Rani Sagar
A collaborative counsellor using humanistic and integrative care
About Rani
Rani Sagar is a humanistic psychotherapeutic counsellor who draws on several approaches to support people through difficult times. She focuses on helping individuals understand their feelings, thoughts and behaviours so they can relate differently to themselves and others. Rani aims to build a trusting relationship so people feel heard and understood.
Her work often centres on relationships, trauma and abuse, grief, depression and anxiety. She also supports people struggling with stress, addictions, intimacy issues and self-esteem.
Background and approach
Practical concerns such as sleep, eating, parenting strains, career pressure and compassion fatigue are part of her practice too. Rani uses a pluralistic approach, which means she combines methods to suit each person. That might include attachment-based ideas to look at how early bonds affect current relationships.
Mindfulness practices are used to help with staying present and managing stress. She also draws on client-centred principles to keep the focus on the person in front of her. Dialectical Behaviour Therapy skills may be offered for emotional regulation and coping.
Jungian ideas can be used to explore deeper themes when that fits the work. Rani holds BACP accreditation, which reflects professional registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. She has four years of practice experience working with a wide range of life issues.
Sessions are offered in English and she accepts international clients from the United Kingdom. People can expect approachable, plain-spoken sessions that aim to increase self-awareness and practical coping. The process is collaborative, with techniques chosen to match each person’s needs and goals.

Sessions & fees
How Rani’s approaches work online
Attachment-based work looks at how early relationship patterns influence feelings and behaviours today. Online sessions can explore those patterns and practice new ways of relating to others. Client-centred therapy keeps the focus on the person and their pace, using empathetic listening to help people feel understood and make their own choices about change. Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, or DBT, teaches practical skills for managing intense emotions and improving distress tolerance, which can be practised during or between online sessions.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Rani will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs and preferences. That collaborative process can be reviewed as progress is made, with new tools introduced when they could help more.
Online formats offer practical benefits. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and non-verbal cues. Phone sessions suit people with lower bandwidth or those who prefer no video. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for quick check-ins or for people who find writing easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, family and travel commitments while keeping the focus on useful, applicable change.
