About Yau
Yau Tak "Marco" Lee helps people facing stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, anger and parenting strains. He also supports people dealing with depression, addictions, relationship and intimacy concerns, self-esteem and career challenges. Marco uses clear, practical approaches so conversations stay focused and useful.
He works from humanistic values of empathy and compassion. Sessions are shaped around what each person brings, not a one-size-fits-all plan. Marco aims to help people feel more capable, regain confidence and manage day-to-day pressures more easily.
Background and approach
Marco trained as a counsellor and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. He has seven years of experience and combines several methods to match a person's needs. Those approaches include client-centred work, cognitive behavioural strategies, attachment-focused ideas, dialectical skills and EMDR where appropriate.
In practice he keeps things straightforward. People can expect to talk through what matters, learn simple skills to manage difficult feelings, and try new ways of relating to themselves and others. Mindfulness and grounding techniques are offered when helpful.
Sessions are suitable for English, Mandarin or Cantonese speakers. Marco accepts international clients and offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging. He asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire to begin, and scheduling is arranged after that.

How Marco’s approaches work online
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns of relating that were formed earlier in life and how they affect current relationships. It helps people understand emotional bonds and build steadier connections. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person in the room, offering empathic listening and acceptance so the client can find their own solutions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, teaches practical techniques to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours and is useful for anxiety, depression and day-to-day coping.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Marco will talk through what feels most helpful and tailor methods to a person’s goals and preferences. This collaborative planning means sessions shift as needs change rather than sticking to a fixed plan.
Online therapy brings practical flexibility. Video calls let people use visual cues for a deeper conversation, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text messaging can suit quick check-ins or ongoing support between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel commitments while keeping the focus on steady progress.
