About Yau
Yau Tak "Marco" Lee helps people manage stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, depression and relationship or intimacy concerns. He also supports people dealing with addictions, sleep problems, self-esteem issues, parenting stress, career change and ADHD. Marco works in English, Mandarin and Cantonese and practices from the United Kingdom.
Marco uses a straightforward, empathetic approach. Sessions focus on what is causing difficulties now and practical ways to move forward. He draws on person-centred principles to listen and respond to what each person brings.
Background and approach
He also uses cognitive behavioural techniques and elements of EMDR and dialectical behaviour work when these fit the situation. Marco has seven years' experience and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. That background shapes a human-centred way of working that values empathy and respect.
He aims to help people build confidence and stronger coping skills so day-to-day life feels more manageable. In a typical session Marco will help someone identify patterns that are keeping problems going. He will suggest small, practical steps to try between sessions and teach skills for managing strong feelings.
He pays attention to attachment and relationship patterns when these affect wellbeing. People come because they want clearer thinking, calmer reactions and better sleep. Marco frames therapy as a collaborative process where the person sets goals and the work is tailored to those aims.

Approaches that guide online sessions
Attachment-based work looks at how early relationship patterns shape current feelings and reactions and helps people form more supported ways of relating. It can be useful where trust, abandonment or attachment concerns affect relationships and self-esteem.Client-centred counselling focuses on listening and understanding. The counsellor reflects what someone says and helps them find their own solutions, which suits people who want space to clarify values and goals.
Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, teaches practical skills to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. It is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep problems and coping with life changes.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Marco will talk with each person about their goals, preferences and what has or has not helped before. Together they decide which methods to try and review progress as therapy continues.
Online formats give practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues help the work. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into a short break. Live chat and text messaging suit quick check-ins, written reflection or people who prefer typing over speaking. These options make it easier to keep therapy going around work, family and travel commitments.
