Rani Sagar, BACP

Rani Sagar is a humanistic psychotherapeutic counsellor who helps people explore their thoughts, feelings, and behaviours to gain clearer insight into how they relate to themselves, to others, and to the wider world. She works to build a strong, trusting therapeutic relationship that supports people through difficult moments and helps them move toward greater self-awareness, empowerment, and self-acceptance.

Rani’s practice is pluralistic, meaning she draws on a range of theories and methods and adapts them to suit each person’s unique needs rather than relying on a single model. This flexible way of working allows her to tailor sessions to the concerns presented, whether that involves exploring attachment patterns, emotional responses, or everyday coping strategies.

Rani holds BACP, which is membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - a professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists in the United Kingdom. Her approach emphasizes collaboration, respectful listening, and supporting people to find their own strengths and pathways forward.

Therapeutic Approaches Adapted for Online Care

Rani draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to examine how early relationships influence current patterns of relating, helping people understand attachment needs and develop healthier connections. This approach can be useful for difficulties around intimacy, abandonment, and relationship cycles.

She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which prioritizes empathic listening and the individual’s own capacity for growth. Through a non-judgemental and supportive stance, this method helps people explore feelings, build self-acceptance, and find personal direction.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, is another approach Rani integrates when emotional regulation and coping skills are needed. DBT offers practical strategies for managing strong emotions, reducing distress, and improving interpersonal effectiveness.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Rani works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they explore what feels most helpful and adjust the plan as therapy progresses.

Online therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexibility for people balancing work, family, or travel. These options make it easier to maintain regular sessions, access support from different locations, and choose the format that feels most comfortable, while working with registered professionals and therapists who tailor the work to each individual.
