About Alan
Alan Wake helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety or low mood. He works with individuals dealing with family conflict, trauma or abuse, and supports those struggling with self-esteem and motivation. Alan presents himself as respectful and compassionate in sessions.
He draws on three years of hands-on experience, including work with undergraduate and postgraduate students. He meets people from a variety of backgrounds and aims to create a calm space to talk things through.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on practical steps people can use between meetings. Alan keeps things straightforward. He helps clients understand patterns that keep them stuck and tries to break those patterns into manageable actions.
Conversations might cover communication problems, attachment-related worries, and setting goals related to life purpose or work stress. He also supports people dealing with panic attacks, social anxiety, guilt and shame, isolation, and mood disorders. Forgiveness and self-love are explored where they matter to a person’s wellbeing.
The goal is to increase confidence and ease day-to-day functioning. Alan is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. He offers sessions in English and works remotely with people based in the United Kingdom.

Focus areas and approaches
What Alan works with
Everything Alan lists, in their own terms.
Online support
Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. Alan works with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. He will discuss options, try interventions together, and adjust the plan if something is not helpful.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video calls are useful for a fuller conversation and non-verbal cues, phone sessions are easy when bandwidth is low, live chat suits shorter check-ins, and text messaging helps people who prefer writing or want flexible check-ins between sessions. These options make therapy easier to fit around work, study and family life and increase accessibility for people across the United Kingdom.
