About Deboshmita
Deboshmita "Diya" Bhanja is an ACA counsellor practising in Australia with six years of clinical experience. She welcomes people who are ready to make changes and offers steady support as they work through stress, anxiety, depression and questions about identity and relationships. Diya writes in a warm, approachable way and aims to make the first step feel manageable.
She works with a broad range of concerns including self-esteem struggles, parenting challenges, career stress, bipolar and ADHD, grief, trauma and addiction. Money and financial issues are listed among her areas of interest, so she can help people think about the emotional side of finances alongside life stressors. Sessions focus on practical next steps as well as understanding feelings and patterns.
Diya uses a gentle, interactive style. She aims to offer respect and sensitivity while avoiding stigmatising labels. Conversations tend to be collaborative, with space for discovery and homework geared to everyday life. Mindfulness and acceptance ideas often appear alongside thinking tools to break unhelpful cycles.
Her approach is flexible rather than fixed to one method. Diya blends Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy and emotionally-focused ideas to suit the person in front of her. Plans are personalised with clear goals and small doable tasks.
If someone prefers to work in English, Diya provides sessions in that language. To begin, she asks people to reflect on what they want to change and to be ready for a step-by-step process that balances insight with action.
Using evidence-based approaches in online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match their values; it can be useful for anxiety, depression and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking patterns and testing them with practical experiments, which helps with worry, low mood and sleep problems. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) concentrates on understanding emotions and improving how people communicate about difficult feelings, often helping with relationship strain and attachment issues.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences and together they will try methods that suit the situation. That collaborative process shapes the plan and can mix techniques from different approaches as needed.
The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so please confirm available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work, school and family routines, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when a quick conversation is helpful. They also let people use tools like worksheets, audio exercises and screen-shared resources during a session to support practice between appointments.
