Tasneem Fataar, AASW

Tasneem Fataar is a counsellor with five years' experience who aims to make therapy practical and approachable. She works with people feeling stuck by stress, anxiety, relationships, career worries and the shifts that come with midlife. Tasneem uses straightforward conversation to help clients sort priorities and find manageable next steps.

She focuses on building a non-judgemental space where people can talk openly about trauma, grief, addictions, body image and intimacy-related concerns. Sessions also address parenting strain, compassion fatigue and the day-to-day problems that wear people down. Tasneem pays attention to how past attachments shape current relationships and coping styles.

Tasneem draws on several evidence-informed approaches to match what each person needs. She blends Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Attachment-Based ideas with client-centred ways of working. The plan is practical and flexible, adjusted as progress is made.

Her work often includes short-term strategies for anxiety and low mood, plus longer conversations about identity, boundaries and values. Tasneem also supports people with neurodiversity concerns, adoption and foster care histories, chronic illness, and complex grief. She explains techniques in plain language and helps people try them between sessions.

Tasneem holds AASW as her stated credential. She practices in Australia and runs sessions in English. To begin, clients complete a brief matching questionnaire so Tasneem can understand their goals and plan next steps together.

How Tasneem’s approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice what matters to them and take small actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, low mood and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking and trying new behaviours to reduce distress. It often suits people wanting clear strategies for anxiety, sleep or eating concerns. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships affect current patterns and helps people build different ways of relating and feeling safer in relationships.

Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the work. Tasneem collaborates with each person to choose which methods to use, and adjusts the plan as goals and needs change. The aim is to match technique to the person rather than force a single model.

The practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into busy days and reducing travel time. If you prefer a shorter check-in during a lunch break or need to juggle work and family, online options can make that easier. The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm available formats before booking. Appropriately qualified or registered therapists can still use these approaches effectively in remote sessions, and Tasneem will help work out what suits your routine and goals.
