About Tasneem
Tasneem Fataar is an AASW social worker who focuses on practical, person-centred counselling. She aims to understand what a person is dealing with and works with them to build a plan that fits their life and goals. Tasneem keeps sessions non-judgemental and respectful so people can speak openly about difficult issues.
Tasneem uses a mix of well-established therapeutic approaches. She draws on cognitive behavioural techniques to help with unhelpful thinking and acceptance and commitment ideas to support values-based change. Attachment-informed work and client-centred listening shape how she responds in the room.
Her day-to-day practice includes helping people cope with stress, anxiety, depression and relationship and intimacy-related concerns. She also supports those facing grief, career stress, compassion fatigue, addiction issues, ADHD and the challenges of living with health problems or long-term conditions.
Tasneem adapts plans as needs change. She uses focused strategies such as brief solution-focused work, motivational interviewing and narrative techniques when these match a person’s goals. Trauma-informed practice guides work with past harm and complex histories.
With five years of experience, Tasneem aims for straightforward, collaborative sessions. She helps people build skills for daily life, manage emotions and make decisions that feel right for them. To start, people complete a short questionnaire and arrange sessions based on availability.

How Tasneem's approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values. It is useful for anxiety, low mood and adapting to chronic health challenges. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns, which can ease symptoms of anxiety, depression and sleep problems. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to relationship patterns and how early bonds shape current intimacy and trust, which can help with relationship stress and attachment issues.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Tasneem works with each person to decide which methods suit their goals, preferences and everyday life. She adapts techniques as therapy progresses and checks in regularly to make sure the work still fits.
Please confirm current session options before booking as formats are not specified in the biography. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let someone join from a quieter setting, avoid camera use if preferred, or schedule sessions around work and caregiving responsibilities. Appropriately qualified therapists can use these advantages to help people maintain consistency and build practical skills between sessions.
