About Borbala
Borbala (Bee) Shehata-Jakab offers an integrative approach that blends practical tools with reflective work. She aims to create a calm, accepting space where adults can talk about issues they have not shared before. Bee focuses on identity, self‑esteem, relationships and the emotional effects of life changes and loss.
She works from a mix of approaches to match what each person needs. That can mean using elements of cognitive behavioural therapy, attachment‑based ideas or client‑centred listening during sessions. Practical techniques such as journaling, chair work or working with images are offered when they suit the person.
Bee has five years of experience and holds BACP and NCPS credentials. She supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and concerns linked to sexual identity. Other areas she works with include parenting strain, career matters and relationship problems where identity or attachment are relevant.
Sessions are framed around a trusting relationship that helps people notice patterns and try different ways of coping. The work blends short‑term skills with deeper reflection about how past experiences shape current feelings. Each plan is shaped around the client’s priorities and pace.
Her style is warm and exploratory, with attention to both feelings and practical steps. People can expect clear dialogue about goals, optional creative exercises, and a steady focus on building self‑understanding and everyday coping skills.

Approaches that translate well to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then focus on valuable actions. It is useful for anxiety, stress and coping with life changes. Attachment‑Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect present feelings and behaviour, which can help with relationship worries and identity issues. Client‑Centred Therapy places the person’s experience at the heart of sessions, offering empathic listening and support to explore identity and self‑esteem.Choosing the right approach is part of the early work together. The therapist will discuss options and try approaches that fit the client’s goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process where methods can be adjusted as the work develops.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm the session formats offered before booking as they are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week and reduce travel time. It also allows for shorter check‑in sessions when that suits the day, or sessions without video when less bandwidth or a quieter setup is preferable. Registered or accredited professionals can use these ways of working to combine reflective conversation with practical exercises such as journaling, values work or guided exercises adapted for remote sessions.
