In Part 2 of our Meet the Team series we are introducing you to Sarah Ariss - Cognitive Hypnotherapist and Training Manager at the Quest Institute, co-teaching alongside Trevor Silvester for the last 5 years.

Sarah qualified 10 years ago and since then has been running a successful private practice in Hertfordshire, seeing clients in person and online. She particularly enjoys helping people who are experiencing Anxiety.

Hobbies include reading, walking, skiing and recently helping out at a local stables. She also enjoys good food and, much to Chelsea fan Trevor’s dismay, supports Arsenal!

This weekend we reach the end of Module 3 of our Cognitive Hypnotherapy Diploma course. We are practising the techniques and theories we have been teaching over the last 2 months.

This includes working with fears, phobias and other limiting beliefs. We will practise taking case histories, working through interventions such as Rewind, Gestalt Chair and Meta Mirror and writing bespoke hypnotherapy recordings called WordWeaves.

Sound intriguing? Or maybe exciting?

Join us for our FREE Taster Module or sign up for the new course starting this summer. Just email:

Over the last 25 years the feedback about our course has been pretty inspiring. Today we are chuffed to be sharing a review from Jo Hamilton who trained with us and now runs a private Cognitive Hypnotherapy practice.

We love to see people coming to us with a real desire to be able to help their community and the world around them. They are driven by values which include kindness, integrity and honesty.

Not only does the course help graduates give back to their clients, it can also change their own lives, their own understanding of who they are.

We thought it might be a good idea to introduce our team. Here at The Quest Institute we really value community. To be honest it feels more like a family and the man who started it all (with his amazing wife Bex) is Trevor Silvester.

After 25 years of training therapists, Trevor is still lead trainer and brings an enthusiasm, an authenticity and, to be honest, a cracking sense of humour to the role.

Trevor is author of six books and is currently working on his seventh. He has worked in Harley Street in private practice for years and held various roles in the NCH.

Down to earth and always excited to learn new things, Trevor loves a pun, adores the new addition to the Quest family, Molly, and is endlessly encouraging to all those around him.

If you would like to become a Quest Cognitive Hypnotherapist, trained by Trevor, the get in touch by emailing jan@questinstitute.co.uk

Many traditional hypnotherapists work from pre-written scripts.

Here at the Quest Institute we teach you to create WordWeaves. These are tailor made for your individual clients, using their words, their solution states, their names - written by you, creatively, caringly.

They can be recorded and sent to clients. They can be delivered in the session spontaneously. They are the difference that make the difference.

Developed by Trevor Silvester, Wordweaving uses clients words and the beautifully vague language of Milton Erickson. No other school teaches this skill.

To sign up for our Diploma in Cognitive Hypnotherapy or maybe our free Taster Module to start with, email jan@questinstitute.co.uk

We train people from all walks of life, all backgrounds. From Builders to Beauty Therapists, Teachers to Train Drivers, Doctors to Dentists. We thought it might be interesting to show you just a few of the graduates who are working in their own successful private practices right now.

Thank you so much to Jonathan Pledger Bernadette Doyle Natalie Howson and Kate Hickmore and

All had huge life experience which they have brought with them to the world of therapy. We hope they inspire you to take the next step and join us for our next course.

Why not give them a follow and see what they are offering?
