About Tasneem
Tasneem Fataar is an AASW social worker who blends talk and body-based ways of working to help people feel steadier. She focuses on how emotions show in the body and uses that awareness alongside practical strategies to manage stress, anxiety and relationships. Tasneem spends time getting to know each person’s story and current challenges.
She treats sessions as a collaboration and helps clients set clear, realistic goals. Plans are adjusted as needed so the work stays useful and grounded in everyday life.
Background and approach
Her practice covers a wide range of concerns including depression, grief, addictions, intimacy issues and career strain. She also supports people navigating trauma, attachment challenges, burnout and ADHD-related struggles. Tasneem will attend to wellbeing matters such as sleep, eating and coping with major life changes.
The clinical approach draws on somatic ideas and evidence-based therapies like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy. Sessions can include breath, movement awareness and gentle body-focused noticing alongside cognitive and behavioural tools. She brings five years of experience and aims to make the room calm and non-judgemental.
Tasneem explains techniques in plain language and helps clients practise them between sessions. Her goal is that people leave feeling more able to manage day-to-day demands and to connect with what matters to them.
Therapeutic approaches for online care
Somatic-informed therapy pays attention to how feelings and tension appear in the body. Online sessions can include guided breath awareness, body scanning and noticing physical cues to help reduce anxiety and ground the nervous system. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on values and small actions that matter most; it helps people take steps even when thoughts or emotions feel difficult. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in close relationships and supports people to build safer ways of relating and communicating.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Tasneem approaches therapy as a collaboration and will help clients decide which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences. Goals and techniques can be reviewed and adapted as progress is made.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. These options make therapy more flexible for people with busy schedules, mobility limits or geographic distance. They also let clients practise tools between sessions and check in in ways that suit their day-to-day life.
