About Yau

Yau Tak "Marco" Lee is a counsellor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, anger and grief. He also supports those facing trauma, addiction, relationship and intimacy concerns. Marco works with issues such as sleep problems, parenting strain, low self-esteem and career changes. He speaks English, Mandarin and Cantonese and sees people in the United Kingdom and internationally.

Marco uses a person-centred approach that keeps the client's experience central. He blends cognitive behavioural techniques to address unhelpful thinking patterns. He also draws on attachment-focused ideas when relationships and early bonds are part of the difficulty.

Sessions are carried out with empathy and practical aims in mind. Marco aims to help people notice patterns, try small changes and build skills they can use between meetings. Mindfulness practices and elements from dialectical behaviour work appear when emotion regulation is needed.

His clinical background includes seven years working with a wide range of issues, and he is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. That registration is noted as part of his professional standing.

People who choose to work with Marco can expect steady, down-to-earth support. He encourages realistic goals and gradual progress. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then arrange sessions according to the therapist's schedule.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Attachment-based work focuses on how early relationships shape current reactions. Online sessions can use this approach to notice connection patterns and try new ways of relating in everyday life. Cognitive behavioural therapy looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions; online meetings are used to spot unhelpful thinking and practise simple experiments and coping strategies between sessions.

Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will talk through options with the client, suggest what might help first and adjust the plan as progress is made. Goals, preferences and practical needs guide which methods are used together.

Please confirm available session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific delivery methods. Many people find online appointments help them fit therapy into busy days, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Online work also makes it easier to access a therapist who speaks English, Mandarin or Cantonese across time zones. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises, mindfulness practices and CBT tasks for remote sessions so therapy remains focused and practical.
