About Tasneem

Tasneem Fataar is an AASW social worker with five years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, depression and relationship or intimacy challenges. Tasneem also supports people facing career pressures, addictions, grief, trauma and money and financial issues in day-to-day life.

She works in plain language and aims to make sessions practical and easy to follow. Tasneem listens to what matters most to each person and then helps build a plan that fits their life. She adapts that plan as circumstances change and as progress is made.

Tasneem draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to address unhelpful thoughts and increase manageable action. She also uses Attachment-Based and Client-Centred ideas to repair connection and explore patterns that affect relationships and self-esteem.

People come to Tasneem for help with parenting strain, ADHD, body image and ongoing grief. She also supports those coping with chronic illness or caregiver stress. Her work often includes practical strategies for sleep, eating and anger management.

Tasneem aims to make the counselling space non-judgemental and stigma-free. New clients are guided through a short matching questionnaire and scheduling process to find a time that suits them. Sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

How Tasneem uses treatment approaches online

Tasneem often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and commit to actions that matter. ACT supports coping with anxiety, stress and life changes by clarifying values and building small steps forward.

She also draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to identify thought patterns and test them against daily experience. CBT is useful for depression, anxiety, sleep problems and practical issues like eating or anger management.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Tasneem will talk through options and tailor methods to a person's goals and preferences. That collaboration helps decide which techniques to try first and when to adapt the plan.

Session arrangements should be checked before booking, as formats are not listed here. Online or remote sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins during work breaks, or avoid travel time. They can also suit people who prefer not to be on camera or who need a lower-bandwidth option. Confirm the specific session types available when you book to make sure they meet your needs.
