About Borbala
Borbala (Bee) Shehata-Jakab is a counsellor with BACP and NCPS credentials and five years' experience working in the United Kingdom. She supports adults aged 18 and over with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and identity concerns. She also lists work with grief, trauma and abuse, parenting, career and life changes, including guilt and shame-related issues.
Bee uses an integrative approach that draws on several therapeutic perspectives. She blends elements of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Attachment-Based thinking alongside client-centred work. Sessions can include practical exercises or creative techniques when helpful.
Practical tools sometimes used include journal work, chair work and exploring images or dreams. These are optional methods offered to help people clarify feelings and notice patterns. Bee describes the therapeutic relationship as the place to try out new ways of thinking and behaving.
She pays close attention to identity and personality within relationships. That focus is aimed at helping people who feel stuck by shame, guilt, low self-esteem or difficulties with attachment. Conversations look at how past experiences shape current choices and feelings.
Bee works in English and Hungarian and lists additional attention to areas such as abandonment, codependency, caregiving stress, autism-related issues and blended family challenges. To begin, the site process asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the platform.
How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choosing actions that align with personal values; it is useful for anxiety, guilt and difficulty moving forward. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early and ongoing relationship patterns shape emotional responses and helps people recognise and change unhelpful relational habits. Client-Centred Therapy emphasises an open, non-judgemental conversation where the client leads the pace and focus of the work.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist discusses different methods and helps identify what fits the client’s needs and preferences. That collaborative process means approaches can be tried and adjusted as therapy continues.
If you are considering online sessions, please confirm the exact session formats before booking as the biography does not specify them. In general, online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Therapists and registered or accredited professionals use these methods to keep sessions practical and focused on daily life and relationships.
