About Tasneem

Tasneem Fataar is a counsellor who works collaboratively with people to understand their feelings and challenges. She uses practical, evidence-informed approaches and focuses on tailoring each plan to the person in front of her.

She keeps sessions straightforward and conversational. Tasneem aims to create a non-judging space where people can talk about stress, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns and issues with self-esteem. She also supports people facing grief, trauma, addiction and intimacy-related difficulties, and helps those navigating career changes or compassion fatigue.

With five years' experience and AASW accreditation, Tasneem draws on several therapies to match what a client needs. She uses techniques from cognitive behavioural therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy to help people notice patterns and take steps that matter to them. Attachment-based and client-centred ideas guide how she attends to relationships and emotions in the room.

Sessions aim to be practical and goal-focused while also making space for emotion. Tasneem often blends short-term strategies with deeper work around attachment, identity and coping skills. She encourages small, achievable changes and checks in regularly to adapt the plan.

People considering therapy are invited to think about what they want to change and bring that to an initial conversation. Tasneem works in Australia and conducts sessions in English. She uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that reflect their values. It is useful for stress, anxiety, low mood and getting unstuck from avoidance. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying thoughts and behaviours that keep problems going and teaches practical strategies to change them, which can help with anxiety, depression and sleep difficulties. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns influence current connections and emotional reactions and can be useful for intimacy issues and relationship stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Tasneem aims to collaborate with each person to choose or blend methods that match their needs, goals and preferences. She will check in and adjust the plan as therapy progresses so the approach stays relevant and useful.

The original biography does not list specific online or in-person session formats. Please confirm current session options before booking. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people choose quieter surroundings and avoid being on camera at times if that helps them engage. Appropriately qualified therapists will discuss which format suits a person's goals and lifestyle during the first steps.
