About Borbala
Borbala (Bee) Shehata-Jakab is a counsellor registered with BACP and NCPS and has five years of practice in the United Kingdom. She supports people aged 18 and over who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, identity questions, low self-esteem, depression, grief, trauma and parenting challenges. Sessions use clear, practical conversation rather than jargon.
Bee works from an integrative stance that includes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), attachment-informed ideas and emotionally focused and client-centred ways of working. She can switch between practical exercises and reflective talk depending on what a person needs in the moment. That might mean noticing unhelpful thoughts and testing them, or looking at how early relationships shape current patterns.
She also uses optional creative tools such as guided journaling, chair work and image work when these suit the person’s way of thinking. These techniques are offered as additional ways to reflect and practise different responses, not as required steps.
Bee often focuses on identity and personality within relationships, including issues such as abandonment, attachment concerns, codependency, communication problems and blended family dynamics. She also lists work around ageing issues, autism and Asperger syndrome, caregiver stress, and coping with life changes.
Sessions are conducted in English and Hungarian. People are invited to consider which practical steps they want to try and to work at a pace that feels manageable. To start, clients follow the site’s matching process and schedule a first appointment.
How her approaches work for online sessions
CBT is focused on noticing unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavioural experiments. It is useful for problems like anxiety, low mood and stress where people want structured steps to change thinking and habits. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) emphasises values-based action and learning to accept difficult feelings while committing to practical changes. It can help with chronic worry, grief and life transitions. Attachment-Based ideas look at how early relationships shape current patterns and can be helpful for repeating relationship difficulties and communication problems. Choosing the best approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals and preferences and suggest which methods to try. This is a collaborative process and can change over time as different needs arise. Please confirm the current session formats before booking, as they are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around work, childcare or travel. It also allows for a mix of focused skills practice and reflective conversation without needing to travel to an appointment. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt sessions so that quieter check-ins take less time, or practical exercises are set between sessions to practise in daily life.Areas of expertise
