About Deboshmita
Deboshmita "Diya" Bhanja is an ACA counsellor practising in Australia with six years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, anger and life changes, and supports those dealing with trauma, relationship difficulties and career pressures.
Diya uses straightforward talk and practical exercises in sessions. She helps people notice unhelpful patterns, practice new skills, and make small changes that reduce overwhelm. Sessions are interactive and focus on real-life problems rather than abstract theory.
Her work draws on a mix of approaches including cognitive behavioural techniques and acceptance-based strategies. That means she will often combine exercises to change unhelpful thoughts with actions that align with a person’s values. Emotion-focused work is used where feelings need clearer expression and understanding.
People come to Diya for help with anger that shows up at work, at home, or in close relationships. She also supports concerns such as sleep disruption, grief, addiction and parenting stress. The focus is on practical steps to manage reactions and improve communication.
Diya describes her approach as interactive and nonjudgemental. She avoids labelling and aims to treat each person with respect. To begin, she asks about current difficulties, what has helped in the past, and what realistic goals look like moving forward.
How sessions work
Therapy approaches and how online sessions can work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages noticing thoughts without getting stuck in them and choosing actions that match personal values. It can help when anger becomes a pattern that gets in the way of relationships or goals. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviours to change reactions and mood. It suits people who want concrete tools to manage snaps, rumination or workplace frustration. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people name and work through difficult feelings so they can communicate more clearly and reduce build-up of resentment.Figuring out which approach fits best is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to match methods to their needs, goals and preferences. That might mean combining ACT with CBT techniques, or using emotion-focused exercises alongside practical skills training.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. They also let people use quieter surroundings, turn off video when preferable, or schedule brief coaching-style sessions during a work break. The therapist will discuss practical arrangements and adapt the plan to suit everyday life.
