About Yau
Yau Tak "Marco" Lee helps people facing depression, anxiety, stress, grief and trauma. He supports those struggling with relationship and intimacy problems, addictions, sleep difficulties and self-esteem. Marco speaks English, Mandarin and Cantonese and practices from the United Kingdom.
Marco works in a warm, human-centred way. He focuses on listening first and building trust. Sessions are practical and straightforward, with room to talk about feelings and everyday struggles.
He draws on different methods to match what a person needs.
Background and approach
He uses client-centred techniques to help people feel understood and to explore what matters to them. Cognitive behavioural approaches are used for tackling unhelpful thinking and changing behaviours step by step. Marco also draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how past relationships shape present reactions.
Over seven years he has supported people with a wide range of concerns, including bipolar, ADHD, parenting stress, caregiving strain and body image. His work is guided by empathy and a focus on personal strengths rather than labels. He accepts international clients and speaks multiple languages to make therapy more accessible.
Sessions are offered through video calls, phone, live chat and text-based messaging. Marco is registered with the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy, listed as BACP. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and book according to the therapist's schedule.

Online support
He also uses cognitive behavioural therapy, which looks at the link between thoughts, feelings and actions, and teaches practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is often helpful for depression, anxiety and sleep problems.
Finding the right way to work together is part of the process. Marco will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, and decide together which approach to try first. The plan can change as therapy progresses so it fits real life.
Online sessions can be easier to fit into a busy week. Video calls let you see and hear one another for a fuller conversation. Phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited or you prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging can suit short check-ins, ongoing coaching or people who express themselves better in writing. These options give flexibility for different schedules and needs.
