About Tasneem
Tasneem Fataar is a counsellor who blends practical therapy methods with a calm, non-judgemental presence. She draws on five years of experience and works to understand each person’s experience before planning a way forward. Tasneem prefers straightforward conversations.
She asks about what feels most urgent and helps people set small, achievable goals. Sessions are adaptable and shaped around the person’s needs rather than a fixed script. Her work often addresses stress, anxiety and depression, and she supports people facing relationship concerns, low self-esteem and career stress.
How Tasneem works
She also helps with grief, trauma and substance-related issues, as well as intimacy and sexual culture matters including BDSM and kink. Tasneem uses evidence-based approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy. She draws on elements from Dialectical Behaviour Therapy and client-centred practice to build coping skills and improve emotional awareness.
People with long-term health conditions, caregiving stress, adoption or foster care questions, neurodiversity concerns and body image issues will find relevant experience in her background. She also supports those experiencing compassion fatigue, anger, sleep or eating difficulties, and ADHD-related challenges. Tasneem practices in Australia and offers sessions in English.
Her aim is to create a supportive space where people feel listened to and can try practical steps toward change.

Online support options
How Tasneem's approaches work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and then choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, stress and life changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviours to reduce symptoms of depression and anxiety. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in close relationships, helping people understand how early bonds influence how they connect now and how to build healthier ways of relating.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Tasneem will talk with each person about their goals, preferences and what has or hasn't helped before. Together they decide which strategies to try and adjust them as needed throughout therapy in a collaborative way.
Online sessions can make therapy more flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when distance or time is an issue. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in, while live chat and text messaging can suit those who prefer writing or need to fit support around work and family. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent and to practise new skills between sessions.
