About Dr Ines Santos

Founder and Lead Trainer

I'm Ines, founder of EMDR Nexus, an EMDR therapist, consultant, trainer, dedicated to helping individuals unlock their full potential through the power of EMDR therapy. At EMDR Nexus, we are proud to offer EMDR Europe accredited trainings that provide professionals with the knowledge and skills to effectively apply EMDR in their clinical practice.

I am a Clinical Psychologist, specialist in trauma and complex trauma, with over 20 years of experience in the NHS. I worked at the Traumatic Stress Service, Maudsley; and as Trauma Lead for Brighton and Hove Assessment & Treatment Service.

My journey with EMDR therapy began in 1999 when I trained in this transformative approach. Since then, I have immersed myself in the world of trauma therapy and witnessed the profound impact of EMDR. This experience sparked my passion for empowering fellow therapists to harness the power of this incredible therapy.

Under the expert mentorship of Sandi Richman, I further developed my skills, becoming an EMDR Consultant and then a Trainer. I offer individual and group supervision in private practice and for several NHS services, including IAPT, secondary mental health, and specialist veteran mental health.

At EMDR Nexus, we are strongly committed to upholding the highest professional standards and strictly adhere to the EMDR Europe guidelines. This ensures that our training courses meet their rigorous criteria. Our trainings provide professionals with an invaluable platform to deepen their understanding of trauma theory and gain proficiency in the EMDR protocol across a wide range of clinical presentations and difficulties.

We prioritize a hands-on learning experience through small group work and practice sessions. This interactive approach allows participants to develop their knowledge and skills in a supportive and engaging environment. Our aim is to equip trainees with the necessary tools to facilitate healing and growth for their clients.

In addition, fostering a collaborative atmosphere is paramount to us. We encourage the exchange of ideas among participants in an inclusive environment, ensuring that that our training courses not only provide valuable knowledge and practical training but also facilitate professional growth and networking opportunities for all attendees.

EMDR Nexus is here to support you on your journey to enhance your therapy skills. Join us in our EMDR trainings and discover the transformative power of EMDR therapy firsthand.

I look forward to working with you and being a part of your growth as a therapist.
