New Counsellor Appointed

The University has recently appointed an eating disorders counsellor within the University Counselling Service.

Chris Rolfe-Moore, who has worked at the University and Bradford College Counselling Service as a volunteer member of the counselling team since 1993, is hoping to raise awareness of eating disorders.

This newly created post will incorporate research in the field of eating disorders and is funded by the Government initiative Health Action Zone which is designed to address this issue.

Chris (pictured left), whose previous professional background is in health care, is a B.A.C.P. (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy) Accredited Counsellor, qualified Clinical Supervisor and also lectures in counselling.

Chris aims to offer therapy to individuals and groups and hopes to raise awareness of eating disorders within the university.

She said: "The incidence of eating disorders in universities and colleges is very high and the addition of this specialist provision to the counselling service is a most welcome development.

Chris will be located at the Student Health Centre on Laisteridge Lane and can be contacted on extension 5343.
