About Rani

Rani Sagar is a Humanistic Psychotherapeutic Counsellor registered with the BACP, with four years of clinical work in the United Kingdom. She focuses on relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, anxiety and parenting concerns, among other life stresses. Sessions aim to help adults make sense of thoughts, feelings and behaviours and to find practical ways to cope.

Rani uses a pluralistic approach. That means she draws on several therapy styles and adapts them to what a person finds most helpful. She often blends attachment ideas, client-centred listening, DBT skills and mindfulness practices depending on the issue.

In sessions she helps people look at how they relate to themselves and others. Conversations cover patterns of thinking, emotional reactions and everyday routines that affect wellbeing. She also works with concerns such as body image, addictions, sleep and eating issues, and stress from caring roles.

Rani uses concrete tools alongside reflective conversation. That can include grounding exercises, emotion regulation skills and ways to notice repeating relationship patterns. Her aim is to offer clear strategies people can try between meetings.

She accepts clients from outside the UK and conducts therapy in English. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. Costs vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

How sessions work

How her approaches translate to online work

Attachment-based work focuses on patterns in close relationships. It looks at how early and current connections shape feelings and responses, which can help with intimacy-related issues and communication problems. Client-centred therapy emphasises listening and reflection. The counsellor offers a calm, non-directive presence while helping the person name their thoughts and feelings. Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, or DBT, teaches specific skills such as emotion regulation, distress tolerance and interpersonal effectiveness that people can practise between sessions.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the therapy process. The counsellor will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs with the client and agree which methods to try. That collaborative planning helps shape session content and home work in a way that fits the person’s life.

Session formats are not listed in the profile, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit meetings into daily routines, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also lets people use skills coaching and mindfulness exercises during ordinary days, so practice feels relevant to real life.
