Step 3
How her approaches translate to online counselling
Tasneem uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy in ways that suit day-to-day life. ACT focuses on values and small actions that move a person toward what matters most while helping them notice unhelpful thoughts. CBT breaks problems into thoughts, feelings and behaviours and teaches practical skills to change patterns that cause anxiety or low mood.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Tasneem will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, then adapt techniques to suit those needs. The process is collaborative and reviewed as progress is made.
