About Yau
Yau Tak "Marco" Lee is a counsellor who supports people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, grief, anger and addictions. He also helps with relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting strain, sleep problems, self-esteem, career challenges and coping with life changes. Marco practises in the United Kingdom and communicates in English, Mandarin and Cantonese.
Marco uses a human-centred approach that values empathy and respect. He listens closely and helps people make sense of their feelings. Sessions focus on practical steps as well as talking through painful memories and patterns that keep people stuck.
He draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current bonds. Cognitive behavioural techniques help people change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. He also uses elements from dialectical behaviour therapy and eye movement desensitisation and reprocessing where those methods suit the person’s needs.
Marco has seven years of clinical experience and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. That registration is noted here as supplied in his background.
People working with him can expect straightforward language and an emphasis on building confidence and self-value. Marco aims to help people find clearer ways to cope, whether they are dealing with bereavement, addiction, ongoing stress or recovery after a disaster or other major life event.
How his approaches transfer to online work
Attachment-based therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current connections and helps people notice and change patterns in close relationships. It can be useful for intimacy issues, abandonment worries and people who want to rebuild trust in relationships.Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviours interact. It helps people challenge unhelpful thinking and try new behaviours to reduce anxiety, depression and stress symptoms.
Eye movement desensitisation and reprocessing, EMDR, is a method used to help process distressing memories. It is sometimes chosen where trauma or difficult memories are central to a person’s difficulties.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs, and together they will decide which approaches to try or combine. Adjustments can be made as therapy progresses so the work stays relevant to the person’s priorities.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm the specific session formats available before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around work or family life, reduce travel time, and allow short check-ins when a full appointment would be hard to arrange. Registered or accredited professionals, including therapists who use the approaches above, can often adapt these methods to remote sessions so the focus remains on practical coping and emotional processing.
