About Rani

Rani Sagar is a Humanistic Psychotherapeutic Counsellor who brings a person-centred approach to therapy. She aims to help people look at their thoughts, feelings and behaviours so they can understand how they relate to themselves and others. Rani works in a warm, non-judgemental way to build a trusting relationship that supports change.

Rani uses a pluralistic style, drawing on several approaches to match what each person needs. She often uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships affect current patterns. She also incorporates client-centred listening and elements from mindfulness to help people feel steadier day to day.

Clients may come with relationship difficulties, grief, anxiety, depression or stress. Rani notes work around codependency, abuse and trauma, addiction, self-esteem and intimate life challenges among her focus areas. She also supports people facing chronic illness, caregiver strain and body image concerns.

With four years of practice and membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, Rani aims to help people become more self-aware and self-accepting. She prefers simple, honest conversation and practical steps rather than complex jargon.

Sessions adapt to the person’s pace. The priority is making space to talk, understand recurring patterns and try small changes that feel manageable. Rani encourages people to set goals together and to review progress as therapy continues.

How Rani’s approaches work online and in conversation

Rani draws on attachment-based ideas and client-centred practice to shape online work. Attachment-focused thinking helps people see how past relationships shape present patterns, which can be useful when tackling recurring problems in relationships and codependency. Client-centred therapy offers a listening-focused way of working where the person’s experience is central and discussion shapes the pace and focus.

She also uses elements of Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, offering practical skills for managing intense emotions and improving day-to-day coping. These skills can help with anxiety, mood swings and stress, and are taught in simple, step-by-step ways during sessions.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk through options and try methods that fit the person’s goals and preferences. Sessions are adjusted over time based on what helps most, so the client and therapist decide together how to proceed.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work or family life, reduce travel time and allow quieter check-ins when needed. It can also make it simpler to use mindfulness exercises and DBT skills between meetings, helping new habits transfer into daily routines.
