About Borbala
Borbala (Bee) Shehata-Jakab works in an integrative way, blending several therapy styles to suit each person's needs. She is a counsellor who offers a calm, accepting space where adults can talk about identity, relationships and life changes. Bee speaks English and Hungarian and practises from the United Kingdom.
She draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Attachment-Based ideas to help with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem and depression.
How Borbala works
Sessions focus on practical steps and on understanding how past experiences shape current patterns. Therapy also covers grief, parenting concerns, career stress and the effects of trauma and abuse. Bee uses creative exercises when helpful, including journaling, chair work and working with images or dreams.
These are optional tools chosen to match what each person prefers. Work in sessions is collaborative and paced to what feels manageable for the client. Her background includes five years of professional experience and she holds BACP and NCPS credentials.
Bee approaches identity issues with particular attention to how relationships and attachment affect self-worth and choices. People can expect straightforward discussion, problem-solving and exploration of deeper themes. The aim is to uncover strengths and develop skills for coping with life changes.
If someone wants a mix of practical techniques and reflective work, Bee offers a flexible way of working.

Online support options
How therapeutic approaches work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most and take small, value-driven steps. It is useful for anxiety, stress and for coping with big life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical experiments to reduce symptoms such as low mood or excessive worry. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current bonds and self-esteem, and it can help when identity or relationship patterns feel stuck.Choosing the right approach is part of the process and will be decided together. The counsellor will listen to your goals, try different ideas and adjust the way of working according to what helps most. This collaborative method means the style of therapy can shift as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make counselling more flexible. Video works well for longer sessions and closer connection, while phone calls need less bandwidth and can fit into a busy day. Live chat or text sessions suit shorter check-ins or when writing helps you think things through. These options make it easier to keep therapy going around work, family and travel commitments.
