Hi, I'm Sanja Joy - a Rapid Transformational Therapy® Practitioner, Hypnotherapist and Somatic Practitioner, blending science, intuition and culture to make healing feel human.
As a South Asian Tamil woman and eldest daughter, born and raised in London with a life now spanning the UK and France, I understand the layers of culture, identity, family expectations and what it means to call more than one place home.
Before moving into therapeutic work, my career took me through Big Four finance and the United Nations, so I understand the pressure of high performing environments; where you can appear capable and composed on the outside while carrying far more underneath.
I believe what we don't process can continue to show up in our thoughts, relationships, behaviours and bodies. That's why my approach goes beyond talking alone.
I work with the conscious mind, subconscious mind, body and nervous system to uncover the root of what is keeping you stuck and support meaningful, lasting change.
My work is shaped by the Rapid Transformational Therapy® framework and integrates hypnotherapy, psychotherapy-based techniques, NLP, CBT principles, neuroscience-informed tools and somatic practices - always tailored to you.
Confidential • Trauma-informed • Culturally aware
I created Guidance with Joy because I saw how many people — especially within the South Asian community — were carrying stress, overwhelm and unspoken pain silently, while still holding everything together.
So many of us were raised to survive, stay strong and not speak too loudly about our emotions, even when our nervous systems were overwhelmed. And so much of the wellness space felt disconnected from the cultural realities many of us live.
So I built something different — emotionally safe, culturally understanding and genuinely healing.
You are more than a collection of symptoms and therapy shouldn't feel one size fits all.
My approach brings together the conscious mind, subconscious mind, body and nervous system, allowing us to work with both what you understand intellectually and what you may still be carrying emotionally and physically.
Depending on what you need, our work can draw from therapy, hypnotherapy, RTT®, NLP, CBT principles, neuroscience-informed tools and somatic practices.
The aim isn't simply to help you cope better. It's to understand the patterns beneath what you're experiencing, support your nervous system, and create change that can carry into everyday life.
Understand thoughts, beliefs and patterns.
Explore what may be driving the pattern underneath.
Notice and work with physical responses to stress and emotion.
Build greater regulation, safety and capacity.
Working with the conscious mind, subconscious mind, body and nervous system to support deeper, lasting change.
Therapeutic and subconscious work combined with somatic and nervous-system support; helping us understand the deeper patterns behind what you're experiencing.
Created specifically for you and yours to keep for life. Through repetition and neuroplasticity, your recording helps reinforce the new thoughts, beliefs and responses we build in your sessions.
Understanding the role culture, identity, family and upbringing can play in healing with clients supported across Europe, Asia, Africa and South America.
Where hypnosis forms part of your therapy, you'll receive a personalised recording created specifically around you, your goals and the work we uncover together.
Through repetition and neuroplasticity, listening regularly helps reinforce the new thoughts, beliefs and responses introduced during your sessions.
It's yours to keep for LIFE, so the work can continue between sessions and long after our time together ends.
Listen. Repeat. Reinforce.
Support with the depth to gently challenge the patterns keeping you stuck.
A space where you don't have to perform - you can simply arrive as you are.
You'll feel deeply heard - including the things that can be difficult to put into words.
We make sense of the patterns - not just what's happening, but what may be underneath it.
Mind and body both have a place here - because sometimes understanding something isn't the same as feeling differently.
Culturally aware support - with space for identity, family expectations, motherhood and the experiences that have shaped you. Sessions in English • Tamil support available
Gentle doesn't mean surface-level - I'll support you with warmth while also helping you recognise what may be keeping you stuck.
Every package includes a personalised hypnosis recording made for your goals. Payment plans available on selected packages.
