About Deboshmita
Deboshmita "Diya" Bhanja is an ACA counsellor practising in Australia with six years of clinical experience. She offers calm, practical support for people dealing with depression, anxiety, low self-esteem and life transitions. Diya aims to make the first steps feel manageable and respectful.
Her background includes work with trauma and emotional abuse, and she regularly supports people facing relationship strain, parenting challenges, career stress and attention-related difficulties. Codependency and attachment concerns are among the additional areas she attends to.
Diya describes her approach as warm, compassionate and interactive. Sessions are collaborative - she listens, helps clarify what matters to the person, and builds simple goals together. She avoids stigmatising labels and treats each person with sensitivity.
She blends several evidence-informed methods to match the needs of the individual. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) helps with unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and mindfulness are used to strengthen values-driven action and emotional tolerance.
Diya also draws on emotion-focused and skills-based work such as Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) and elements of client-centred care to support emotional regulation, communication and self-compassion. Treatment plans are personalised and adjusted as progress is made.
People who prefer a gentle, goal-oriented style often find her practical and empathic. She speaks English and can work with clients based in Australia who want steady, respectful support through difficult life changes.

Diya aims to be collaborative and will help you try approaches that match your goals and preferences. Together you can adjust methods as progress is made and choose what feels most useful for day-to-day life.
