About Yau
Yau Tak "Marco" Lee helps people facing grief, stress, anxiety, trauma and related concerns. He supports those dealing with depression, anger, addictions and relationship or intimacy issues. Marco also works with life changes such as career shifts, parenting challenges, ADHD and chronic illness. He is based in the United Kingdom and uses English, Mandarin and Cantonese in sessions.
Marco draws on a mix of practical approaches to suit each person. He uses client-centred methods that put the person's own priorities first. He also works with cognitive behavioural techniques to spot unhelpful thinking and with EMDR for trauma-related memories. Mindfulness and elements of dialectical behaviour therapy are part of his toolkit when they fit the client's needs.
Marco trained as a counsellor and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. He has seven years of experience working with a wide range of presenting issues. Sessions focus on clear, manageable steps and on building everyday skills for coping and communication.
In sessions Marco listens first and asks what you want from therapy. He aims for practical ways to reduce distress and improve daily functioning. Work can include short-term goals like improving sleep or longer-term work on attachment and self-esteem.
To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to the therapist's availability. Fees vary by location and the service uses a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

Approaches that translate well to online work
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current connections. Online sessions can help people notice patterns in their relationships and practice new ways of relating in day-to-day life. Client-Centred Therapy puts your experience at the heart of the work. The therapist listens without judgement and helps you find your own solutions, useful for coping with grief, stress and life changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and teaches practical techniques for problems such as anxiety, low mood and sleep difficulties.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Marco will talk with each person about their goals, preferences and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together you decide whether a short-term skills focus or deeper work on attachment and trauma is the best fit, and the plan can be adjusted as progress is made.
Practical benefits of online therapy include greater convenience and easier fitting of sessions into a busy week. Online work can reduce travel time and make it simpler to keep appointments around work or caregiving duties. If you want to check which session formats are currently offered, please confirm options before booking so you know what will suit your schedule and needs.
