About Yau
Yau Tak "Marco" Lee is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) with seven years' experience. He works with a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, addictions, relationship and intimacy issues, and ADHD. Marco also supports people dealing with career stress, parenting strain, sleep problems and identity questions that often come up in young adulthood.
Marco uses a mix of approaches to suit each person. He draws on client-centred work to listen and reflect, cognitive behavioural techniques to spot and change unhelpful thinking, and attachment-focused ideas to look at how past relationships affect current ones. He also uses EMDR and dialectical behaviour ideas when they are helpful for processing difficult memories or building emotional skills.
Sessions are practical and conversational. Expect clear goals, skill-building, and time to talk through emotions and patterns that get in the way. Marco pays attention to how a person’s history shapes their responses today and works at a steady, collaborative pace.
He offers therapy in English, Mandarin and Cantonese, and accepts international clients. Costs vary with location and sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To start, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
Marco aims to help people feel more able to handle change and stress. He supports clients who want concrete steps - for sleep, mood, relationships or the day-to-day pressures of early adulthood.
Online therapy approaches and what they do
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early bonds shape current relationships and emotional patterns. It helps when past abandonment, attachment issues or relationship difficulties keep repeating in adulthood. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting; it gives space to understand feelings and make choices without pressure. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings and behaviours and teaches practical steps to change unhelpful patterns.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options with the client and agree what to try first. That choice is collaborative and can change as needs and goals become clearer.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make therapy easier to fit into study or work schedules and can reduce travel time. It also allows shorter check-ins, phone-only conversations when video is not convenient, or longer video sessions when more time is needed to process material. Registered or accredited professionals will discuss which format best suits practical needs and clinical aims when you start.
