Borbala (Bee) Shehata-Jakab, BACP, NCPS

Borbala (Bee) Shehata-Jakab uses an integrative approach that blends several therapies to suit each person she meets. She creates a calm, accepting space for adults to talk about identity, relationships and difficult feelings. Bee is based in the United Kingdom and works in English and Hungarian. With five years' practice, she draws on methods from cognitive behavioural therapy, attachment work and client-centred listening. Sessions focus on practical ways to manage stress, anxiety, low self-esteem and depression. She also helps people deal with grief, trauma, parenting strain and career or life changes. Bee pays attention to how past relationships shape current patterns. That can include attachment or abandonment issues, codependency, communication problems and the impact of separation or blended family dynamics. She uses gentle techniques such as therapeutic journaling, imagery and role work when helpful and wanted by the person in therapy. She supports people who identify as LGBT and those exploring identity, including difficulties accepting or expressing who they are. Conversations aim to uncover strengths, build coping skills and make choices that fit the person's values and goals. Her style is straightforward and respectful. Sessions are a place to question, reflect and test new ways of relating. Practical tools and together-decided goals guide the work so changes can be noticed between sessions.

How approaches like ACT and attachment work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small, value-driven steps despite difficult thoughts or feelings. It is useful for anxiety, stress and coping with life changes when someone wants practical, values-based direction.

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships influence current patterns. It can help people understand relationship difficulties, communication problems and feelings of abandonment or emptiness by tracing how past attachments affect present behaviour.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. The therapist will talk with the person about goals and preferences, then suggest methods that fit. That decision is collaborative and may change as the work progresses.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and use of visual tools, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text-based messaging can suit shorter check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options help people fit therapy around work, family life and travel while keeping regular contact with a registered or accredited professional.
