About Tasneem
Tasneem Fataar is an AASW social worker with five years' experience supporting adults in Australia. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, self-esteem worries, career concerns, depression, addiction issues and anger. She also helps with grief, trauma, intimacy issues, sleep and eating difficulties, ADHD and the practical strains of life change.
Her practice focuses on a collaborative, person-centred process. Tasneem assesses what a client needs and together they build a plan. She adapts that plan as things change, using short-term strategies and longer-term approaches as required. Sessions aim to be direct and practical so people can use what they learn between meetings.
Tasneem draws on several evidence-informed methods. She uses cognitive behavioural ideas to spot patterns that keep problems going. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice thoughts and commit to actions that matter. She also works with attachment-based ideas to understand relationship patterns and DBT skills for emotional regulation.
Her work includes attention to specific life contexts such as adoption and foster care, caregiving stress, ageing issues, chronic illness and diverse sexual cultures including BDSM and kink. Tasneem supports people dealing with codependency, body image concerns, and the overlap of mental and physical health problems.
Sessions are practical and paced to fit busy lives. The practice asks people to complete a short questionnaire before a first meeting, which helps shape the initial plan and goals. Tasneem speaks English and works with adults in Australia.
How sessions work
How Tasneem uses ACT, CBT and attachment ideas online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and focus on actions that line up with their values. It can be useful for frustration, worry and when anger gets in the way of what matters. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and teaches practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. It suits work stress, anxiety and mood problems. Attachment-Based Therapy examines how early relationship patterns affect current connections and reactions, which can be helpful when anger shows up around close people.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Tasneem will work with the client to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences, and adjust the plan over time. This is collaborative and goal-focused, with early sessions often used to set clear, achievable steps.
The practice asks clients to confirm session formats before booking, so check the current options first. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also allow the use of practical worksheets and skill-building exercises between meetings to help manage anger and stress in daily life.
