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 works with adults aged 18 and over. Her listed concerns include stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, LGBT issues, parenting strains, grief, trauma and family problems.
Bee uses an integrative approach that draws on several therapeutic perspectives. Sessions focus on exploring identity and personality as they relate to relationships. She offers practical ways to understand feelings like guilt, low self-esteem or anger that can follow from being unable to express or accept who you are.
She describes straightforward techniques such as chair work, therapeutic journaling and image-based exercises. These tools are optional and used to help people reflect or practise new responses. The therapist also works from cognitive behavioural and attachment-influenced ideas to support clearer thinking and connection.
In sessions she helps people name patterns, test new behaviours and build coping skills for everyday life. That includes managing work stress, parenting strain, bereavement or changes in relationship roles. The focus is on things that make daily life heavier and finding practical ways to shift them.
Bee works in English and Hungarian and combines discussion with creative tasks when useful. People are encouraged to bring the issues that matter most to them, and she aims to help them find clearer ways forward over time.
How sessions work
How her approaches are used in online sessions
Bee combines Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy to guide her work. ACT helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and commit to actions that match their values, which can help with anxiety, stress and life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current connections and can be useful for relationship concerns and identity issues.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. She will discuss what feels most useful, try methods in session and adjust them based on the person's goals and preferences. The decision about which tools to use is collaborative and can change over time.
The profile does not state specific session formats here, so confirm the current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, shorten travel time and allow for focused check-ins during a break. Some methods, like journaling or chair work, adapt well to remote conversation and can be used to practise skills between meetings.
