Kel has been presenting at events and delivering lectures on her experiences of an Eating Disorder since she was 20, and this has developed into working with a wide range of volunteer organisations, practicing as a counsellor and teaching within an FE environment.

Kel is in the unique position of being able to bring together her own experience of an Eating Disorder with best practice in mental health and psychotherapy. In this interview she will talk about how not to begin a therapeutic relationship when working with someone who has an Eating Disorder - which may feel counter intuitive to us as practitioners. She will also discuss how during therapy the practitioners own fears may inhibit the client's ability to thrive.
