I trained with the Quest Institute in 2007 and went onto train as a Master Practitioner in 2008. I am a member of the Quest Research team and the results outlined below match my experience with clients.
The Quest Institute launched a unique research project in 2011. Using a team of therapists, clients with anxiety and depression were assessed using the same outcome measures currently used to assess the effectiveness of talking therapies within the NHS. The pilot study was published in the Mental Health Review Journal in 2015. It recorded that, using 118 cases measuring the effectiveness of Cognitive Hypnotherapy for the treatment of depression and anxiety, 71% considered themselves recovered after an average of 4 sessions. This compared to an average of 42% for other approaches using the same measures (like CBT). To our knowledge, this is the only hypnotherapy approach to have been validated in this way.
For further information concerning the research project and pilot study released in the Mental Health Review Journal please visit the evidence-based therapy research page.
