About Rani
Rani Sagar is a humanistic psychotherapeutic counsellor who works with people feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, stress, grief and relationship problems. She uses a warm, person-focused style to help clients talk through difficult emotions and understand patterns in their thoughts and behaviour. Rani aims to build a trusting counselling relationship first.
That gives space to explore what matters to the client and what changes they want. Conversations are straightforward and paced to suit each person.
Background and approach
Her practice draws on a mix of approaches rather than a single method. That means she can use attachment-based ideas to look at relationship patterns, client-centred listening to follow what feels most important, or mindfulness and somatic techniques to calm the body and mind. She adapts these depending on the issue presented.
Clients bring a wide range of concerns, including depression, trauma and abuse, addictions, eating and sleeping issues, low self-esteem, career stress and parenting strains. Rani also helps people coping with major life changes, grief, compassion fatigue and intimacy-related worries. Rani holds BACP credentials, which are listed as part of her professional details.
She has four years of practice experience in the United Kingdom and offers sessions in English. Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging. Her style is collaborative and steady.
Clients can expect a respectful space to make sense of their experience and to work towards clearer choices and improved coping.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online counselling
Attachment-based work focuses on how early relationship patterns shape current connections and emotional reactions; online sessions can be used to identify these patterns and practise new ways of relating. Client-centred therapy places the person's experience at the heart of sessions, with the counsellor listening and reflecting to help people make sense of their feelings and decisions. Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, or DBT, offers skills for managing intense emotions and improving coping, and can be used to teach practical strategies and grounding techniques in session.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The counsellor collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences. That shared planning can change as progress is made and as different issues emerge.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging, offering flexibility for different situations. Video calls work well for face-to-face discussion and exercises, phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited, live chat and messaging suit shorter check-ins or paced reflection. These options help people fit therapy around work, family life and other commitments while maintaining continuity of care.
