Rani Sagar

Rani Sagar is a humanistic psychotherapeutic counsellor who works with feelings, behaviours and relationships to help people make sense of their experiences. She uses a person-focused way of working that aims to build trust and promote greater self-awareness and self-acceptance. Rani holds BACP accreditation, which appears as BACP, and brings four years of professional experience.

Rani follows a pluralistic approach, which means she draws on a few different therapies to match what each person needs. That might mean using attachment ideas to look at how relationships affect feelings. It could also include mindfulness practices to manage stress and anxiety, or DBT skills for strong emotions such as anger.

Sessions are conversational and practical. Rani listens, checks what matters most to the person, and then tries options that fit that person’s life. She encourages learning small skills and noticing patterns that keep problems going, then testing new ways of responding.

Rani has worked with a wide range of concerns including relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, addictions, LGBT concerns, parenting strain, eating and sleeping issues, and anger. She also supports people dealing with chronic illness, caregiver stress, body image worries and career pressures.

Her aim is to help people feel more empowered and able to make choices that suit their values. To begin, she invites people to talk about what they want to change and to try out practical steps together.

How Rani’s approaches translate to online sessions

Rani commonly draws on attachment-based ideas, client-centred therapy and mindfulness in her practice. Attachment-based work looks at how early and current relationships shape emotional patterns and can help with relationship stress, abandonment fears and intimacy concerns. Client-centred therapy focuses on a respectful, non-judgemental conversation that helps people clarify their own goals and values. Mindfulness therapy uses simple attention and breathing practices to reduce anxiety and improve emotional regulation.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The counsellor will talk with each person about their goals, preferences and what has worked before. Together they decide which methods to try, and adjust the plan as progress is made or priorities change.

The original biography does not list specific online formats, so please confirm available session types before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, cut out travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Some people find video allows richer face-to-face discussion, while phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists can help clients weigh these practical options during the initial matching and scheduling process.
