About Rani
Rani Sagar is a Humanistic psychotherapeutic counsellor registered with the BACP and has four years of practice in the United Kingdom. She works with relationship issues, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, stress and anxiety, and practical life changes that often affect young adults. She also supports people facing addiction, LGBT-related concerns, intimate issues, eating and sleeping problems, parenting stress and career worries.
Rani uses a pluralistic, client-centred approach that draws on several methods. That means she begins by listening to what matters most to the person in front of her and then adapts the style of sessions to fit those goals. This can include attachment-focused work to look at how early relationships influence current patterns, practical skills from Dialectical Behaviour Therapy for managing intense emotions, or mindfulness and somatic ideas to notice how feelings show up in the body.
In sessions she aims to help people name patterns, try different responses, and build clearer ways of relating to themselves and others. Conversations are direct and paced to what each person needs. Rani explains ideas in plain language and focuses on what can be done between sessions as well as in them.
Her background in humanistic counselling shapes a non-judgemental stance and emphasis on personal meaning. Over the past four years she has worked with a wide range of concerns including attachment and abandonment issues, body image, chronic illness, caregiver stress, codependency and issues around commitment and communication.
Sessions are carried out in English and Rani accepts international clients. People interested are asked to use the online matching process to book an initial appointment and discuss session arrangements.
How Rani blends approaches for online work
Rani combines Attachment-Based ideas with client-centred methods and elements of Dialectical Behaviour Therapy in her work. Attachment-focused work looks at how early relationship patterns shape present behaviour and helps people identify recurring dynamics. Client-centred work puts the person's concerns and goals at the centre, with conversations guided by what matters most to them. DBT skills teach practical techniques for managing intense emotions, tolerating distress and improving interpersonal effectiveness.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. The therapist will work together with the client to decide which ideas to use based on needs, goals and preferences. That collaborative step happens in early sessions and may be adjusted over time as things change.
The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around studies, shifts, or travel and can reduce time spent on commuting. It also allows for shorter check-ins or sessions that do not require video if that better suits the person's day. Registered or accredited professionals can discuss practical arrangements when scheduling to help sessions fit into everyday life.
