About Tasneem
Tasneem Fataar is an AASW counsellor who focuses on practical, evidence-based therapy. She aims to understand what a person is going through and to work with them to build a plan that fits their life. Her approach is calm and non-judgemental, and she makes space for honest conversation about difficult feelings.
She uses a mix of therapies such as cognitive behavioural therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression and addictions. Sessions also address relationship concerns, self-esteem, grief, trauma and intimacy-related issues. Tasneem adapts methods as needed so the work stays relevant to each person.
Her five years of experience include supporting people with ADHD, compassion fatigue, career strain and parenting stress. She also helps clients facing chronic illness, caregiving pressures and body image concerns. Tasneem works with people from LGBTQ backgrounds and those navigating adoption, abandonment or blended family dynamics.
Tasneem aims to keep therapy straightforward and goal-oriented. Early sessions focus on understanding what matters most and setting small steps to try between meetings. Progress is reviewed and plans are adjusted so the work remains useful.
People who choose Tasneem can expect a conversational style that blends practical skills with space to explore feelings. She invites clients to collaborate on goals and to bring real-life issues to each session. This helps therapy fit into everyday life and the challenges that come with it.

How Tasneem’s approaches translate to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and choose actions that fit their values. It is often used for anxiety, low mood and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and practising different ways of responding to reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current connections and can help with intimacy and relationship concerns.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Tasneem will talk with each person about what they want to achieve and suggest methods that match those goals. That decision is made together and can be adjusted as therapy progresses to keep the focus practical and relevant.
Please confirm which online formats are available before booking, as the profile does not list specific session types. Many people find online sessions useful because they can fit meetings around work or caregiving, choose shorter check-ins when time is limited, or avoid travel on busy days. Appropriately qualified therapists can adapt ACT, CBT and attachment-focused tools to an online setting so clients can practise skills and review progress between sessions.
