About Tasneem
Tasneem Fataar is an AASW counsellor who works from a collaborative, emotion-focused stance. She aims to understand what someone is feeling and why, then helps them build practical steps to feel steadier. Her approach is warm and non-judgemental and she adapts plans to suit each person.
Tasneem spends time listening to the specific issues a person brings. She uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy alongside cognitive and acceptance-based tools to help people notice and shift painful patterns.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on feelings, thoughts and small behaviour changes that make day-to-day life easier. Her practice covers common worries such as anxiety, stress and depression as well as relationship strain, self-esteem and career questions. Tasneem also works with grief, trauma and addiction concerns, and supports people navigating changes like parenting, chronic illness or caring roles.
Tasneem draws on a mix of proven techniques: cognitive behavioural approaches, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, attachment-based ideas and client-centred listening. She also uses brief, solution-focused and narrative methods when those fit a person’s needs. This flexible mix helps keep work practical and focused on goals.
With five years of experience, Tasneem aims for clear, steady progress rather than quick fixes. She encourages small, manageable steps and checks in regularly on how a plan is working. People who want a thoughtful, emotion-focused counsellor may find her style calm and practical.

Online support
Emotion-focused and acceptance-based work online
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people connect with and understand their feelings so they can change unhelpful interaction patterns and reduce emotional pain. It can be useful for anxiety, relationship strain and intense emotional reactions.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) teaches practical ways to live with difficult thoughts while focusing on values-driven action. It is often used for anxiety, depression, stress and coping with life changes.
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape current responses and helps people build new, healthier ways of relating to themselves and others.
Tasneem works collaboratively to find the right mix of approaches for each person. She discusses goals and preferences up front, tries different methods where needed, and checks in often so the plan stays useful and relevant.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video sessions let you work face to face and use visual cues. Phone sessions suit lower bandwidth or when a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging are handy for ongoing support, brief check-ins or when typing feels easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, caring duties and daily life.
