Alan Wake, BACP

BACP. 3 years' experience. Alan Wake helps people with stress, anxiety, family concerns, trauma and abuse, self esteem and depression using evidence-based therapeutic techniques.

Alan Wake works with individuals who feel stuck or low in motivation. He talks through worries about panic, mood and social anxiety. He also supports people managing workplace pressure and feelings of isolation. Sessions focus on practical conversation and building understanding rather than labels.

Alan has experience supporting undergraduate and postgraduate students, including local and international learners. He meets people from a range of backgrounds and ages. He listens for the patterns in thoughts and relationships that keep problems repeating.

In sessions he aims to clarify what is most troubling and to try straightforward ways to change unhelpful patterns. This can include looking at how past attachments affect current relationships and how guilt, shame or forgiveness shape behaviour. He also works on clearer communication and problem-solving for family-related stress.

Alan uses approaches grounded in evidence. He helps people understand their mood and panic symptoms, and develops steps to reduce avoidance and increase manageable exposure to feared situations. Progress is measured in simple goals and practical changes that fit daily life.
