About Tasneem
Tasneem Fataar is an AASW social worker with five years' experience counselling adults in Australia. She works with stress, anxiety, relationships, self-esteem, career concerns, depression, addictions, LGBT issues, trauma and grief. Tasneem helps people facing common early-adult pressures like career decisions, relationship changes and feeling behind in life.
She prefers a practical, straightforward way of working. Tasneem and the client map out goals together and adapt the plan as progress is made. Sessions focus on real-life tools and small steps that fit into busy daily routines.
Tasneem uses several evidence-based approaches. She draws on cognitive behavioural therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy to address unhelpful thoughts and build values-led action. Attachment-based work is used when relational patterns and intimacy concerns are central.
Her work also includes skills from dialectical behaviour therapy when strong emotions or impulsive behaviour are present. Many clients find this helpful for managing anger, sleep problems or impulse control linked to substance use or other addictive behaviours.
Tasneem also supports people dealing with complex backgrounds such as adoption, attachment issues, caregiving stress, chronic illness, neurodiversity, and BDSM or kink-related concerns. She keeps language clear and practical, and aims to make sessions useful between meetings.
To start, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. Costs vary with location and services use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.
Therapeutic approaches and how online sessions work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and choose actions that fit their values rather than getting stuck in unhelpful thinking. It can be useful for anxiety, low mood and decisions about work or relationships.Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early and current relationship patterns affect closeness and trust. It helps when intimacy issues, attachment concerns or relationship cycles are causing distress.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Tasneem will collaborate with the client to decide which methods fit best, based on goals and how someone prefers to work. That might mean mixing ACT, attachment work and practical CBT skills over several sessions.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into study or work schedules, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Discussing format early helps plan sessions that fit everyday life while working on skills for anxiety, sleep, relationships and self-regulation.
