About Borbala

Borbala (Bee) Shehata-Jakab is an integrative therapist who works with adults. She helps people explore identity, relationships and the everyday patterns that shape how they think and act. Bee offers a calm, accepting space to talk about issues people may not have shared before and to look for clearer ways forward.

She uses a blend of approaches rather than a single method. That means she can draw on ideas from psychodynamic, humanistic and cognitive behavioural approaches to meet each person's needs. Sessions can include practical tools such as journaling, chair work and working with images when these feel helpful to the person.

A central focus is identity and personality within relationships. Bee supports people who struggle with low self-esteem, feelings of guilt, anger, or the unease that comes from not being able to express one’s true self. Conversations aim to uncover strengths and to practice new ways of coping with life’s stresses.

Her wider practice also covers common concerns such as anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and parenting stresses. She works with career-related worries, family problems and challenges that come with major life changes. The emphasis is on understanding patterns of thought and everyday habits that get in the way of living as you want.

Bee is based in the United Kingdom and brings five years of clinical experience to her work. She holds BACP and NCPS credentials and offers therapy in English and Hungarian.

How therapeutic approaches work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings and then choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, stress and feeling stuck. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviours to change everyday habits and mood. It often includes practical exercises you can try between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences and will suggest methods that fit those aims. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are made as needs become clearer during therapy.

Session formats are not specified here, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, for example by cutting travel time or allowing shorter check-ins during a workday. They can also let someone choose a quieter setting or avoid being on camera when that helps concentration. Registered or accredited professionals aim to adapt exercises like journaling, chair work and imagery to suit an online conversation and to keep focus on thoughts and everyday habits.
