About Borbala
Borbala (Bee) Shehata-Jakab is a counsellor registered with BACP and NCPS in the United Kingdom with five years' experience working with adults. She works with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship issues, identity questions and grief. Bee also supports people facing parenting pressures, career decisions and coping with life changes.
She uses an integrative style that draws on several approaches. That means she can use Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Attachment-Based work and Emotionally-Focused ideas, among others, depending on what seems most useful. Sessions often focus on how early relationships and attachment patterns shape current problems and reactions.
In practice she offers straightforward techniques alongside reflective conversation. This can include journaling, guided imagery, chair work or talking through dreams when that feels helpful. These methods are optional and used to clarify feelings, test out different responses and practise new ways of relating.
Bee pays close attention to identity and personality in the setting of relationships. She helps people notice patterns such as people-pleasing, difficulty saying no, or losing themselves around someone else's moods. Work is practical - noticing patterns, trying small changes, and checking what makes things better or harder.
Sessions are conducted in English and Hungarian. People interested in working with her are asked to follow the service steps to complete a short matching questionnaire and book a first session.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online counselling
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It focuses on committing to actions that reflect personal values, which can help with anxiety, low mood and finding direction. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships affect current patterns. It helps people spot repeated reactions in relationships, such as people-pleasing or fear of abandonment, and practise different ways of relating.Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will discuss options with each person and decide together which methods to try first. That collaborative process includes checking what feels useful and adjusting the focus if something isn’t helping.
Confirm the session formats offered before booking, as these are not specified here. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when that suits a schedule. They also allow exercises such as guided journaling and imagery to be done between meetings, so practical work can continue outside sessions. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists often use these benefits to help clients work on boundaries, identity and relationship patterns while keeping the process manageable.
