Borbala (Bee) Shehata-Jakab, BACP, NCPS

Borbala (Bee) Shehata-Jakab is an integrative therapist and clinical superviser who works with adults aged 18 and over. With five years of professional experience, she creates a compassionate environment where people can explore thoughts and feelings they may not have shared before. Her approach emphasizes empathy and acceptance, and she aims to build a trusting relationship that helps clients navigate life’s challenges and find their own path.

As an integrative practitioner she draws on multiple theoretical perspectives, including psychodynamic, humanistic and cognitive behavioral therapy, to tailor support to each person’s needs. She offers optional creative techniques such as dreamwork, chair work, therapeutic journaling and the use of images and symbols to enrich the therapeutic process when appropriate. These tools are presented as choices that clients can accept or decline based on what feels useful.

Her principal focus is identity and personality within relationships, helping people address issues that arise when they struggle to express or accept their true selves. Difficulties with identity can lead to feelings such as guilt, low self-esteem or anger, and therapy aims to uncover strengths and develop practical skills to cope with those emotions.

She holds BACP and NCPS credentials, which indicate recognised professional registration and clinical training, and she provides therapy in English and Hungarian from her practice in the United Kingdom. Her work addresses a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family issues, trauma and abuse, grief, parenting and life changes.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people accept difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to actions that align with personal values. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, and situations where avoidance gets in the way of living a meaningful life.

Attachment-Based Therapy explores patterns of relating that develop from early relationships and how they affect current connections. This approach can help with relationship difficulties, attachment concerns and identity issues that surface in close bonds.

Client-Centered Therapy places the person’s experience at the heart of the work, offering empathy, nonjudgmental listening and support to help clients find their own solutions. It is particularly helpful for building self-esteem and processing life changes.

Finding the right approach is part of therapy itself. Borbala works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods best suit their goals, needs and preferences, and she adapts the way she works as that understanding develops.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, access support from home, and maintain continuity of care when life circumstances change. Registered professionals and therapists can use these formats to deliver meaningful, goal-oriented work tailored to each individual.
