Christophe Langlassé
Senior Eating Issues Practitioner
Christophe is an accredited mental health social worker with AASW and a practitioner in the Individual Clinical stream of EDQ’s services.
Practicing for 10 years in the fields of youth, disability, refugee, and mental health, Christophe is experienced in working with a diverse range of client backgrounds and is committed to ensuring mental health recovery is possible and reducing the stigma and shame associated with eating disorders. His broad engagement and understanding of mental health issues (mood disorders, psychotic disorders, personality disorders, complex trauma, substance abuse) has lead him to wanting to make a difference in the field of eating disorders.
Christophe is particularly passionate about mental health recovery, believing that hope and recovery is possible despite the sometimes-overwhelming nature of illness. Like previous recovery work, Christophe draws upon authentic, strengths based, collaborative, and person-centred principles and draws heavily from community development and feminist practice frameworks.
More specifically, Christophe adopts the approaches of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Problem Solving, and creative expression to assist those with an eating issue work on their recovery. Christophe’s aim in practice is to make those who seek the service feel comfortable, listened to, and hopeful for the future so that a purposeful, therapeutic relationship can take place.
Christophe values time with his wife, young son, family and friends. He plays guitar for personal pleasure and occasionally plays shows when he has the time. Having Scottish and French heritage, Christophe is also a keen football fan and enjoys being part of the world cup football family. Going on camping trips and spending time in the garden are some of his favourite activities.
