About Yau
BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy). Seven years' experience. Yau Tak "Marco" Lee works with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, anger and depression, as well as addictions, LGBT issues and relationship and intimacy-related concerns.
Marco uses a mix of practical talking therapies. He describes his main approaches as client-centred, cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), dialectical behaviour therapy (DBT), attachment-based work and eye movement desensitisation and reprocessing (EMDR). Sessions focus on understanding patterns, developing coping skills, and addressing painful memories or attachment difficulties.
He helps people dealing with parenting challenges, self-esteem problems, sleep difficulties and career concerns. He also supports those managing bipolar symptoms, ADHD, and life changes such as bereavement or major illness. Additional areas include adoption and foster care, abandonment issues, blended family challenges and caregiver stress.
Marco communicates in English, Mandarin and Cantonese. He practises in the United Kingdom and accepts international clients. His BACP membership is presented as his professional credential.
Sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time, with cost varying by location. To begin, people are asked to select the See online counselling options button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule a first session.
Marco aims for clear, direct conversations in sessions. He works collaboratively to set goals and to choose approaches that fit the person's needs and preferences.
How his approaches translate to online counselling
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns in close relationships and on how early bonds affect current trust and intimacy. Online sessions using this approach look at those patterns and help people develop different ways of relating to others.Client-Centred Therapy emphasises listening and working at the client’s pace. In online meetings this means the counsellor follows the person’s concerns and reflections, allowing the conversation to guide the focus of each session.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is practical and skill-based. It breaks down thoughts, feelings and behaviours and teaches strategies to change unhelpful habits, which can be practised between sessions and reviewed in later online meetings.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Marco will discuss options with the person and agree together which methods to try, based on needs, goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process and can change over time.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions around work, caregiving or commuting, and can allow shorter check-ins or audio-only meetings when that better suits someone’s day. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises and homework so they work well in remote appointments.
