy day. Appropriately qualified or registered therapists can use these approaches effectively through remote sessions, and Tasneem will discuss what will best suit each person's circumstances.
