Yau Tak "Marco" Lee, BACP

Yau Tak "Marco" Lee helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression and midlife crossroads. He works with issues such as trauma and abuse, addiction, relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting strain, sleep problems, ADHD and career uncertainty. Marco speaks English, Mandarin and Cantonese and practises from the United Kingdom.

Marco keeps sessions straightforward and person-centred. He listens first, and then helps clients name their priorities. Conversations focus on what is happening now and what practical steps might help day to day. He draws on different methods to match each person’s needs rather than using a single fixed approach.

Over seven years he has used attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships affect present behaviour. He also uses cognitive behavioural techniques to spot and change unhelpful thinking patterns. For people with strong emotions, aspects of dialectical behaviour therapy are offered to build coping skills and emotional balance.

Marco describes his work as grounded in empathy and respect. Sessions aim to increase self-worth, reduce distress and build tools for future challenges. He encourages clients to try small changes between sessions and reflects on what helps and what does not.

His BACP credential means he is registered with the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy. Prospective clients can expect a collaborative, down-to-earth approach that combines short-term problem work with longer-term personal growth.

How therapeutic approaches shape online work

Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships leave patterns that show up now. It helps people who struggle with trust, closeness or repeated relationship difficulties to understand and shift those patterns.

Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing them in everyday life. It is practical and often helps with anxiety, low mood and sleep problems by teaching simple strategies to change thinking and behaviour.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work together with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences. That decision can change over time as progress is made and priorities shift.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life. Many people find remote appointments reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins around work or family commitments. If you prefer face-to-face or particular formats, confirm the current session options before booking so you know what is possible. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists will discuss practical arrangements and adapt the way they work to suit everyday routines.
