About Rani

Rani Sagar is a Humanistic Psychotherapeutic Counsellor and a BACP counsellor with four years' experience based in the United Kingdom. She helps people unpack feelings, thoughts and behaviours so they can better understand how they relate to themselves and to others. Rani lists a wide range of concerns she works with, including anger, relationships, trauma, grief, depression, stress and anxiety.

She describes a pluralistic practice that draws on several approaches rather than a single method. In sessions she aims to build a trusting working relationship and to talk through what is happening in daily life. Conversations look at patterns in thinking and behaviour and at how early attachments might shape present reactions.

Rani uses client-centred ideas to make sessions person-focused, and she also applies elements of mindfulness to help with stress and emotional regulation. Dialectical Behaviour Therapy techniques may be used for practical skills around emotion tolerance and distress management. Jungian and somatic influences inform how she understands deeper themes and bodily experience.

Practical matters such as sleep, appetite, work stress and family tensions are common topics. She also supports people dealing with addiction, career questions, intimacy issues and changes such as bereavement or illness. Anger and control issues feature among the concerns she lists.

Sessions are conversational and reflective. Rani encourages self-awareness and clearer choices rather than quick fixes. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and book a first session through the See online therapy options button.

How sessions work

Therapeutic approaches and online working

Rani combines client-centred and attachment-based thinking with skills-focused work from DBT. Client-centred work means sessions focus on the person's experience in the here and now, with the counsellor following the person's lead to understand what matters most. Attachment-based ideas look at how early relationship patterns influence current reactions and close relationships.

Dialectical Behaviour Therapy elements offer practical skills for managing strong emotions, tolerating distress and improving interpersonal effectiveness. These techniques suit people who want concrete tools alongside reflective conversation, for example when anger, mood swings or relationship conflict are present.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and collaboratively choose methods that fit the person's needs. That choice can shift over time as issues change.

The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. In general online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or reduce travel time. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises, mindfulness practices and DBT skills to remote sessions so the focus stays on practical progress and day-to-day coping.
