About Deboshmita
Deboshmita "Diya" Bhanja is an ACA counsellor based in Australia with six years of clinical practice. She works with people dealing with anxiety, depression, low self-esteem and the everyday pressures that follow big life changes. Diya also offers support around relationships, parenting stresses, career uncertainty, ADHD and the emotional effects of trauma.
Diya uses a conversational and interactive style in sessions. She avoids stigmatising labels and aims for respectful, sensitive discussion. Sessions typically focus on practical skills and clearer thinking about next steps rather than lengthy theory.
Her approach draws on accepted therapies such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. She also integrates elements from Dialectical Behaviour Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy when they suit someone’s needs. That mix helps with mood, anxiety, patterns of avoidance, and relationship difficulties.
People working through grief, addictions, compassion fatigue or chronic health problems can use sessions to make plans for coping and everyday routines. Diya can also address attachment concerns, commitment or communication problems, body image and caregiver stress.
She conducts sessions in English within Australia. The profile lists a subscription payment model that can be cancelled at any time; fees vary by location. To start, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the online booking flow.
How Diya uses evidence-based approaches online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It encourages choosing actions that match personal values so life feels more guided and meaningful, which can suit people facing identity or career uncertainty.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings and behaviours. It uses straightforward exercises to test unhelpful thinking and build more effective habits for anxiety, sleeping problems or low mood.
Diya treats finding the right approach as a collaborative process. She will discuss which methods fit your goals and try different tools to see what helps. That decision is made together, taking your preferences and immediate needs into account.
The profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around study, work or travel, and they can reduce time spent commuting. Some formats work better for short check-ins or when bandwidth is limited, while others suit longer, face-to-face style conversations. Ask about formats when you complete the matching questionnaire so you can pick what fits your routine.
