About Tasneem

Tasneem Fataar is an AASW social worker with five years' experience based in Australia. She works with people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, low self-esteem, career questions, depression, addictions and grief. Tasneem also supports those facing trauma, intimacy difficulties, eating and sleeping issues, parenting strain, anger and life changes.

Tasneem prefers practical, evidence-informed methods. She uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) alongside approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy. Sessions focus on naming feelings, noticing patterns, and trying small changes that can make daily life easier.

Her style is direct and collaborative. Tasneem and a client build a plan together, then adapt it as needs change. That can mean short-term focused work or slower work on relationships and attachment.

She also works with people dealing with adoption and foster care issues, attachment concerns, autism, caregiver stress, chronic illness and co-morbidity. Tasneem has experience helping people explore boundaries, coping skills and motivation for change.

Sessions are conducted in English and her fees vary by location. She uses a subscription model for sessions that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule their first session.

How Tasneem uses EFT, ACT and attachment ideas online

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people identify and name intense emotions and see how those feelings shape relationship patterns. It is useful when emotions feel confusing or when interaction cycles keep repeating. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and choosing actions that reflect personal values. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early bonds influence current ways of relating and can help people understand patterns with close others.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Tasneem will talk with a client about goals and preferences and then decide together which approach or combination to use. That collaborative step helps shape the pace and focus of online sessions.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Many clients find remote sessions easier to fit around work and caregiving, or useful for shorter check-ins when time is limited. Online work still allows for practical exercises, emotion-focused conversations and behavioural experiments that can be used between sessions to build new habits.
