Learn, Reconnect & Expand your Practice!
Questival is back for 2026 and we’d love you to join us for a day of rich learning, fresh perspective warm connection.
This year’s event brings together three outstanding speakers, each offering something a little different – from building confidence in complex client work, to exploring creativity and neuroscience, to deepening your understanding of relational dynamics.

Alongside the learning, there will be plenty of time to catch up with fellow Questies, meet new people, and enjoy the warmth and support that makes this community so special.

Eating disorders can feel daunting for many therapists – whether you’re newly qualified or with years of experience. In this session, Chloe Cook offers a thoughtful and confidence-building introduction to working with clients who are struggling with disordered eating.
Chloe will explore the different types of eating disorders, unpack some of the myths and misconceptions that often surround them, and offer a clearer understanding of what eating disorders are really about. She will also highlight how a Quest Cognitive Hypnotherapy approach can support recovery, helping you feel more informed, less apprehensive and better equipped to begin working in this area.
This is an accessible and encouraging session for any therapist who has ever felt unsure about stepping into this work.

Chloe trained with Quest on Q16, qualified as a Supervisor in 2012, and has been working full time as a Cognitive Hypnotherapist for 19 years. She specialises in helping people who struggle with disordered eating of any kind.

In this highly visual, interactive and thought-provoking session, Andrea Watts explores the neuroscience, psychology and theoretical concepts underpinning the Collage Coaching Technique™ (CCT).
Drawing on principles from coaching, psychotherapy and art therapy, Andrea will show how working with images can help clients access deeper emotional insight, engage the unconscious and create meaningful, lasting change.
Using her own collage as a case study, she will guide you through key themes including the power of images in communication, the role of emotional and visual processing in the brain, and how metaphor and externalisation can support new connections and understanding. The session includes an experiential element, offering space for reflection on your own therapy practice journey, alongside ideas you may wish to bring into your client work.
This is a rich and engaging session for therapists who are curious about creativity, meaning-making and the deeper processes that support change.

In this warm, interactive session, Victoria Shalet introduces Relational Life Therapy (RLT), the powerful and transformational approach to relational work developed by Terry Real.
Victoria will explore how many of the principles Quest therapists already use (including parts work, unconscious positive intention, trance states and intergenerational patterns) align naturally with the RLT model. She will also highlight what RLT uniquely offers, and how it can deepen your understanding of relational dynamics whether you are interested in couples work or would like a richer lens for the relational dynamics you already see in your clients.
Grounded in real examples and designed to be engaging and accessible, this session offers fresh perspective, meaningful reflection and inspiration for therapists wanting to expand their relational lens.
