About Borbala (Bee) Shehata-Jakab
Borbala (Bee) Shehata-Jakab is an integrative therapist and clinical supervisor who works with adults aged 18 and over, offering a compassionate and accepting space to explore personal difficulties and identity concerns. She brings together perspectives from psychodynamic, humanistic, and cognitive behavioral approaches to tailor support to each person's needs, drawing on a range of techniques to help clients explore thoughts, feelings, and relationship patterns.
Her practice often includes creative methods such as dreamwork, chair work, therapeutic journaling, and the use of images and symbols to deepen self-understanding. These tools are offered as optional ways to enrich the therapeutic process, adapted to what feels most helpful for each individual. A particular focus of her work is the exploration of identity and personality within the context of relationships, helping people who struggle with expressing or accepting their authentic selves.
When issues such as guilt, low self-esteem, anger, or difficulties in connection arise, she supports clients to uncover strengths, develop new coping skills, and navigate life transitions. Borbala works collaboratively to explore how past experiences shape present choices and to build clearer pathways toward the person someone wants to become. She holds BACP and NCPS credentials, with BACP referring to the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, a leading UK professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists.
