About Tasneem
Tasneem Fataar is an AASW social worker with five years' experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, relationships, self-esteem, career worries, depression, addictions and parenting concerns. Sessions are offered in English and focus on practical ways to cope with everyday pressures.
Tasneem asks about what is happening now and what the person hopes will change. She and the client then plan short, actionable steps to try between sessions. Conversations are straightforward and aimed at reducing overwhelm and improving daily functioning.
She draws on several well-known approaches, including cognitive behavioural techniques and acceptance strategies. Tasneem also uses attachment-informed ideas to look at how past relationships influence current reactions. These methods are used to address grief, trauma, intimacy issues and stress related to caregiving or workplace demands.
Parents and adults who are juggling roles can expect help with sleep, eating concerns, anger and compassion fatigue. Tasneem also supports people navigating adoption, blended family issues, ageing and care responsibilities. She can talk through concerns linked to neurodiversity, sexual expression, and complex coping patterns such as codependency.
Tasneem tailors sessions to what a person can realistically do between meetings. She encourages small changes that add up over time. To begin, readers are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the site.
How sessions work
How these approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting overwhelmed by them and then choosing actions that fit personal values. It can help with anxiety, avoidance and adjusting to life changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and offers concrete strategies to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is often used for worry, low mood and sleep or eating problems. Attachment-Based Therapy attends to how early relationship patterns shape current reactions and can be useful when intimacy, abandonment or caregiving conflicts are central issues.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Tasneem will collaborate with each person to decide whether ACT, CBT, attachment-informed work or a mix is best for their goals. That discussion happens over the first few appointments and can be adjusted as needs change.
The therapist's biography does not list specific online formats, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into busy days, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and remove travel time so people can use a lunch break or quieter hour for a session. Appropriately qualified therapists can adapt exercises, homework and emotion-regulation practices to suit remote meetings and everyday routines.
