About Borbala
Borbala (Bee) Shehata-Jakab uses a person-centred, integrative approach to make therapy practical and approachable for people under stress. She blends gentle exploration with concrete strategies so clients can manage anxiety, low mood and life transitions. Bee prioritises a respectful space where people can talk honestly about identity, relationships and parenting concerns.
With five years of practice, she draws on several methods to match each person's needs. That means conversations may include talking about patterns in relationships, developing coping skills, or looking at how past experiences shape current feelings.
Background and approach
Sessions can also use creative techniques like journaling, chair work or working with images when the client finds them helpful. She supports those dealing with grief, trauma, low self-esteem and challenges linked to sexual orientation and gender identity. Bee also helps people facing career changes, caregiver stress and issues connected to separation or blended family situations.
Parenting is a focus area she addresses by helping parents manage stress and think through practical strategies. Bee holds BACP and NCPS credentials, which are listed as professional registrations. She works from the United Kingdom and runs sessions in English and Hungarian.
International clients are not currently accepted. Therapy is offered through flexible online formats such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging. Sessions are arranged through a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time, and the process to begin is to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to availability.

Therapeutic approaches applied to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, while focusing on valued actions that move life forward. This approach can be useful for anxiety, low mood and coping with life changes.Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape how a person connects with others now. It is often used to understand relationship patterns, communication problems and attachment issues that cause ongoing distress.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic work. The therapist will discuss options and adapt techniques to suit the person's goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process where decisions about methods are made together rather than imposed.
Online sessions are available as video calls, phone conversations, live chat or text messaging, offering flexibility to fit different schedules and lifestyles. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be a good choice when bandwidth is limited, and messaging or chat can support short check-ins or reflective writing between sessions. These formats make it easier to keep continuity of care during moves, work changes or busy parenting routines, while letting the therapist use ACT and attachment ideas in ways that suit each person.
