Online and In-Person Therapy in Manchester

Uplift Therapy Solutions is one of the few accredited therapy services offering both online and in-person sessions to clients across Greater Manchester.

For those who prefer face-to-face support, in-person sessions are available at the practice in Heywood, easily accessible from Manchester city centre, Rochdale, Bury and surrounding areas.

Online sessions remain the most flexible option — accessible from your own space, with no travel required and appointments available during evenings and weekends.

For many people, starting online and moving to in-person later or combining both, is a practical way to build consistency into therapy.

Whether online or in-person, the focus remains the same, creating a consistent, confidential and supportive space to explore what's going on and begin moving forward at a pace that feels right for you.

Why Choose Therapy in Manchester

Across Greater Manchester there can be a cultural reluctance to seek help for mental health. A sense that difficulties should be managed independently or that reaching out is a sign of weakness.

This attitude is gradually shifting, but it still means many people wait longer than necessary before accessing support.

Uplift Therapy Solutions offers a straightforward, non-judgemental space to begin that process.

Whether you're ready to commit to regular sessions or simply want to explore whether therapy feels right for you.

There's no pressure and no expectation to have everything figured out beforehand.

Support is available across Greater Manchester including Didsbury, Chorlton, Salford, Stockport, Rochdale, Bury and surrounding areas.

Therapeutic Approaches Suited to You

Therapy is tailored to your individual needs, using evidence-based approaches that support both understanding and practical change. For Manchester clients attending either online or in-person, the same high standard of evidence-based care applies regardless of the format chosen.

No single approach works for everyone. Sessions draw from a range of methods depending on what feels most relevant and helpful for your situation, allowing the work to evolve as therapy progresses rather than following a fixed path.

These include:

  • Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
  • Person-Centred Counselling
  • Hypnotherapy and NLP (where appropriate)

CBT is often used to explore patterns in thinking, behaviour and emotional responses, helping you develop practical ways of managing difficulties. Other approaches may be integrated where appropriate.

You can also explore additional tools and guidance on the resources page.

5 Star Rating

I have had counselling in the past but felt Nad made the best breakthrough, by helping me to understand myself better and in helping to restore my confidence.

He is very observant and is incredibly non-judgemental this leads to a good balance of mutual respect.

My life is on a different and more positive path.

Nad is a rare find in his field.

CJ

I was lost and in a very dark place.

I have the utmost respect for Nad, he made me feel that he understood my problems and asked the most important questions which got to the heart of my issues.

He is one of those rare people that come into your life and can change it around for the better.

SB

Nad helped me to look at my internal thought process, challenge my perceptions and gave me some fantastic tools to use when I found myself struggling.

His professional knowledge and experience allowed me to make better decisions, consider alternative ways of thinking, feeling and eventually acting.

He has a great approach and is empathic, personable and knows his subject matter extremely well.

CC

I had a really good experience with Nadeem. I started therapy with him in June 2023 and we worked through a lot of things. He’s able to unravel things you didn’t think even needed exploring.

It’s been a spiritual and mental healing journey and I’ve learnt a lot of techniques to manage stress and triggers. I’ll be implementing everything I’ve learnt in my day to day.

Highly recommend anyone to try therapy and see for yourself the changes it can make!

ZA

I came to Nad with an issue which I feel is now well and truly overcome.

Nad is approachable and knowledgeable in his field and makes you feel welcome from the 1st session. I can't thank him enough for the time spent together.

I would 100% recommend his expertise to anyone who feels they have a problem... if you believe you can achieve

MA

Nad will go above and beyond the scheme to help you. Life is easy and he will help you to find the way to resolve your issue. He asked the right questions.

Most important Nadeem will give you skills for life to understand yourself and your choices.

Very professional manners. Highly recommend.

MM

Nad is great at what he does. Not only does he listen in a non judgemental way but he also gives practical solutions to problems which is really helpful.

He is good at helping you reflect on an issue and come up with a solution and put in practical steps to move forward. I struggled for years to get into exercising but now more motivated for first time in a long time.

Thanks for the great support.
