About Tasneem
AASW. Tasneem Fataar has five years of counselling experience and works from a person-centred perspective while drawing on a range of evidence-based approaches. She helps people with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy-related concerns, addiction, grief, eating and sleeping problems, ADHD and compassion fatigue.
Tasneem adapts her approach to each person's needs and works collaboratively to plan practical steps. She uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy among other methods to address thoughts, behaviours and values. Sessions focus on clear strategies and practical skills as well as exploring emotional patterns.
Her practice also addresses parenting strain, career pressures, body image and sexuality-related topics including LGBT and kink issues. She lists additional focus areas such as attachment issues, adoption and foster care, chronic illness, caregiver stress and blended family concerns. Trauma and abuse are included in her work, with attention to coping and recovery processes.
Tasneem uses techniques from Dialectical Behaviour Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy where suitable, alongside brief solution-focused methods and motivational interviewing. She also incorporates narrative and gestalt ideas depending on the presenting problem. This means sessions can include skills practice, behavioural experiments and reflective discussion.
Sessions are delivered in English from Australia. Costs vary with location and are managed through a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, select the See online counselling options button, complete the short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
Therapeutic approaches used in online counselling
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, depression and situations where people want clearer direction about what matters to them.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and teaches practical skills for changing patterns. It helps with anxiety, low mood, sleep and coping with stress.
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on relationship patterns and emotional bonds and can help with intimacy-related issues, abandonment and attachment difficulties.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss goals and preferences and together decide which methods suit a client's needs. This is a collaborative process that can change as progress is made.
If you plan to use online sessions, confirm the available session formats before booking as the biography does not specify which formats are provided. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into everyday life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also suit people who prefer not to be on camera or who need a lower-bandwidth option.
