About Tasneem

Tasneem Fataar is an AASW social worker who focuses on practical, person-centred counselling. She aims to understand each person's experience and to build a plan together that suits their life. Tasneem keeps sessions non-judgemental and adaptable so people can speak openly about difficult feelings.

She uses a mix of well‑established approaches such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. Tasneem also draws on attachment-based and client-centred ideas to help people make sense of relationship patterns, self‑worth and grief. These methods are selected to match the problem at hand rather than applied in a fixed way.

Tasneem works with a broad range of concerns including stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy issues, addictions, trauma and grief. She also supports people with codependency, ADHD, body image and parenting strain. Her aim is to help people find clearer choices and more manageable ways to cope.

With five years of clinical experience, Tasneem adapts her approach as people progress. She uses plain language and practical exercises so sessions feel useful from the first meeting. People can expect a collaborative pace, with goals and techniques reviewed as needed.

Sessions are offered in English from Australia. Tasneem asks clients to complete a short matching questionnaire to begin and to schedule sessions according to her availability. The subscription used for sessions can be cancelled at any time.

How Tasneem’s approaches translate to online counselling

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and commit to meaningful actions. It is often used for anxiety, depression and issues like codependency where values and behaviour matter. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings and actions and uses practical exercises to change patterns that cause distress. It is useful for stress, sleep problems, low mood and eating concerns. Attachment‑based therapy focuses on relationship patterns and how early connections shape current behaviour, which can help with intimacy, grief and attachment issues.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try methods that fit their needs, and adjust the plan as therapy progresses. Clients are invited to give feedback so the work remains relevant and practical.

The practical benefits of online therapy include easier fitting of sessions into busy lives and reduced travel time. Online work can allow shorter check‑ins when that better suits a day or phone sessions when lower bandwidth is needed. Because the biography does not specify exact session formats, confirm current session options before booking to know what is offered and how they fit your routine.
