Tasneem Fataar, AASW

Tasneem Fataar is a clinician who focuses on understanding and connecting with the lived experiences, emotions, and challenges of each person she sees. With 5 years of clinical experience, she prioritises a thorough assessment of individual needs and collaborates with clients to build personalised plans that can be adjusted as treatment progresses.

She is committed to offering a non-judgemental, non-stigmatising space where people can share their stories and explore change at a pace that suits them. Tasneem uses evidence-based methods and focused psychological strategies to guide therapy, drawing on approaches such as cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), mindfulness-based cognitive therapy, strengths-based therapy, brief solution-focused therapy, motivational interviewing, narrative therapy, trauma-informed practice, gestalt therapy, and crisis intervention.

Tasneem holds the AASW credential, a social work accreditation, and applies these modalities flexibly to meet the unique goals of each client. Her practice emphasises collaboration, respect, and practical tools to help people manage stress, anxiety, relationship and self-esteem issues, career concerns, grief, trauma, addiction, and a range of other life challenges.

Approaches that guide online therapy and what to expect

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT helps people clarify their values and take committed action while learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings rather than fighting them). ACT can be helpful for stress, anxiety, depression, and situations where shifting perspective and values-based action is important.

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns in relationships that started early in life and explores how those patterns show up now. It supports people working through relationship difficulties, intimacy issues, abandonment concerns, and attachment-related trauma by building awareness and new ways of relating.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers practical skills to identify and change unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns. It is often used for anxiety, depression, coping with life changes, and improving everyday functioning.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Tasneem will work with clients to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and adapt techniques over time so therapy remains relevant and effective.

Online therapy with Tasneem is available via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility to fit different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, access support from home or work, and integrate therapy into a busy life while working with a licensed professional.
