Tasneem Fataar

Tasneem Fataar is an AASW social worker who focuses on practical, collaborative counselling. She aims to understand what a person is going through and to build a plan that fits their life. Tasneem keeps sessions straightforward and non-judgemental so people can talk honestly about stress, anxiety, relationships and other concerns.

Tasneem has five years of clinical experience working with issues such as depression, addictions, grief and trauma and abuse. She also helps with self-esteem, career strain, intimacy-related issues and challenges linked to ADHD. Tasneem’s practice includes support for people navigating parenting, caregiving stress, chronic illness and changes related to ageing.

Her work draws on approaches like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy. She adapts methods to each person, combining techniques to match goals and preferences. Sessions aim to teach skills for managing emotions, improving relationships and coping with life changes.

Tasneem describes her style as warm and practical. She encourages small steps and real-life experiments so progress can be noticed between sessions. People who want clear, collaborative counselling often find this useful.

Sessions are conducted in English and are based in Australia. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a time that suits both parties. Tasneem works with each person to adjust the plan as needs evolve.

How therapy approaches translate to online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to notice thoughts and values, then take small actions that match what matters to them; it can help with anxiety, depression and motivation. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new behaviours to reduce distress and improve routines like sleep and eating. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and can be useful for intimacy issues and relationship concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and day-to-day realities and then suggest which methods to try. This is a collaborative process and the plan can change as progress is made or needs shift.

The original biography does not specify which online formats are offered, so confirm session options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments around work, caregiving and other commitments. It can also allow for shorter check-ins when needed, reduce travel time and offer more flexible scheduling. Appropriately qualified therapists adapt exercises and homework to suit an online rhythm and will help choose formats that suit personal routines and technical comfort.
