About Deboshmita
Deboshmita "Diya" Bhanja is an ACA counsellor based in Australia with six years of clinical practice. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression and sleep problems. Diya also supports those dealing with relationship strain, parenting challenges, addiction and career uncertainty.
She describes her approach as warm, compassionate and interactive. Sessions aim to be nonjudgemental and respectful, with practical conversation rather than labels. Diya encourages small, manageable steps when people feel overwhelmed.
Her practice draws on several approaches kept simple and practical. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy helps people spot and shift unhelpful thinking and routines. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy supports finding personal values and moving towards them despite difficult thoughts or feelings.
Diya also uses client-centred work to follow what matters most to each person and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy skills for emotion regulation when feelings feel intense. These approaches are blended to suit the concerns the person brings, whether that is grief, trauma, ADHD or low self-esteem.
She notes a focus on sleep and rest as part of overall wellbeing and will talk through bedtime routines, daytime habits and coping strategies that can improve rest. Plans are tailored to each individual and revised as progress is made.
To begin, Diya asks people to share their goals and current challenges so she can match techniques to what will help most. Her style aims to be practical, steady and encouraging throughout the process.
How chosen approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values even when thoughts are difficult. It is useful for anxiety, low mood and motivation problems. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on noticing unhelpful thoughts and habits and testing small behaviour changes to reduce symptoms like worry and sleep disruption. Client-Centred Therapy emphasises being listened to and having the conversation follow the person's priorities, which supports trust and clearer goals.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about their needs, goals and preferences and will adapt techniques if something does not fit. That decision is collaborative and can change as progress is made.
The original profile does not specify which online session formats are used, so confirm the available options before booking. Online work can make sessions easier to fit into a weekday routine, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so people can focus on strategies for sleep, stress and daily routines. Therapists who use these approaches can guide practical exercises, sleep planning and behavioural experiments that suit day-to-day life and the goals discussed in sessions.
