I qualified with Quest in 2012 (Q32). I have assisted on a number of Quest courses and qualified as a Master Practitioner in 2014 and an NCH accredited Supervisor in 2018. I’ve continued to learn and have completed further training in Thought Field Therapy, Ollie Coaching, Baby Quest and PsyTap – all of which have enhanced my practice and given me a big ‘virtual toolbox’ of tools I can use with clients. I built my practice, as soon as I qualified, on the Hampshire, Surrey and Berkshire borders, initially practicing Monday to Friday, supplementing my income with agency nursing. Now my business is established and thriving, I see clients Tuesday – Thursday and have Mondays and Fridays as ‘admin’ days.
I worked in the NHS as a nurse for 32 years. As a Senior Sister and Team Leader, I was also a Clinical Supervisor for Nurses, Health Care Assistants, and Health Visitors and, in turn, was supervised by my peers and 1:1. I know, from years of experience, how critical supervision is in maintaining and improving professional standards. My approach to all therapy and practice is evidence based and even as an established therapist I remain in supervision simply because I’ve experienced its benefits in both my clinical and hypnotherapy practice.
I offer one to one supervision via Zoom, telephone or in person – whatever works for you. I am also happy to offer group supervision at my office in Basingstoke, Hampshire.
I firmly believe that as a qualified Quest Cognitive Hypnotherapist you already know the answers to the questions and issues that you will bring to supervision; my role, through solution focussed supervision, is to help you discover them for yourself and be confident of your solution.
I know that your supervisor – whoever you choose – must be someone you are happy to share all your concerns with and who you trust implicitly.
I’m very happy to talk with any Questies – regardless of when they qualified – who feel I might be a good choice as supervisor for them. If you’d like to have a chat, please feel free to get in touch.

Hello!
I graduated with Q16 in April 2006 and completed my HPD a year later in July 2007. I did my Confident Childbirth training in 2007 as well, and I qualified as a Master Practitioner and Project You Coach in 2012.
I currently work part time and complement running my Cognitive Hypnotherapy practice (seeing clients and supervising) with raising my three young daughters. I am also assisting on Q33, which I’m finding incredibly rewarding – it feels like I’ve gone full circle in my Quest journey, and I know there is still heaps more to learn.
I consider myself to be an active member of Quest, and I regularly visit the online forums and attend Quest meetings when and where I can – I enjoy having a regular boost of ‘Questie-love’, whether socially or in a more formal learning environment.
I specialise in working with people who are struggling with eating disorders – most of you will probably know my name from the Diploma course. I am the Specialist Advisor for the NCH in the field of eating disorders, and I am more than willing to offer my personal and professional experience, knowledge and support in this area to anyone who requests it.
I qualified as an Accredited Hypnotherapy Supervisor in 2012, and my aim within supervision is to share your journey and to work with you to help you develop from being a consciously competent therapist, to an unconsciously excellent therapist. I offer supervision sessions face to face, via Skype and over the telephone. I will also be setting up group supervision opportunities throughout the year in the near future as well.
I love all aspects of my job – so much so that I really don’t consider it to be work. Any spare time that I do get is taken up with writing and taking photos – my other two passions.
As with choosing a therapist, it’s important that you find the supervisor who is right for you. If you are interesting in finding out more about my approach to supervision, please feel free to get in touch.
I look forward to hearing from you soon
I qualified with Quest in 2012 (Q32) and I’ve have been working as a Cognitive Hypnotherapist for the past 7 years, I qualified as a Master Practitioner in 2013 and an NCH accredited Supervisor in 2019.
I have worked in a variety of industries throughout my life, varying from experience within a creative industry such as fashion design, to being employed within the financial industry, over to running and developing a successful family business.
When I trained with Quest it changed my perspective on life and gave me a different take on life and where my life was going at the time, this in turn enabled me to make the changes in my life and in my career. Understanding and learning about myself has played a major part of me being a therapist and a supervisor.
After I qualified with Quest I was very fortunate to have had excellent supervision and know just how valuable this reflective and non-judgemental support can be.
It has helped me in so many ways to develop and grow on my journey as a cognitive hypnotherapist.
As supervision is highly recommended getting the right supervisor to help you is important to enable you to develop and grow as a therapist personally and to help you grow your business too. I am happy to work 1:1, in groups, via Skype, telephone or in person – whatever supervision is the best that supports you, I am based in North London.
As your supervisor I will endeavour to help you to feel supported and ready for any challenges that may occur along the way and would do my best to help you on your Journey!

I have been a Supervisor since 2012 and a Questie since Q26. Based in Wimbledon, , I run a full-time practice . I put the success of my practice down to passion, enthusiasm, a good website designed and run by Emma (my daughter and fellow Questie), a genuine interest in my clients, hard work which I absolutely love, and total belief and confidence in what I am doing. And of course brilliant training, my natural curiosity and love of learning, and a lot of CPD (including Addiction, Smoking, Weight loss, EMDR training, EFT, childbirth, Parts therapy with Brian Roet, and a Coaching and Neuroscience course at ITS).
I chose not to specialise or ‘niche’ market myself, because I thrive on variety. That said, however, I was the Phobia Specialist for the NCH, became a Slimquest Coach (weightloss) back in the day, and have extensive experience working with women for antenatal, birth and postnatal issues. My real speciality is working with Trauma, using AMDR, which integrates EMDR protocol with the Cognitive Hypnotherapy approach. A colleague and I developed this approach which I believe is a natural extension to the Master Prac training (for more information on AMDR visit our website at amdr.info).
I have assisted on several diploma courses and two or three Master Pracs, partly because I always learn more that way, but mostly because I love helping people to grow, to learn and to develop their skills and confidence, and reach their potential. I guess there is something of a teacher in me. (I taught NCT antenatal classes for 25 years). So I love supervision. Over the years I personally have found it an invaluable resource because of the support and guidance it offers with tricky cases, personal/professional issues, ethical challenges and practice building. And that is what I offer my supervisees.
Supervision is bit like coaching, in that we recognise that now you are qualified, you do have the answers inside…you just might need a little help to find them sometimes. So I will never tell you what to do because I already respect you as a Cognitive Hypnotherapist in your own right. Instead, supervision sessions provide a safe place to explore your options, discuss techniques, expand and balance your knowledge and skills, calm your fears and build your confidence, and help you to build your practice. Most of my supervisees prefer to work via Zoom or Facetime, but I am happy to work face to face or by phone if you prefer.

