About Yau
Yau Tak "Marco" Lee helps with a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, anger, depression, addictions, relationship and intimacy issues, and everyday thoughts and habits. He is named Marco Lee and he practises as a counsellor registered with the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). Sessions are offered in English, Mandarin and Cantonese.
Marco uses an empathic, person-centred stance in sessions. He listens first, then works with each person to set clear, manageable goals. He encourages practical steps people can try between meetings so changes can carry into daily life.
His approach draws on several methods. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, helps people spot and change unhelpful thinking and habits. Attachment-based ideas are used when relationship patterns and early connections affect current struggles. Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing, EMDR, is included for people who bring trauma and distressing memories.
Marco also integrates mindfulness and elements of Dialectical Behaviour Therapy to help with emotion regulation and day-to-day coping. He emphasises empathy, respect and collaboration in every session. Over seven years he has worked with many different presenting issues and focuses on practical tools as well as making sense of feelings.
People who choose him can expect straightforward language, calm pacing and a focus on workable steps. If you want to explore thoughts and everyday habits, Marco will help you identify small changes that make a difference. To begin, follow the site’s Start Therapy flow and complete the short questionnaire to match and schedule.

Online approaches for thoughts, habits and trauma
Marco commonly uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Attachment-Based ideas when working online. CBT helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and test small behavioural experiments to change daily routines and reactions. Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape present patterns in friendships and close connections, and it helps people try new ways of relating.He also uses EMDR for clients who bring trauma memories that need targeted processing. EMDR involves guided attention tasks alongside careful memory work to reduce emotional charge and build calmer responses to triggers. These approaches suit a range of concerns from anxiety and depression to relationship and trauma-related distress.
Finding the right approach is collaborative. Marco will discuss goals and preferences and suggest which methods to try first. The plan can change as progress is made, and he encourages active feedback so the work fits the client’s needs.
