About The Training
Part of the training is experiential in order that health professionals who work with eating disorders and obesity may have an opportunity for personal growth as well as integrative learning. We believe that this will assist you in working compassionately and excellently with clients.
Suitability
Psychologists & psychotherapists, counsellors & addiction specialists, doctors, nurses, coaches and all other health professionals working with Eating Disorders.
*Health professionals without psychotherapy qualifications must apply to their professional authority for advice about the boundaries of their ethical practice with eating disorders and obesity. Even with our awards, they may be able to advertise that they have a “Special interest in eating disorders” and will know how to apply many of the learned strategies on this course. For ethical practice with clients with eating disorders and obesity, they may be required also work alongside a ED-trained psychotherapist.
