Rani Sagar, BACP

Rani Sagar is a Humanistic psychotherapeutic counsellor who focuses on helping people understand their thoughts, feelings and behaviours. She aims to build a trusting relationship that helps people become more self-aware, empowered and accepting of themselves. Rani works with a range of concerns including relationships, grief, anxiety, depression and issues related to ageing and geriatric concerns.

Rani describes her approach as pluralistic, which means she draws on several methods to suit each person’s needs. She uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. Client-centred ways of working mean the person’s own goals guide sessions. She also uses elements from Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, Jungian ideas and mindfulness to offer different tools.

In practice, sessions focus on talking through immediate problems and noticing patterns that keep them recurring. Rani helps people try out new ways of relating to themselves and others, and practices simple skills for coping with stress or intense emotions. She aims to keep language clear and practical so people can use what they learn between sessions.

Rani has four years’ experience and is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She works from the United Kingdom and offers therapy in English. People who are considering therapy complete a short matching questionnaire to get started.

Her background supports work with caregiving stress, chronic health challenges and life-stage transitions alongside relationship and mood concerns. Rani tailors methods to each person rather than following a single manual.

How Rani’s approaches translate to online work

Rani combines attachment-informed and client-centred work with practical skills from DBT and mindfulness. Attachment-based work looks at how patterns from early relationships affect current ways of relating, which helps with intimacy, abandonment and caregiving concerns. Client-centred therapy focuses on the person’s own goals and pace, placing their experience at the centre of sessions. Mindfulness offers simple attention and breathing exercises to reduce stress and improve sleep, while DBT provides concrete strategies for managing intense emotions.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the therapy. Rani aims to decide collaboratively which methods to use based on each person’s needs, goals and preferences. She adjusts what she brings to sessions as people give feedback and try out new ways of coping.

The therapist’s biography does not specify which online or in-person formats are offered, so confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also makes it possible for people in different places to meet with registered or accredited professionals and to continue therapy during life transitions without changing therapist.
