About Tasneem
Tasneem Fataar is an AASW social worker with five years of clinical experience based in Australia. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, self-esteem issues, career pressures, depression, addictions, trauma and codependency-related patterns. Sessions are conducted in English and aimed at practical change.
Tasneem uses straightforward assessment to identify what a person wants to work on. She and the client develop a clear plan with steps that can be adjusted as needed. Conversations focus on behaviour, feelings, and the small changes that make daily life easier.
Her approach draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thinking, try new actions, and clarify personal values. Attachment-based ideas inform work around relationship patterns and intimacy-related issues. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are used when emotional regulation and distress tolerance are needed.
Tasneem also integrates client-centred listening and trauma-informed practices. That means practical strategies are paired with careful attention to a person’s history and current coping. She uses brief solution-focused tools and motivational interviewing when someone wants quicker, goal-oriented sessions.
People who struggle with people-pleasing, trouble saying no, or living around another person’s moods often seek her support. She helps clients practice boundary-setting, rebuild a sense of self, and manage cravings or compulsive caring behaviours. The focus is on concrete steps rather than labels.
To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and a first session scheduled. Costs vary with location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. International clients are not currently accepted.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online counselling
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify what matters to them and take committed steps towards those values. Online sessions using ACT often focus on noticing unhelpful thoughts, practicing acceptance, and planning small actions that fit day-to-day life. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at recurring patterns in relationships and how early experiences shape current responses. In online work this can mean mapping relationship dynamics, practising new ways of relating, and strengthening emotional connection with oneself. Finding the right approach is part of the work. Tasneem will collaborate with the client to decide which methods suit their goals, needs and preferences. That choice can change over time as progress is reviewed and practical needs shift. The therapist’s biography does not specify session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. They also let people try different pacing and session lengths to discover what helps most in everyday life.Areas of focus
