About Yau
Yau Tak "Marco" Lee is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, codependency and relationship or intimacy-related problems. He also supports people dealing with grief, anger, addictions, sleep difficulties, parenting strains and career concerns. Marco works in English, Mandarin and Cantonese and practises from the United Kingdom.
Marco uses a mix of approaches that centre the person in the room. He draws on client-centred methods to follow each person’s pace and priorities. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is used to spot and shift unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns. He also uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current connections.
Sessions are guided by empathy and respect. Conversations focus on clear practical steps, emotional understanding and building skills that can be used between sessions. Marco aims to help people feel more confident and able to cope with life changes, difficult emotions and relationship struggles.
With seven years of experience and registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), Marco blends structured techniques with a warm, human-centred style. He offers support for issues such as ADHD, bipolar mood concerns, body image and caregiving stress alongside codependency and attachment questions.
People who come to Marco can expect a calm, steady approach that emphasises growth and problem-solving. He encourages reflection, practical tools and steady progress so clients can manage challenges more effectively and move forward purposefully.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online counselling
Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships affect current patterns. In online sessions this can mean talking through past and present connections to see how they shape reactions and intimacy. Client-centred therapy focuses on the person’s experience and priorities, offering space for someone to be heard and to set the pace of work. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) uses structured conversations to identify unhelpful thoughts and try small behavioural changes between sessions.Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. Marco will discuss what feels most useful and adapt methods collaboratively based on needs, goals and personal preferences. That way the work stays relevant and manageable for each person.
Please confirm the current session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific delivery options. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It can also help people access multilingual support in English, Mandarin or Cantonese without geographic limits. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists often combine conversational and skills-based elements so sessions feel practical and focused on everyday change.
