About

About Borbala

Borbala (Bee) Shehata-Jakab works from an integrative approach that draws on several therapies to match what each person needs. She offers a calm, accepting space for adults to talk through identity, relationships and life changes. Bee describes therapy as a collaborative process where trust guides the work forward.

She uses elements from Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, attachment-informed work and client-centred ideas to address anxiety, stress, low self-esteem and depression. The sessions also cover relationship concerns, grief, parenting strains and the effects of trauma and abuse.

Background and approach

There is a particular interest in issues connected to LGBT identity and how that shapes daily life. Her style includes practical exercises and creative tools such as journaling, chair work and looking at images or dreams when useful. These techniques are optional and introduced to support what a person wants to explore.

The therapist aims to help people notice patterns, try new responses and build clearer choices. Bee has five years of clinical experience and holds BACP and NCPS credentials. She works with adults aged 18 and over and speaks English and Hungarian.

She practices in the United Kingdom and frames sessions around each person’s goals. To begin, people are invited to reflect on what they want from therapy and to use the site process to match with her. Scheduling follows the platform steps and the therapist’s availability.

Online support

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Attachment-based work looks at how past relationships shape current feelings and patterns. Online sessions can use discussion and reflective exercises to help people notice relational triggers and try new responses in daily life.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. In remote sessions this often means setting simple experiments and homework, then reviewing progress together to build practical coping skills.

Client-centred work gives space for a person to be heard and understood without pressure. The therapist listens closely and follows the person’s pace, offering empathy and acceptance while ideas for change emerge.

Finding the right approach is usually a shared process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful, and then adapt techniques over time. This collaborative planning helps match methods to specific concerns and life demands.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find online counselling easier to fit around work, childcare or travel. It can make shorter check-ins simpler, reduce travel time and let people join from different locations, while the therapist and client agree the practical details together.
