Yau Tak "Marco" Lee, BACP

Yau Tak "Marco" Lee helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma, grief and depression. He also supports concerns such as addictions, self-esteem, career worries, ADHD and intimacy-related difficulties. Marco works in English, Mandarin and Cantonese and provides therapy to clients in the United Kingdom and internationally.

Marco uses a mix of approaches aimed at practical change and better understanding. He draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how relationships affect feelings. He also uses cognitive behavioural techniques to spot and shift unhelpful thinking patterns. Sessions are grounded in a person-centred attitude that keeps the client's experience central.

Across seven years of practice Marco has worked with a wide range of life challenges. He has particular experience with family and relationship stresses, abandonment and adoption-related issues, and complex grief. He also helps people manage chronic illness, caregiving strain and the emotional fallout from major life events.

Clients can expect a calm, empathic presence and straightforward tools to try between sessions. Marco aims to build confidence and self-worth so people can handle problems that come up later. He frames therapy as a practical space for testing new ways of coping and relating.

Therapy sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat or text messaging. Marco is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and uses that membership to guide his practice and professional standards.

How Marco's approaches work online

Attachment-based work focuses on how early relationships shape current emotional responses. Online sessions use conversation to identify these patterns and try new ways of relating that reduce anxiety and feeling stuck. Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, concentrates on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing simple behavioural experiments. It is practical and suits problems like anxiety, low mood and sleep difficulties. EMDR, where used, helps people process traumatic memories by pairing guided attention with memory work to reduce the emotional intensity of past events.

Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk through the options with the client, weigh their goals and preferences, and adjust methods as progress unfolds. That conversation helps tailor sessions so the work feels relevant and manageable.

Online formats offer flexible ways to connect. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction for deeper conversational work. Phone sessions require less bandwidth and can be easier when you prefer not to be on camera. Live chat or text-based messaging supports brief check-ins, reflective writing and ongoing coaching between longer sessions. These choices make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving and travel.
