About Us

Meet Mrs Maryam

Assalamu alaikum Wa rahmatullah. I am Maryam Hassan Baba, Marriage Therapist, Mental Health Advocate, and the founder of The Northern Therapist. With over 10 years of professional experience, I specialise in helping individuals and couples heal, grow and reconnect.

My approach blends evidence based therapy grounded in Islamic values ensuring every client feels truly seen, respected and supported. Beyond therapy, I create safe spaces through the Phenomenal ladies club, our annual marriage conference, Project Zo Mu Zauna and other community-driven initiatives that empower people to thrive in their personal and relational lives.

At the heart of my work is a simple belief: “Healing and connection are always possible with the right support, no one has to walk alone
