Yau Tak "Marco" Lee, BACP

Yau Tak "Marco" Lee helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, grief, anger, addictions, and relationship or intimacy concerns. He also supports people dealing with parenting strain, sleep problems, low self-esteem, career stress, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and life changes. Marco works in English, Mandarin and Cantonese and is based in the United Kingdom. He is registered with the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP).

Marco draws on a mix of practical talking therapies. He uses client-centred methods that focus on the person in front of him. He also uses cognitive behavioural techniques to help people notice and change thinking patterns that cause distress. For trauma-related difficulties he includes eye movement desensitisation and reprocessing.

Sessions are shaped by empathy and a humanistic outlook. Marco aims to make sessions straightforward and collaborative. He helps people set clear goals and skills they can use between meetings.

He has seven years of experience working with a wide range of difficulties, including attachment concerns, adoption and foster care issues, caregiver stress, chronic illness and codependency. His approach balances practical exercises with space to talk through painful experiences.

Many clients notice improved mood and increased confidence as therapy progresses. Marco encourages gradual steps toward lasting change, tailored to each person’s needs and pace.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape the way people connect now. It is useful for those with trust issues, attachment concerns, or difficulties forming close relationships. Client-Centred Therapy centres the person and their experience, offering a non-judgemental space to talk and to build self-understanding and self-worth. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people spot unhelpful thinking patterns and practise small behavioural changes to reduce anxiety and low mood.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Marco will discuss goals and preferences and together with the client decide which methods to try. This collaborative planning means therapy stays relevant to day-to-day needs and can change as progress is made.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the session formats before booking. Online work can make fitting therapy into a busy life easier, for example by saving travel time, allowing shorter check-ins, or making it simpler to include sessions around work or caregiving commitments. Therapists and registered or accredited professionals often use practical exercises, guided reflections and skills coaching that translate well to remote meetings, so most of the therapeutic tools described above can be delivered in an online setting once the format is agreed.
