About Yau
Yau Tak "Marco" Lee helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and relationship or intimacy-related issues. He also supports men dealing with addiction, sleep problems, parenting strain, career decisions and self-esteem concerns. Marco works in English, Mandarin and Cantonese and practices in the United Kingdom.
Marco uses straightforward, person-focused methods that aim to make therapy feel practical and humane. Sessions emphasise listening, exploring what matters to the client, and building steps that fit daily life. He draws on approaches including client-centred work, cognitive behavioural ideas, and attachment-informed ways of looking at relationships.
Across sessions Marco may introduce techniques from dialectical behaviour approaches to help with emotional regulation and coping skills. For people affected by traumatic memories he may suggest eye movement desensitisation and reprocessing, explained and applied at the client pace. Mindfulness and reflective exercises are used to support calmer thinking and better sleep.
Marco describes his practice as grounded in empathy and respect. He aims to help people grow confidence and a stronger sense of self. Therapy is presented as a chance to practise new ways of coping and to plan for future challenges.
With seven years of experience and registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, Marco integrates several methods to suit different needs. Prospective clients are encouraged to consider how the different approaches might fit their situation when they make initial contact.
How Marco's approaches translate to online therapy
Many of Marco's methods fit well with remote work. Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person's experience, which can be delivered through conversation and reflective exercises online. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings and behaviours and uses simple homework and practical tools that travel easily to online sessions. Attachment-informed approaches look at patterns in relationships and use guided discussion and exercises to help people notice and change those patterns.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Marco will discuss options and tailor the plan to a client's goals, preferences and how they respond in early sessions. He treats selection of methods as a collaborative process rather than a fixed prescription.
Confirm which session formats are available before booking, as the biography does not list specific formats. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work or family life, reduce travel time and allow short check-ins when needed. It also means exercises and written resources can be shared and reviewed between meetings, helping people practise skills in everyday settings.
