About Tasneem
Tasneem Fataar is a counsellor who combines existential ideas with practical therapies to help people make sense of their lives. She focuses on what matters to each person and works with them to build a plan they can use day to day. Tasneem is an AASW social worker and brings five years of clinical experience to sessions.
She listens for what feels stuck or painful and helps people name those parts of their life.
Background and approach
Sessions tend to be straightforward and collaborative. Tasneem uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to create small, doable steps for change. Tasneem also draws on attachment-based and client-centred approaches.
These help people explore how relationships shape feelings and choices. She aims to keep the room non-judgemental and responsive to each person's history. Her areas of focus include stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy-related issues, grief, addictions and trauma and abuse.
She also supports people with self-esteem, career and parenting concerns and with neurodiversity related needs such as ADHD and autism. Tasneem adapts sessions to practical needs, offering video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. She supports exploration of values, coping strategies and clearer decision-making through short-term goals and reflective conversation.

Online support
Therapeutic approaches that suit online work
Existential therapy helps people explore meaning, responsibility and choice in their lives. It invites honest reflection about values and what matters most when life feels uncertain or overwhelming. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice painful thoughts without getting stuck in them and commit to actions that match their values; it is useful for anxiety, depression and stress. Attachment-based work looks at patterns in how people relate to others and helps them adjust those patterns so relationships feel safer and more satisfying.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of therapy. Tasneem works collaboratively to decide what feels most helpful based on a person’s goals, circumstances and preferences. Together they try methods, notice what changes, and adjust the plan as needed so sessions stay relevant and practical.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls are good for deeper conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit into a shorter break at work. Live chat and text-based messaging suit people who prefer written reflection or brief check-ins. These formats make it easier to attend sessions from different locations and times, and to keep therapy flexible around daily life.
