Welcome to Justin Cooper’s practice!
A warm welcome to my website. My name is Justin Cooper, I am a native-English speaking therapist, counsellor and teacher with a lot of experience.
Please note that I have taken a one-year sabbatical from my practice as from September 2023. In this year I will just be teaching and giving workshops.
My practice is located in the Sprielder forest close to Putten in the beautiful Veluwe. Prior to this, my practice was based in Amsterdam for 2o years. My services include hypnotherapy, coaching, men's work, systemic constellation and workshops focusing on healing the motherwound and fatherwound. I also teach on various professional courses at the Academy of Psychodynamics.
Online sessions
It is possible to do online hypnotherapy and counselling sessions. I have actually been doing this for years for people living abroad with great success. Please click here for testimonials.
My personal vision
The way I work is both down to earth and practical and at the same time holistic and integrative. I strongly believe that every human being has a sort of self-healing ability, an inner source, with which we can restore the balance in ourselves and improve the quality of our lives. Just like learning to drive a car you can also learn to tap into your own inner resources.
Furthermore, I see my work as a 'wake-up call' which means helping you break through the layers of conditioned behaviour and fear so you can reconnect to what is really important to you and be true to yourself.
It's about being more present in your body, opening your heart and calming your mind. This is where creativity and spirituality meet, where playfulness and curiosity are alive and fulfilment and purpose serve as an inner compass.
25th March free online trial lesson – Life Force Ritual
It is with a big inner smile and gratitude that I announce my first online Life Force Ritual course in English starting on the 14th May. There are 8 online sessions and 1 full practice day spread over 2 months.
The life force ritual is a meditation in motion which uses simple movements which allow you to enter a deep state of consciousness. The movements are based on powerful symbols from different wisdom traditions from the East and West which connect you to the totality of life deep inside you.
I can say with my hand on my heart that the life force ritual is 'life-changing'. Out of everything I have ever done in my life, this ritual has created the most powerful shift in consciousness.

Testimonials
I promised I would update you with news over my achievements in life. You know I wanted to get out of my past job and find something more fulfilling. I had an important interview opportunity but just missed out… I then stopped the sessions with you because I felt stronger and more confident. I continued with my intention to succeed in that matter and I got it! Since 4 months already I have my dream job, with amazing conditions where I feel valued and considered. I couldn’t have dreamed of something better and I got it with your great help! In that respect I am very happy and I continue to try and apply everything I learned with you.
The atmosphere is relaxed and you work at a pace that’s really good for me. I always feel understood and you help me go deeper into my thoughts and help me reach feelings I am unable to feel without guidance at this point. I am also learning skills that I can also use by myself. The sessions have made a huge difference to my life, I am no longer bogged down with irrational fears. You have helped me to breathe through the fear and connect with the feelings underneath. This has helped me get a grip and feel like I’m getting back the control over my life.
Your calming presence made me feel very much at ease. I didn’t expect to be able to open up in the way I did and even when I visited the pain inside I was surprised that I actually felt stronger as opposed to feeling weaker.
My experiences in the sessions with Justin were intense and have created a big shift within myself. Justin tunes into what you are feeling and experiencing in a very intuitive way, he doesn’t follow strict guidelines. He genuinely listens, which is a quality not every therapist has. Thank you!
I would like to take the opportunity to thank you again for your help. My husband and I attended your therapy sessions over 3 years ago. We were trying to conceive & had been for 3 years previous, without success. Your hypnotherapy resulted in us successfully conceiving, only a month later! The day that I read the positive pregnancy test was one of the happiest moments of my life! That and of course the days of my sons’ births.I now have a second son who is nearly one year old. I will be forever grateful to you for helping us in this unique way. Bless you & I hope you are healthy & well. Thanks again!
The sessions have had a huge impact on my life. I came to you struggling in the aftermath of a burnout feeling like my world had been turned upside down. I have been able to understand what was going on inside myself and how old behavioural patterns created the burnout. The work we did on my relationship with my parents has helped me find healthier and more effective ways of working, and most importantly, I have learned to take care of myself more. Thank you so much!
Thank you so much for guiding me through my subconscious issues, I wouldn’t have been able to have done without you. The way you work is very special, no other therapist has been able to understand and help me in the way that you have helped me. I’m wishing you all the best in your life.
My attitude to life has changed. I am more positive, optimistic, happier and more relaxed. My relationship has improved considerably. I stay more calm in stressful situations and no longer run away from confrontational situations.
I’m not sure if you will remember me, but I came to see you in September 2012 and I wanted to send you a quick email to say thank you. Thank you for your helping me to find myself again. Since seeing you, I gained the confidence to leave end my marriage. It’s been a bumpy and somewhat dark path at times, but a path that needed to be taken. I’m truly happy for the first time in a long time and I like who I’ve become. We managed to split amicably for the sake of the children and I think/hope they have come out of the situation unscathed. So thank you for your time, advice and for listening. I nearly didn’t turn up to our first appointment as I was scared about what it would be bring, but I am so glad I walked up those stairs and rang the bell – it was truly life changing.
My search for the right therapist and therapy was a difficult one as I was not really sure what I needed. So when I went for my first session with Justin I did have my doubts. Fortunately, Justin was able to naturally put me at ease, with and without words. I felt I could trust him and without that I don’t think I would have been able to really open up. It’ is quite amazing how much has changed in myself and my life in the space of a couple of months. Thank you so much!
