Client Details:
Samuele is my full name but you can call me Sam. I use they/them pronouns. I describe myself as a citizen of the world, learning how to walk gently on Earth.
My work brings together queer culture and ecological response-ability with a soulful perspective.
I am a registered HCPC & BADth dramatherapist and clinical supervisor. I work across Italy and the UK with queer communities, offering individual and group therapy, supervision and consultancy.
My approach is deeply influenced by Jungian psychology. My core training in the Sesame approach to dramatherapy as well as in Authentic Movement and in clinical supervision (Re-Vision) reflect a mythopoetic approach to Psyche. You may wonder if the process is a linear one, indeed, it is not. As Jung suggests ‘the way is not straight but appears to go round in circles’ (Jung, CW12, para.34)
Training Offered:
Working as dramatherapist with LGBTQI+ communities, Dramatherapy as queer work, GSRD (gender identity, sexuality, relationship diversity)
Student Group Details:
If you are interested in working in a small group, I offer an embodied, relational and creative practice to support your journey of self-discovery. I offer sessions in a closed group drawing together from Authentic Movement and the Sesame approach to Dramatherapy. Authentic Movement is a contemplative movement practice which has evolved within the field of dance movement therapy, and been influenced by Jungian psychology and meditative practice. As in the discipline of mindfulness meditation, we seek to pay attention to our direct experience, moment by moment, witnessing the sensations, feelings, thoughts, images and movement impulses which arise into consciousness.

2021 Working Alongside Trans, Gender Diverse and Questioning People – Gendered Intelligence, London.
2021-23 Diploma in Supervision – Re-Vision, London.
Further Details:
In a world stuck in binary oppositions, the work that I do aims to offer a safe space to sit at the crossroads. The oblique approach of Sesame meets queer culture both pointing at a third space which native language is the open, not-interpretative image. Taking a step back from the literalised world of everyday life and one forward into the metaphorical of stories, myths and dreams can allow expansion of vision beyond the periphery of ego culture.
