Borbala (Bee) Shehata-Jakab uses an integrative, person-focused approach to help people work through identity, relationship and life-change issues. She combines practical talking methods with creative techniques to make sense of difficult feelings. Bee works in English and Hungarian and practices from the United Kingdom.

She holds BACP and NCPS credentials and has five years of experience. Bee creates a calm, accepting space where people can speak openly about hard things.

Background and approach

She emphasises a respectful relationship and guides conversations so clients can notice what truly matters to them. Sessions are aimed at helping people uncover strengths, not just review problems. Her background draws on several approaches including cognitive behavioural ideas, attachment-focused thinking and client-centred values.

That mix lets her adapt the work to each person’s needs and goals. Practical tools may be used alongside reflective exercises when they help progress. Creative options such as journaling, imagery, chair work and dream exploration are available if a person wants them.

These tools are optional and used to deepen insight and emotional expression. Bee explains techniques in plain language and checks they feel helpful. She supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, grief, trauma and relationship difficulties.

Other areas include parenting stress, career changes and challenges around identity and belonging. Bee aims to help people find clearer ways forward and build better coping skills.

How her approach translates to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and taking small, committed steps toward them. It helps with anxiety, low mood and coping with life changes by encouraging practical action alongside acceptance of difficult feelings.

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. This approach can be useful for people struggling with relationship problems, trust, or identity issues as it highlights how past experiences influence present choices.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and life circumstances and then suggest methods that fit. Decisions are collaborative and can change as the person learns more about what helps.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation, phone can be easier when bandwidth is low, and text formats suit shorter check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, parenting and travel while keeping the focus on practical progress and emotional understanding.
