About Borbala

Borbala (Bee) Shehata-Jakab offers a warm, person-centred approach that helps people feel seen and heard. She uses Client-Centred Therapy as a core way of working and builds a therapeutic relationship based on trust and acceptance. Sessions are aimed at adults aged 18 and over who want space to talk about difficult feelings or questions of identity.

Bee describes her practice as integrative, drawing on ideas from psychodynamic, humanistic and cognitive behavioural perspectives to suit each person’s needs. She uses practical techniques when helpful, including dreamwork, chair work, therapeutic journaling and working with images and symbols, and these are offered as optional tools rather than requirements.

Her work often focuses on identity and how personality forms within relationships. This can include exploring issues such as low self-esteem, guilt, anger or the effects of feeling unable to express one’s true self. The aim is to help people find strengths and new ways of coping when life feels confusing or overwhelming.

With five years of experience and professional registrations BACP and NCPS, she brings a thoughtful, steady presence to sessions. She describes therapy as a collaborative process where the pace and direction follow the client’s priorities.

Sessions are conducted in English and Hungarian and take place in the United Kingdom. To start, clients follow the platform’s Start Therapy process and schedule according to the therapist’s availability.

How therapeutic approaches shape online work

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening with empathy and helping people find their own way. It is useful for issues around identity, self-esteem and feeling understood in relationships.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without letting them dictate actions, supporting choices that match personal values. This approach can be helpful for anxiety, stress and coping with life changes.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss your goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, and will adapt methods as you go. Decisions about techniques are collaborative so the work fits your needs.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow check-ins that suit work or caregiving schedules. It can also let a person choose quieter surroundings, opt for shorter check-ins when time is limited, or avoid being on camera when that would feel better. Registered or accredited professionals can offer these practical benefits while tailoring the approach to what you want to address in therapy.
