Samuel is a clinical psychologist, psychotherapist, supervisor, and trainer based in Toulouse, France. Certified in Internal Family Systems (IFS) and EMDR, he draws on more than 15 years of experience in healthcare, psychiatry, and psychotherapeutic support.

A former president of an inclusive rugby association, Samuel is strongly committed to valuing diversity and promoting the inclusion of minorities, particularly LGBTQIA+ individuals. These values are reflected in his way of working, which is both human, welcoming, and deeply respectful of each person’s unique path.

His guiding principle: “In meeting our parts, we learn the inclusion of the world.”
