Tasneem Fataar

Tasneem Fataar is an AASW counsellor who focuses on practical, person-centred therapy. She aims to understand what each person is going through and helps them find realistic steps forward. Her approach is calm and non-judgemental, with simple tools people can use between sessions.

She works with stress, anxiety, depression and anger, and supports people dealing with relationship strain and self-esteem concerns. Tasneem also helps with grief, trauma and addiction-related issues, plus life changes like career shifts or parenting stresses. Her practice includes attention to ADHD, compassion fatigue and intimacy-related worries.

Tasneem uses a mix of well-known therapy approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy. She adapts these methods to each person, building a plan together that fits their life and goals. Sessions often focus on clear strategies and small behaviour changes.

Over five years she has worked with a broad range of concerns including body image, chronic illness, adoption and foster care issues, and neurodiversity topics like autism. She describes her role as collaborative and practical, helping clients notice patterns and try different ways of coping. The emphasis is on steady progress rather than quick fixes.

Tasneem aims to create a supportive space where people can talk openly without judgement. She regularly reviews and adjusts plans to suit changing needs, and encourages straightforward skills people can practise between meetings.

How different approaches can work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to notice difficult thoughts and feelings and then take actions that match their values. It can help with anxiety, anger and life changes by focusing on what matters rather than just trying to stop thoughts. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and teaches practical skills for changing unhelpful patterns. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, sleeping problems and behavioural habits. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people develop more secure ways of relating, which can be useful for intimacy and relationship concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. Tasneem works together with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That collaborative process means approaches can be mixed or adjusted as needs change over time.

The practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy life, reducing travel time and making it easier to continue work during transitions. Because session formats are not specified in the biography, confirm current options before booking to know what is available. Appropriately qualified therapists can offer short check-ins, longer weekly sessions or work that focuses on skills practice between meetings, which helps therapy fit into everyday routines.
