About Yau
Yau Tak "Marco" Lee offers support for stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, anger and depression. He also helps with addictions, relationship and intimacy concerns, low self-esteem, sleeping problems and parenting strain. Marco can work with people on career questions, ADHD, bipolar mood issues and coping with major life changes.
Marco uses a person-centred style that focuses on empathy and respect. Sessions are conversational and practical. He aims to build confidence and help people find clearer ways to handle day-to-day problems.
Background and approach
He draws on several approaches to suit different needs. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) helps identify thinking patterns that keep problems going. Dialectical behaviour therapy (DBT) offers skills for emotion regulation and distress tolerance.
Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR) is included for people with traumatic memories they want to process. Marco brings seven years of counselling experience and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. He combines humanistic values with structured techniques to match what each person needs in the conversation.
Sessions can be held in English, Mandarin or Cantonese. He accepts international clients and offers several remote ways to meet. People often start by identifying a few immediate goals and then work step by step toward more lasting change.

Online support
How his approaches translate to online work
Marco commonly uses client-centred work, cognitive behavioural therapy and EMDR in online sessions. Client-centred work means the conversation centres on the person’s experience and goals, which suits video or text formats where trust is built gradually. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviours, and it adapts well to structured online tools and homework between sessions. Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR) offers a way to process distressing memories; elements of EMDR can be delivered remotely with careful planning and pacing.Choosing the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will talk through options, trial methods and adjust the plan to match the client’s needs and preferences. That shared decision-making helps set realistic goals and keeps the work responsive to progress.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls work well for real-time interaction and visual cues. Phone sessions suit people who need a lower-bandwidth option or prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging allow shorter check-ins, ongoing reflection and easier scheduling around work or family commitments. Many clients find these options make it easier to keep therapy consistent and fit it into a busy life.
