About Tasneem

Tasneem Fataar approaches therapy with warmth and a focus on genuine connection, taking time to understand each client's experiences, emotions, and challenges. She works collaboratively to assess individual needs and co-create a personalised plan that fits the person rather than applying a one-size-fits-all approach. Tasneem remains flexible in treatment, adjusting methods and goals as progress unfolds to ensure the plan continues to serve the client effectively.

She is committed to providing a supportive, non-judgemental space where people can share their stories without stigma. Tasneem employs a range of evidence-based therapeutic tools, drawing on approaches such as cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), mindfulness-based cognitive therapy, strengths-based and brief solution-focused strategies, motivational interviewing, narrative therapy, trauma-informed practice, gestalt therapy, and crisis intervention. This blend of methods supports work on issues from anxiety and depression to relationship, trauma, and life-change challenges, with an emphasis on practical, focused psychological strategies that fit each client’s priorities.

Therapeutic Approaches and Flexible Online Support

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify personal values and build psychological flexibility - it supports work on anxiety, depression, and life transitions by encouraging actions that align with what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviours to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning, making it useful for anxiety, mood concerns, and coping with stressful situations. Attachment-Based Therapy explores patterns in close relationships and how early bonds influence current attachment styles, which can be helpful for relationship difficulties, intimacy issues, and trauma-related concerns.

Tasneem works collaboratively with each person to determine which approach or combination of approaches best fits their needs, goals, and preferences. Finding the right therapeutic method is part of the process - she will adapt and refine the plan with the client to ensure the approach remains helpful and relevant.

Online therapy with Tasneem offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call or phone, and live chat or text-based messaging provides other ways to communicate between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, maintain continuity of care during transitions, and access support from wherever the client is located within Australia.
