About Tasneem
Tasneem Fataar is an AASW social worker who focuses on practical, person-centred therapy. She aims to understand each person's feelings and struggles, then work with them to build a plan that fits their life. Tasneem keeps sessions respectful and non-judgemental so people feel able to talk honestly.
Tasneem uses a mix of evidence-based approaches, including cognitive behavioural techniques and acceptance and commitment strategies. She adapts methods to each person's needs and adjusts the plan as progress is made.
Background and approach
This flexibility helps when concerns change or new issues come up. Her practice covers common worries such as stress, anxiety and depression. She also supports people dealing with relationship difficulties, low self-esteem, grief, trauma, career stress, addictions and intimacy-related issues.
Phobias are among the specific areas she addresses. Tasneem also works with issues like ADHD, caregiver stress, chronic illness, body image, and the complex feelings that come from adoption or abandonment. She draws on attachment-focused ideas to help people understand patterns in relationships and connection.
Sessions are collaborative and straightforward. Tasneem listens, offers ways to try new behaviours, and helps set small steps toward goals. Her aim is to help people build useful skills they can use outside sessions.
Therapeutic approaches for online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, avoidance and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and changing behaviours that keep problems going, which helps with anxiety, depression and phobias. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current connections and helps people try new ways of relating when those old patterns cause pain.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Tasneem will talk through goals and preferences and suggest methods suited to the issue and the person’s style. Together they will try strategies, review what helps, and change course if needed so the plan stays practical and relevant.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to fit different days and routines. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be useful when bandwidth is low or a quicker check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging let people write through issues or have shorter, flexible exchanges during busy weeks. These formats make it easier to keep continuity of care and to fit therapy into real life.
