About Alan

Alan Wake is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, family conflict and low self-esteem. He works with those dealing with trauma, depression and feelings of being stuck. Alan aims to create a calm space where someone can talk things through and start to make small changes.

Alan uses straightforward, practical conversation to help people understand what holds them back. He focuses on clear steps people can try between sessions, and on building everyday skills for coping with panic, mood swings or social anxiety.

Background and approach

He explains ideas simply so they are easy to use in daily life. With three years of experience, Alan brings steady support to sessions. He treats people with sensitivity and respect and listens for what matters most to them.

He also pays attention to patterns such as attachment and communication that often affect relationships and wellbeing. Alan is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. He offers sessions in English to people located in the United Kingdom.

Sessions are structured to suit each person’s pace and needs, and he helps set practical goals together. To begin, Alan asks people to describe their current concerns and what they hope to change. From there he helps plan the next steps and works alongside each person to build confidence and clearer direction.

Focus areas and approaches

Everything Alan lists on their public professional profile, in their own terms.

How Alan uses evidence-based approaches online

Alan works with evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear, practical steps. One common approach encourages noticing patterns in thoughts and behaviours and then testing small changes in daily life to reduce anxiety and low mood. This helps with panic attacks, social anxiety and everyday worry.

A second approach looks at relationships and attachment patterns to improve communication and reduce repeated conflict. It helps people understand old habits, try new ways of interacting, and repair trust and connection where it has been damaged.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Alan will discuss options in early sessions and decide what feels most useful. He works collaboratively, adjusting methods to fit a person’s goals, pace and preferences rather than following a fixed plan.

Online sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different routines. Video calls are good for a fuller conversation, phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited, live chat and messaging suit shorter check-ins or times when typing feels easier. These options make it simpler to fit counselling around work, study and family life while keeping the focus on practical progress.
