Borbala (Bee) Shehata-Jakab, BACP, NCPS

Borbala (Bee) Shehata-Jakab is an integrative therapist and Clinical Superviser who works with adults aged 18 years old and over. She creates a warm, empathic space where people are invited to explore thoughts and feelings they may not have shared before, with an emphasis on acceptance and personal discovery.

Her integrative practice draws on psychodynamic, humanistic, and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) perspectives, allowing her to adapt methods to each person’s concerns and goals. She values a collaborative relationship in which therapist and client navigate challenges together, aiming to uncover strengths and build practical skills for managing stress, anxiety, relationship issues, and life transitions.

Bee offers a range of creative techniques - including dreamwork, chair work, therapeutic journaling, and the use of images and symbols - as optional tools to deepen insight and support healing. Her particular focus is on identity and personality in the context of relationships, helping clients address emotions such as guilt, low self-esteem, anger, and the difficulties that can come from being unable to express or accept one’s true self.

She holds BACP and NCPS credentials, reflecting professional standing with recognised counselling bodies, and provides therapy in English and Hungarian. Her work aims to strengthen identity, improve relationships, and equip clients with new ways of coping as they move through life’s transitions.

Integrative Approaches for Online Therapy

Borbala (Bee) Shehata-Jakab blends practical therapeutic approaches to support clients through online sessions, tailoring methods to each person’s needs. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most to them and develop flexible ways to respond to difficult thoughts and feelings, which can be useful for stress, anxiety, and life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns formed in close relationships and explores how early experiences influence current connections - it is helpful for relationship difficulties, attachment issues, and challenges with trust and intimacy. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, active listening, and the client’s own capacity for growth, providing space to explore identity, self-esteem, and personal values.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Bee works collaboratively with clients to identify the best fit based on their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they review what feels most helpful and adapt the approach as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging - so clients can choose formats that suit their schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain consistency in therapy, access support during life transitions, and integrate therapeutic work into everyday life with greater convenience.
