The 'Why' Behind The Company
About Me
Greetings, I'm Kerry, and welcome to the world of holistic well-being at the Martial Arts Mental Health & Well-Being Company. I'm a compassionate therapist dedicated to guiding you toward greater mental, emotional, and spiritual balance.
​
My approach is rooted in person-centered, holistic healing, with qualifications as a Trauma and Recovery Practitioner, Holistic Counselor, CBT Therapist, Life Coach, and NLP Practitioner. Alongside my therapeutic practice, I bring rich experience from the NHS and am affiliated with ACCPH, IGCBT, IGCLC, and IGNLP.
In 2009, my family and I launched our first Martial Arts School, which expanded to two locations by 2018 and won the Quality Business Award for best martial arts school in Dudley in 2023 & 2024. Witnessing the mental health challenges faced by our students, I created a supportive hub for early intervention and family support, which later inspired the launch of "TRIBE," a program using boxing to foster mental well-being in young people.
Currently, I’m a school counselor in a secondary school, offering support to students, which is a role I cherish deeply. As someone who is deaf and wears a cochlear implant, I'm passionate about empowering the deaf and hard-of-hearing community. I mentor for Advanced Bionics, sharing my cochlear implant journey to support others.
In 2024, I was honored to receive the Black Country Women’s Aid Inspirational Woman of the Year Award—a recognition close to my heart. My personal experiences, from overcoming childhood trauma and domestic abuse to thriving as a foster child, fuel my empathy and drive to support others.
If you're looking for a holistic approach to mental health and well-being, I’d love to guide you on your journey to a healthier and happier self.
The Mission
The importance of early intervention in nurturing mental health and well-being cannot be overstated, particularly for young individuals often left waiting for support for extended periods. Our mission is clear: to offer comprehensive early intervention through a holistic approach that transforms lives.
Martial arts, a cornerstone of our approach, imparts the invaluable lesson of balance between the body and mind. It serves as a powerful catalyst for cultivating resilience, self-esteem, self-awareness, and empowerment. When we integrate these principles with Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (MBCBT), Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP), Counselling and Life Coaching, the possibilities for personal growth and transformation become limitless.
Our programs, coupled with one-on-one holistic therapy sessions, present a unique and empowering pathway for our clients to rediscover the strength, power, and equilibrium within themselves. We understand that true healing requires addressing emotional, mental, physical, and spiritual needs, placing the individual at the very heart of their treatment plan.
At our core, we adhere to a holistic, trauma-informed approach to mental health, where the focus is firmly on the client as a whole, not merely their diagnosis or symptoms. We recognize that to achieve well-being, we must acknowledge the intricate interplay of every facet of their being, offering a comprehensive approach that resonates deeply with each individual we serve.
Join us on this transformative journey where we empower you to embrace your full potential, find your inner strength, and create the balanced, harmonious life you deserve. Together, we'll navigate the path to holistic well-being and personal growth.
