About Rani
Rani Sagar is a Humanistic psychotherapeutic counsellor who focuses on helping people understand their thoughts, feelings and behaviours. She uses a warm, person-centred style to build trust so clients can feel heard and begin to change unhelpful patterns. Her work is practical and down-to-earth, aimed at helping people feel more confident and self-accepting.
She draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current ways of relating. That can help with intimacy issues, abandonment worries and attachment problems.
Background and approach
Rani also uses aspects of Dialectical Behaviour Therapy to teach emotion regulation skills when stress, anger or mood swings feel overwhelming. A client-centred stance means sessions follow what matters most to the person in the room. Rani listens and reflects, then offers techniques suited to each situation.
Mindfulness practices and somatic awareness are used when noticing body sensations helps reduce anxiety or improve sleep. Her work covers a wide range of concerns including relationship problems, grief, depression, anxiety, addictions, LGBT issues, parenting pressures and career stress. She also supports people facing chronic illness, caregiving strain, body image and eating concerns, and compassion fatigue.
Rani is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She has four years of clinical experience working with diverse problems. Sessions are available in English and she accepts international clients via online formats.

Approaches that suit online therapy
Rani uses an attachment-based approach to help people understand how early connections shape current relationships and emotional responses. This approach can be useful for intimacy worries, abandonment fears and improving closeness in important relationships.She also draws from Client-Centred Therapy, which centres the person’s own goals and pace. Sessions focus on listening, reflection and collaborative planning so people feel more empowered to make changes. Dialectical Behaviour Therapy elements are used to teach concrete skills for managing intense emotions and reducing stress.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Rani will talk through the options with clients and adapt techniques to fit each person’s needs, goals and preferences. That collaborative process helps decide whether to emphasise skills training, attachment exploration or mindful awareness.
Online formats offer practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction for deeper emotional work. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth or visual focus are limited. Live chat and text-based messaging suit shorter check-ins or when someone needs ongoing written support between sessions.
