About Tasneem

Tasneem Fataar is an AASW social worker with five years' experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, low self-esteem and other concerns listed in her practice. Tasneem also helps with family of origin issues and problems that trace back to childhood patterns.

She prefers a straightforward way of working. Sessions focus on what the person wants to change and on practical steps to get there. Tasneem uses approaches such as CBT and ACT to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviours.

Tasneem pays attention to attachment and relationship patterns. She talks with clients about how early connections can shape current reactions. Conversations look at roles people learned in their family and how those roles show up now.

Her work includes managing grief, coping with life changes, addiction concerns, and issues around intimacy and identity. Tasneem also supports people struggling with sleep, eating, caregiving stress and chronic illness effects. She will discuss priorities and make a focused plan together.

Sessions aim to be collaborative and practical. Tasneem reviews progress and adjusts the plan as needed. People who prefer clear tools and behavioural steps often find this approach helpful.

To begin, clients use the online matching process and book an initial session. Tasneem works in English and does not take international clients at this time.

Therapeutic approaches and remote sessions

Tasneem uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Attachment-Based ideas in her work. ACT helps people notice difficult thoughts and choose actions that matter to them, which can suit anxiety, depression and values-based changes. Attachment-based ideas focus on how early relationships shaped patterns of closeness and distance, and this can help with relationship stress and family of origin concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, try a method, and adjust based on what feels useful. Clients and therapist make those decisions collaboratively as progress becomes clear.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. When offered, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Some people prefer a video meeting for face-to-face conversation, while others choose audio for lower bandwidth or brief phone-style sessions. Discuss format preferences during the initial matching and scheduling step to find what suits everyday life.
