Background and approach

He listens first to understand each person's story and strengths. From there he helps set clear, manageable goals and suggests everyday skills to try between sessions. Sessions are straightforward and tailored to what the client needs most.

His approach draws on several well-known therapies to match different needs. He may use Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to look at thoughts and behaviours, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to build willingness around difficult feelings, and Attachment-Based ideas to improve relationships. He also uses emotion-focused and client-centred ways of working when they suit the client.

Touqeer has worked in Australia for five years and supports people from diverse backgrounds. He speaks English and understands multicultural concerns, adoption and foster care issues, and men's mental health matters among other topics. Practical problem-solving and steady support are central to how he works.

People who choose to work with Touqeer can expect a calm, direct style and help turning hard moments into workable steps. He invites each person to set the pace and focuses on skills that can be used in day-to-day life.

How Touqeer adapts therapy online and by approach

Touqeer commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy in online work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice and make room for difficult feelings while choosing actions that matter to them. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact and teaches practical strategies to change unhelpful patterns.

He approaches online therapy collaboratively, so the first few sessions focus on finding the right mix of approaches. He will talk through your goals and preferences and adapt methods if something does not feel like a good fit. The aim is to choose techniques that suit your situation and to adjust them as progress is made.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging, which makes it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits shorter check-ins and text-based messaging helps when written reflection is preferred. These options give flexibility for different schedules, energy levels and communication styles.
