About Me
I am John Lowson, a Clinical Hypnotherapist specialising in solution focused hypnotherapy which combines psychotherapy and hypnosis. Alongside my private practice at J Lowson Hypnotherapy, I am co-owner of the award winning Halifax Hypnotherapy Clinic, in Shelf. I am dedicated to helping individuals overcome their challenges and achieve positive change.
In addition to my hypnotherapy practice, I am a senior lecturer and lecture at various hypnotherapy training acadamies across Yorkshire and the North East, where I train and supervise the next generation of hypnotherapists.
My personal journey led me to hypnotherapy after experiencing a bitter, unexpected divorce a few years ago. The aftermath left me struggling with depression, anger, and anxiety, and my life seemed to be spiralling out of control. It was a close friend who recommended hypnotherapy, which became a turning point in my life.
Through hypnotherapy, I rediscovered the positive aspects of my life and rewired my negative thinking patterns to embrace a new, positive future. I am now the happiest I have been in a long time, living in the present moment and letting go of worries about the past and future.
As a registered member of the NCH (National Council of Hypnotherapy), APHP (Association for Professional Hypnosis & Psychotherapy), and the CNHC (Complimentary and Natural Healthcare Council), I uphold high professional standards. I collaborate with local medical professionals through referrals and maintain full insurance coverage. Furthermore, I possess an enhanced DBS certificate for added peace of mind.
My hypnotherapy clinic is located in Shelf, ideally situated on the outskirts of Halifax and Bradford and just a short drive from Brighouse, Claremount, Boothtown, Lightcliffe, Norwood Green, Northowram, Shelf, Queensbury, Wyke, and Wibsey, my practice offers a clinical setting with easy accessibility and convenient bus routes to Halifax, Huddersfield, Bradford, and Leeds.
If you would like more information or to book an initial consultation, please contact me and reach out and together, we can embark on a journey to piece your life back together and help you achieve positive transformation.
Here's what some of my past clients say
I went to John as I was getting married and have a massive fear of public speaking and generally struggle with confidence. The wedding day was amazing and was surprised how calm I was doing my speech, he has helped me out massively and changed my life for the better, would highly recommend.

John is amazing and has helped me to completely change my life. As it was my first time, and hypnotherapy was basically a last ditched attempt for me to help overcome a serious 30 year problem, I was filled with all of the usual preconceived ideas relating to hypnosis when I booked my first session. However, when I arrived John was really friendly, welcoming and explained everything clearly to me so that I could fully embrace the experience and what an amazing experience it has been. Over a course of sessions the problem I had has completely gone and I am overwhelmed by the change in myself and this is all thanks to John, his professionalism and what he does. The only thing I wish I had done differently is embraced the idea of hypnotherapy much sooner as I am blown away by the profound positive impact it has had on my life. John, I can't recommend or thank you enough! I hope many more people have the opportunity to utilise hypnotherapy with you to enact such positive change in their lives too.

I found John through an FND site. I’ve started suffering with Functional neurological disorder in August 2022 my symptoms initially were stroke like symptoms loss of speech and weakness in my left hand side a few months on and I started with seizures and tics my mobility deteriorated with weakness in my legs also my speech was very slow or sometimes struggled to speak at all. I started seeing John at the beginning of December John made me feel welcomed straight away and very relaxed, we spoke in depth aboy ill and any issues I’d had in my past he called it emptying my bucket . I had probably 5 or 6 sessions with him each week he asked me for a target to achieve and each week I smashed my target. One week I went in and I felt I’d gone backwards on my illness I was very anxious with tics and my speech. He suggested let’s leave it for two weeks for the next session in which I agreed. Two weeks later I returned for my session and I was like a new person my speech was normal my walking back to normal and my confidence was back . We worked on a rate scale my lowest was 0 and my best was 9/9.5 well I definitely reached my 9.5. Don’t get me wrong I still have seizures but my life is so much better. Thanks to John and his work my life is nearly back to normal. I would like anybody who’s reading this and are having problems please just go and have a session, to me it was worth every penny. Thank you John you helped me back to being me plus the 3ps of course.

Had 1 session with j Lowson Hypnotherapy to stop smoking. I went from smoking 20-30 per day to detesting the smell the day after my session. This is a must for anybody who is 100% committed to quitting. I didn't even need any help ie gum/ vapes to combat any craving as there wasn't any. I feel much healthier and have a much more positive outlook as well as that all important money in my wallet. A huge thanks

I had a double session with John to stop smoking nearly 3 months ago now.I am 52 years old and had smoked since 1983.I have stopped several times before but lasted only 4 to 6 weeks.In the last 3 months since the session I haven’t craved for a cigarette once.I thought I might of got a craving when I had a drink.Absolutely nothing at all.I feel great in myself and proud that I don’t smoke anymore.Its a great feeling.Feel fitter,can taste food properly.I truly know I would never go back to it again.Its well in the past. I thought the stop smoking psychology John used during the session was brilliant,really focusing on all the reasons why you shouldn’t smoke.During the hypnosis I was totally at ease and relaxed.Everything John said just seemed to sink in.For me this is a no brainier if you want to stop smoking for good.Found john to be professional and really easy to talk to.Money very well spent!

Immense improvement in such a short space of time. Can't believe that I was that guy a few weeks go. It feels alien thinking about it. Could not recommend John enough, best money I've ever spent on myself. Invest in yourself and don't look back.
