About Borbala
Borbala (Bee) Shehata-Jakab is a counsellor who uses an integrative approach to help people facing depression, anxiety and life stress. She offers a calm, accepting space where adults can talk about things that feel hard. Bee works in English and Hungarian and is based in the United Kingdom.
She combines ideas from different therapeutic traditions so sessions can be tailored to each person. That might mean using cognitive behavioural strategies to spot unhelpful thinking, or exploring past relationships to understand current patterns.
Background and approach
Practical tools such as journaling, imagery and chair work may be introduced when they suit the client's goals. Her main focus is on identity and how relationships shape self‑esteem and sense of belonging. She helps people untangle feelings like shame, guilt or emptiness and build clearer ways of understanding themselves.
Conversations often look at how past experiences influence choices now and at ways to try new responses. Bee has five years of clinical experience and holds BACP and NCPS credentials. She also offers clinical supervision.
Sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat or text messaging to fit different needs and schedules. People seeking support are guided to reflect on values and make practical changes that matter day to day. The aim is to strengthen coping, reduce distress and help clients find ways to move forward from difficult periods.
To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to the therapist's availability.

Online support
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss your goals, preferences and practical needs and then agree a way of working that fits. This is a collaborative process so plans can change as you learn what helps most.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging to give practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier during a short break, live chat suits brief check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it possible to fit therapy around work, family and travel commitments while keeping the focus on progress and practical change.
