About Yau
Yau Tak "Marco" Lee is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has seven years of practice in the UK. He works with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, anger, depression and addictions. He also helps with relationship and intimacy-related issues, parenting and career concerns, and ADHD-related challenges.
Marco uses straightforward, skills-based methods so people learn practical ways to change unhelpful thoughts and habits. He draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) alongside attachment-focused and client-centred approaches. Sessions focus on noticing patterns, trying new responses and practising small changes between meetings.
His background includes work across a wide range of issues such as self-esteem, sleep problems, bereavement, and coping with life changes. He also has experience with adoption and foster care issues, chronic illness and caregiving stress, body image, and concerns related to ageing.
Marco works in English, Mandarin and Cantonese, and he accepts clients from outside the UK. He prefers clear, goal-oriented sessions that balance talking with practical exercises. Clients can expect check-ins on progress and simple tools to use between sessions.
Fees vary by location and sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session via the See online therapy options button.
How his approaches translate to online sessions
Marco commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy and Client-Centred Therapy in straightforward ways online. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviours, which is useful for anxiety, depression and sleep problems. Attachment-based work looks at patterns formed in relationships and helps people understand how those patterns affect current interactions. Client-centred therapy emphasises listening and reflection to help people clarify their own goals and decisions.Finding the right approach is part of the work. He discusses needs, goals and preferences with each person and together they decide which methods to try first. Sessions can mix talking with practical exercises and brief homework tasks to test new skills between meetings.
The practical benefits of online sessions include fitting therapy into a busy week and reducing travel time. Online meetings can be easier to schedule around work or caregiving, and they allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Confirm the current session options before booking so you know which formats are available for scheduling.
