About Tasneem
Tasneem Fataar is an AASW counsellor who focuses on thoughts and everyday habits to help people manage stress, anxiety and life changes. She aims to build clear, practical plans with each person she sees. Conversations are straightforward and non-judgemental, with attention to what feels realistic in day-to-day life.
Tasneem adapts therapeutic approaches to match each person's needs and preferences. Sessions start with understanding current routines, thinking patterns and what gets in the way of goals. From there she and the client shape small, achievable steps to try between meetings.
Her work covers a wide range of concerns including relationships, self-esteem, career questions, grief, trauma and addiction. Tasneem also supports people with sleep or eating issues, ADHD, compassion fatigue and intimacy-related worries. She pays attention to how thoughts and habits link to emotions and behaviour.
With five years' experience, Tasneem blends practical strategies from cognitive behavioural approaches with acceptance and mindfulness ideas. She keeps plans flexible so they can be adjusted as progress is made or life changes. The emphasis is on learning useful skills rather than on labels.
Tasneem creates a calm space for people to talk through difficult topics like abandonment, attachment issues, chronic illness and caregiving stress. She works collaboratively and respects each person's story while focusing on small, manageable changes that fit into everyday life.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online support
Tasneem often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy in her work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and decide what matters most, then take small actions that align with those values. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy looks at thinking patterns and habits, and teaches practical strategies to change behaviours that keep problems going.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Tasneem will discuss different options and work with a client to choose methods that fit their goals, preferences and daily routine. She adjusts plans over time if something isn’t working or circumstances change.
The biography does not specify which online session formats are used, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, shorten commute time and allow for quicker check-ins when needed. It can also let people practise skills in their usual environments and bring real-life examples into sessions for immediate discussion.
