About Yau

Yau Tak "Marco" Lee helps people facing sexual difficulties alongside a wide range of emotional and life concerns. He works with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, anger, depression, addictions, LGBT matters, relationship and intimacy-related issues, sleep problems, parenting strain, self-esteem and career questions. Marco uses a practical, down-to-earth style so people can talk about hard things without jargon. Marco is a British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy registrant, and he brings seven years of experience to his practice. He draws on Attachment-Based and Client-Centred ways of working to build trust. He also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Dialectical Behavioural Therapy, and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing when these fit a person’s needs. Sessions focus on what the person wants to change. Marco listens first, then helps set clear, achievable steps. He uses mindfulness exercises and thought-focused techniques to tackle unhelpful patterns and reduce distress. EMDR may be offered for people with trauma symptoms when appropriate. His approach is warm and respectful. He treats each person as an individual with their own history and strengths. The work aims to increase confidence, improve relationships and give practical tools people can use day to day. Marco offers therapy in English, Mandarin and Cantonese and accepts clients from outside the United Kingdom. Before booking, confirm current session options and scheduling so you know how sessions will be arranged.

How selected approaches translate to online therapy

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current trust and closeness. Online sessions can be used to explore attachment patterns and rehearse different ways of relating to partners or others. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours link together; it uses practical exercises and short tasks to change unhelpful patterns and reduce symptoms like anxiety or low mood. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a trauma-focused method that helps process distressing memories; when suited to a person, it can be adapted for remote work with clinician guidance.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and suggest which methods to try. Sessions are tailored and reviewed regularly so the work stays relevant to what a person wants to change.

Confirm the exact session formats before booking, as current options are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week and reduce travel time. It can also allow shorter check-ins or audio-only meetings when that suits someone better. Registered or accredited professionals can use remote work to keep continuity of care and to offer therapeutic tools that transfer into everyday life.
