About Yau
Yau Tak "Marco" Lee helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, sleep problems and life changes. He works with issues such as depression, trauma and abuse, grief, anger, addiction and intimacy-related concerns. Marco also supports people facing parenting worries, career decisions, ADHD-related challenges and relationship difficulties. He is named as a counsellor and is listed with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP).
Marco draws on several practical approaches to tailor sessions to each person. He uses client-centred methods to listen carefully and follow the person's pace. He brings in cognitive behavioural ideas to identify unhelpful thoughts and try different ways of responding. EMDR and dialectical behaviour strategies are also part of his toolkit for processing painful memories and building coping skills.
In sessions he focuses on clear, manageable steps people can try between meetings. Conversations aim to make feelings easier to understand and reduce repetitive thinking that undermines sleep and wellbeing. He offers mindfulness exercises and grounding techniques that many find useful when anxiety or sleep worry is high.
Marco has seven years of practice experience and works in the United Kingdom. He can hold sessions in English, Mandarin and Cantonese. He describes his approach as warm and empathetic, with attention to each person's history and attachment patterns.
People who choose to work with Marco follow a process that starts with a short questionnaire and then scheduling. He uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time, and pricing varies by location and therapist availability.
Approaches you may encounter in online sessions
Marco commonly combines client-centred work with cognitive behavioural methods. Client-centred therapy involves listening without judgment and following the person's pace to help them name feelings and priorities. Cognitive behavioural work looks at thoughts and behaviours that maintain distress and teaches practical experiments to change them.He also uses EMDR for processing traumatic memories when that fits the person's needs. EMDR uses structured eye movements or similar techniques to help reduce the intensity of past distressing moments and to support moving forward.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Marco will discuss options with each person and decide together what to try first, adapting methods as goals and preferences become clearer. That collaborative approach helps match techniques to sleep problems, anxiety or relationship concerns.
