About Tasneem
Tasneem Fataar is an AASW social worker who focuses on practical, person-centred care. She listens for what matters most to each person and helps them build a plan that fits their life. Tasneem aims to create a non-judgemental space where people can speak openly about stress, grief, sleep problems and other concerns.
She draws on approaches such as cognitive behavioural therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy to help people notice patterns and try small, manageable changes. Tasneem also uses attachment-based and client-centred ideas to understand relationship and intimacy-related issues. Her work addresses anxiety, depression, addictions, career strain and many everyday challenges.
With five years of experience Tasneem adapts sessions to what the person needs at the time. She uses brief, focused strategies when someone needs quick relief and longer conversations when deeper work is required. Her style is straightforward, compassionate and hopeful.
Tasneem has additional interest in areas like ADHD, trauma and bereavement, and she helps people navigate parenting strain and caregiver stress. She also supports people dealing with body image, eating concerns and relationship conflict.
Clients are guided to set realistic goals and try practical exercises between sessions. Tasneem explains tools clearly and checks in about what is or isn’t working. She invites people to pick up the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule a session to begin.
Approaches that translate well to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then move toward the values that matter. It is useful for anxiety, stress and sleep disturbances because it focuses on small, value-driven actions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) breaks down unhelpful patterns into links between thoughts, feelings and actions, and provides practical exercises to alter those patterns; it often helps with insomnia, worry and low mood. Attachment-Based Therapy attends to how early and current relationships shape feelings and behaviour, and can be helpful for intimacy-related issues and relationship strain.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their concerns, goals and preferences and then suggest methods to try. That plan can be adjusted over time, so the choice of approach remains collaborative and responsive to what helps most.
Confirm current session formats before booking since the biography does not list specific online options. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people try exercises at home and bring real-life situations into sessions without promising particular formats or outcomes.
