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!
