Cara Delevingne has revealed how she craved an 'intervention' at the start of her career.

Speaking at London's Women in the World event, the 23 year-old detailed how she suffered stress-induced psoriasis as a result of her schedule - which doctors merely treated with cortisone injections.

The supermodel said she eventually received help from Kate Moss, who stepped in.

Frank: Cara Delevingne credited Kate Moss with saving her from a difficult 'low-point' at the start of her now-glittering career, during London's Women in the World event on Friday

'I had no concept of saying no to anyone, ever,' Cara said in a trouser two-piece at Cadogan Hall.

'After a while I got sick and got a condition called psoriasis. I felt disconnected from myself, but my agency simply shoved me into a doctor's surgery, where I got cortisone shots, but – in reality – I wanted someone to stop me, but nobody did.

'I never felt like I was good enough, that I deserved success. I felt like I was living somebody else’s dream. Kate Moss saved me – she stepped in and picked me up off the floor at a stressful time.'

The vignette was a fitting one given that the annual conference is designed promote sisterhood and mutual support among women.

She added: 'At that point I started writing and found yoga. At first I just did it superficially because I wanted to be flexible, but when I first started seeing my tutor I broke through something.

'We were both chanting and I suddenly burst into tears. I looked at him [the tutor] thinking he was a monster - an evil man – for making me cry. But he just laughed.

'See, it wasn’t him at all, it was me. Now, we still practice together and I've evolved as a person’.

'At 15 I pushed myself so far that I had a bit of a break-down. I was one of those people who just did enough to get by, but because I have very bad learning difficulties it was tough. So I went a bit mad and became suicidal.

'I also knew how lucky I was with my family, but I wanted the world to swallow me up.

'So I saw a therapist and went on anti-depressants and clawed my way back up. After that I eventually left school and started modelling – much to my parents’ upset.

'Then I did Burberry and everything changed.'
