About Yau
Yau Tak "Marco" Lee helps people facing a wide range of concerns such as stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, anger and depression. He also supports those dealing with addictions, relationship and intimacy-related issues, sleep problems, parenting strain, self-esteem and career challenges. Marco is based in the United Kingdom and works in English, Mandarin and Cantonese.
Marco uses a blend of practical approaches to guide conversations and actions in sessions.
Background and approach
He draws on client-centred work to follow what matters most to each person. He also uses cognitive behavioural techniques to break unhelpful thinking patterns and EMDR for trauma-focused work when appropriate. His manner is warm and humanistic.
He aims to listen closely and offer clear steps people can try between sessions. Marco encourages small, achievable changes that build resilience and reduce distress over time. Marco has seven years of counselling experience and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.
He emphasises respect for each person’s background and life story while focusing on practical ways forward. Sessions can help people regain confidence and cope better with life changes, loss, long-term health challenges and difficult relationships. Marco often combines short-term skills practice with deeper work on attachment and emotional patterns to support lasting change.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Marco commonly uses client-centred work, cognitive behavioural techniques and EMDR when addressing trauma. Client-centred work means the counsellor listens without directing the conversation and follows the client’s priorities to build trust and clarity. Cognitive behavioural approaches focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing different behaviours to reduce anxiety and low mood. EMDR is used with people who have distressing memories; it involves guided processing to reduce the intensity of those memories.Finding the right blend of approaches is a collaborative process. Marco will talk with each person about their goals, symptoms and preferences and suggest a plan. Together they review progress and adjust methods as needed so the work fits the person’s needs.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls let people use visual cues and longer talking time, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed, and live chat or text-based messaging can suit those who prefer written reflection or need brief, frequent contact. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel while keeping focus on practical skills and emotional processing.
