John comes from a business background as a company director for an independent electrical wholesaler, and after being in the electrical industry for over 30 years John has a wealth of sales, marketing and commercial astuteness behind him. John decided to take a change in career after experiencing the power of hypnotherapy first hand and he decided that this would become his new career.

After experiencing anxiety, depression and other destructive behavioural issues, caused by personal events in his life, John tried to get the help he knew he needed, however it was a close friend who was a non-practicing hypnotherapist introduced him to hypnotherapy.

The power of the therapy just amazed him and was hooked from the very first session and the therapy allowed him to start rebuilding his life and seeing things from a new perspective, it was almost as if his brain had been rewired. Fascinated by the whole process he decided to start to research hypnotherapy and its therapeutic power. John completed his training with CPHT in Leeds for his HPD and DSFH.

John loves the solution focused side of the hypnotherapy and he found the CPHT training invaluable. Focusing on the solution as opposed to the problem, allows a more relaxed and non-intrusive method and seeing people achieve their goals and change their lives week on week is a job satisfaction never experienced ever before. Using the latest neuroscience evidence, knowing that everything in solution focused hypnotherapy is evidence based is a fantastic and credible advantage.

John is now a fully qualified solution focused hypnotherapist and runs his own busy practice J Lowson Hypnotherapy, operating out of the Halifax Hypnotherapy Clinic on the outskirts of Halifax in West Yorkshire, a business which he owns with his fiancée, whom has also since trained in Hypnotherapy after seeing the benefits as a volunteer for John whilst he was in training. Hypnotherapy taught John to re-focus on the positive aspects of life and helping people is now a big part of his life.

John lives with his fiancée on the outskirts of Halifax, his other passions in life are travelling, eating out and John is a keen musician having played keyboards in various bands over the years.

He is delighted to be part of the CPHT team, and looking forward to meeting and working with new students and offering the education and support to allow the students to practice and become competently qualified hypnotherapists.
