About Rani
Rani Sagar is a humanistic psychotherapeutic counsellor who draws on somatic work to help people feel more grounded in their bodies and emotions. She uses a warm, person-centred style to listen and respond to what each client brings. Rani holds BACP registration, which is shown as BACP in her credentials, and she has four years of clinical experience in the United Kingdom.
Rani helps people talk through worry, anxiety and stress in straightforward terms.
Background and approach
She supports those facing grief, depression, relationship pain and issues around intimacy. She also works with people coping with life changes, addictions, body-image concerns and long-term health or caregiving pressures. Her approach is shaped by Attachment-Based Therapy and client-centred principles.
That means attention to relational patterns and the therapeutic relationship itself. She also draws on Dialectical Behaviour Therapy skills and Jungian ideas when these suit a person's needs. In practice Rani focuses on what feels helpful in the room.
Sessions involve listening, gentle exploration of feelings and practical strategies for managing distress. Somatic elements may include noticing bodily sensations and learning ways to regulate the nervous system. Her work is collaborative and paced to the individual.
People can expect clear, direct conversation, emotional attunement and practical tools to use between sessions. Rani accepts international clients and offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions
Somatic Therapy focuses on the relationship between the body and emotions; in online work this can mean guided attention to breathing, posture and bodily sensations to help reduce tension and overwhelm. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relational patterns shape current relationships and emotional responses; online sessions explore these patterns through conversation and reflective exercises to improve connection and understanding. Client-Centred Therapy places the person and their experience at the centre of the work, offering empathic listening and respect so clients can find their own solutions and build self-acceptance.Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. The counsellor will work collaboratively to find the best fit based on a person’s needs, goals and preferences. That may mean combining elements from different approaches and adjusting the pace as trust develops.
Online formats offer practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction, phone sessions suit those who prefer not to use video, and live chat or text-based messaging can be useful for shorter, more frequent check-ins. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and mobility limits while keeping the focus on emotional awareness and coping skills.
