About Borbala
Borbala (Bee) Shehata-Jakab works from an integrative perspective to help people explore identity, relationships and life stressors. She is a BACP and NCPS registered practitioner with five years' clinical experience. Bee offers a calm, empathic setting where adults can talk about things they have never talked about before.
She uses a mix of approaches rather than a single method. That means she can draw on psychodynamic ideas, humanistic ways of working and cognitive behavioural techniques.
Background and approach
Sessions often focus on how personal history and relationships shape current feelings and behaviour. Practical tools are offered when they suit the person. These can include dreamwork, chair work, therapeutic journaling and working with images or symbols.
Those techniques are optional and used to support whatever someone wants to explore. A key emphasis is on identity and personality within relationships. Bee helps people who feel stuck by shame, low self-esteem, anger or uncertainty about who they are.
The work aims to uncover strengths and build skills for coping with change and loss. People will find a supportive place to reflect and name difficult feelings. Conversations are paced to each person's needs and may include short exercises to try between sessions.
To begin, Bee asks new clients to complete a brief questionnaire and then schedule sessions based on her availability.

How Borbala works online
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and how someone responds to different methods. Together they decide whether to try ACT techniques, attachment work, client‑centred conversations or a mix of these options.
The biography does not list specific online session formats, so please confirm which formats are available before booking. In general, online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check‑ins when needed. It also lets people use exercises such as journaling or imagery between sessions in ways that fit their daily routine. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt therapeutic techniques to remote settings, and the therapist will recommend practical ways to make sessions work for the individual's circumstances.