Q20, Master Practitioner 2008, 2020
I am a full-time Cognitive Hypnotherapist, coach and trainer. Since I qualified in 2007, I’ve specialised in a range of areas including health related trauma. My area of specialism now is working in organisations and the Resilience and Wellbeing at Work (RAWW) programme, which I run within Quest, was developed from my last stint on the Master Prac in 2020!!
My approach to supervision focuses on what you do well, it builds on what already works for you and it supports your continuous professional development. I want to ensure you get what you need from our sessions and so we build a safe, open and honest relationship to ensure your specific requirements are met. I’ve benefitted so much from my experience as a supervisee over the years and I’m still learning!! I’m really looking forward to providing this opportunity for others. I can do one to one or groups, all online.
My background and experience is working in the Criminal Justice System for 25 years. I have a broad experience of working with a diverse range of clients. Over the years I worked for Kids Company, the Samaritans and Macmillan as a freelance trainer and Consultant.
I am passionate about what I do, however and wherever I do it and I also like to have fun – one of my top Signature Strengths!! I take my work very seriously but hold it lightly, so be prepared for some northern humour!!
Contact me on jilltonks01@gmail.com 0786 7557477 to discuss if the way I work is the right fit for you. I look forward to hearing from you.

I proudly received my first HPD in 2009 and then my Quest diploma in cognitive hypnotherapy. I also hold diplomas in, NLP, hypnotherapy and stress management.
My background – I ran my own business for 6 years and earlier worked in various retail corporate environments for over 20 years. Every role I have undertaken has involved people and on reflection the most rewarding role has been to help them move forward, helping them negotiate life’s obstacles and enjoy the process.
My first experience with Quest was a phone call to Bex. I was so excited to find someone who spoke my language. I am passionate about the job I do and look for ways to improve/grow and help myself and others. I know I do this as a non-judgemental and supporting supervisor.
Getting the right supervisor is important to help you to develop and that may or may not be me but supervision is important for growth, be it personal or business, wellbeing or guidance. Really it’s just another part of your journey. We were all new therapists once.
I started my master practitioner in 2011, completed it in 2013. I am based in Yorkshire and it took a few trips down south and I’m doing it again, 2018. I like to keep up to date and developing.
Holding therapy rooms in Bradford and Halifax I can happily say I have a thriving full-time cognitive hypnotherapy business. I am often described as open and friendly and I want to do my best for anyone I work with.
Because of my location, a lot of my supervision sessions are done via Skype, telephone or face time. If you would like to know more about me or how I work please free to get in touch.

I currently work part time as a Cognitive Hypnotherapist combining it with voluntary work in a Women’s Centre, empowering and supporting vulnerable women, many who have suffered domestic abuse. After qualifying with Quest I completed the Master Practitioner training and have attended many other training courses including Hugh Osbornes Addiction workshop, Confident Childbirth, Cathy Simmons stop smoking workshop, Brian Roet’s Integrated Parts Therapy and many more. My background is in teaching and for 9 years I was Deputy Head of a Primary Special School. As part of this role I mentored Newly Qualified Teachers as well as providing Supervision to the teaching staff.
I have a Counselling Diploma and an advanced level 3 qualification in EFT. I have recently qualified as an accredited Supervisor which was a natural progression for me. I assisted on Q38 and enjoyed helping the students immensely.
I have gained an enormous amount from my own personal supervision and believe supervision to be so important in therapy practice. I will provide an opportunity for you to reflect on your practice, helping you to find solutions to enable you to be the best therapist you can be whilst delivering the best service to your clients. I am flexible in my approach but will always be supportive and non-judgemental, helping you to develop and grow. I can also support and guide you in building your business .
I live in Bognor Regis so my sessions will be mostly by Skype, although I’m more than happy to do face to face sessions if distance isn’t an issue. Im also keen to do group supervision by Skype or face to face as I believe the learning opportunities in group supervision are invaluable.
If you would like to have a chat with me to discuss how I can support you and learn more about my approach, please get in touch.

My Quest training made a huge difference to my life. It opened my eyes to people differences and helped me to focus on my strengths and work on my weaknesses. This has become a major part of my practice as a cognitive hypnotherapist and as a supervisor.
I trained on Q29 and have been practicing out of rooms in Belsize Park, just around the corner to Regents college, ever since. I have a keen interest in working with self esteem, anxiety and depression and work with both adults and children.
I find supervision invaluable and an essential part of my practice. It is a place where I can openly discuss the various elements of my practice and I find it is still helping me to develop. This is probably why I trained as a supervisor because even as a supervisor I still manage to gain new perspectives by working with other therapists.
I tend to work mainly on a one to one basis but am happy to run group supervision sessions in London and offer one off sessions to anyone who would like to discuss working with children.
I am happy to work over the phone or face to face. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions.
