How to label the axes without keeping the frame?

Question

I have this plot

And I shall label the axes as if I were in the Frame ambient that is, putting $t$ and $d\psi/dt$ on the axis but not at their top and right (like in the normal AxesLabel mode) but in the FrameLabel mode.

The problem is that I don't want any frame.

I don't know if I have been clear, but it's like to be able to write $t$ above the X axis, like in the middle, and $d\psi/dt$ at the left of the Y axis, in the middle.

Thank you!

Something like this?

Plot[Sqrt[x], {x, 0, 6 Pi},
 Epilog -> {
   Inset[Style["t", 12], {10, -1.5}],
   Inset[Style[Rotate["dw/dt", Pi/2], 12], {-2, 3}]},
 PlotRangePadding -> 2.5]

Update

Probably a better solution is:

Plot[Sqrt[x], {x, 0, 6 Pi},
 Frame -> {{True, False}, {True, False}},
 FrameLabel -> {{Style["dw/dt", 12], None}, {Style["t", 12], None}},
 PlotRangePadding -> None]

This is great! What if I wanted a Cartesian Plane without the X and Y negative parts? Shall I use something like "axesOrigin"? – Enrico M. Jun 22 '17 at 14:18

Just one more question, sorry for bothering you: what about that little gap in the second plot? Is there a way to remove it? >.< – Enrico M. Jun 22 '17 at 14:39
I don't see an easy way to remove the gap - unless you want to write your own axis-function – eldo Jun 22 '17 at 14:54

@HenryTuring Maybe add PlotRange -> {{0, 10}, {0, 4}} – SquareOne Jun 22 '17 at 15:52

or even PlotRange -> {{0, Automatic}, {0, Automatic}} – george2079 Jun 22 '17 at 16:23

@george2079 PlotRangePadding -> None works perfect! – Enrico M. Jun 23 '17 at 12:53
Thanks for the comments - now without the gap – eldo Jun 23 '17 at 15:32
