About Tasneem
Tasneem Fataar is an AASW social worker with five years' experience. She works with people who struggle with stress, anxiety, relationships, self-esteem and related concerns including social anxiety and phobia, depression, trauma, grief and addictions. She sees clients in Australia and offers sessions in English.
Tasneem aims to understand each person's experience and to build a practical plan together. She adapts that plan as circumstances change and as new issues come up. Sessions focus on clear steps people can try between meetings as well as talking through feelings and situations.
Her work draws on cognitive behavioural techniques and acceptance and commitment ideas to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different responses. She also uses attachment-based and client-centred approaches to explore how relationships and past experiences affect current behaviour. For people dealing with trauma or grief she includes trauma-informed practice and narrative methods.
Tasneem uses brief-solution focused techniques and motivational interviewing when someone needs faster, goal-directed work. She can also include mindfulness-based cognitive tools and elements of dialectical behaviour therapy when emotional regulation is a concern. This mix is selected to match the person and the problem rather than follow a single method.
Practical issues such as sleeping, eating, workplace stress or parenting strain are discussed alongside emotional patterns. People often leave sessions with small experiments to try and steps to manage day-to-day pressure. To start, clients complete a short questionnaire and then schedule a first session.
How Tasneem uses therapy approaches online
Tasneem commonly uses cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) in her work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing new behaviours to reduce distress. ACT supports noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and clarifying the values someone wants to live by.She also draws on attachment-based and client-centred ideas to explore how relationship patterns affect current difficulties. These approaches help when social situations, connection or interpersonal triggers are part of the problem. Choosing the right mix of methods is a collaborative process. Tasneem will discuss goals, preferences and everyday constraints and then agree a working plan with the person.
Details about session formats should be confirmed before booking. The profile indicates sessions are arranged via a matching and scheduling process rather than listing specific formats, so ask which options are offered at the time you book. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work, appointments and family responsibilities, and they can allow shorter check-ins when needed or camera-off options if that suits the person better.
