About Yau
Yau Tak "Marco" Lee offers help for a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, anger, depression, addictions, relationship and intimacy issues, sleeping problems, parenting strain, self-esteem, career worries, bipolar disorder, ADHD and coping with life changes. He also supports people facing adoption and foster-care questions, attachment wounds, caregiver stress, chronic illness and other complex difficulties.
Marco speaks English, Mandarin and Cantonese and practises in the United Kingdom.
Background and approach
Marco works from a human-centred place. He emphasises empathy and respect while listening to what each person brings. Sessions aim to make sense of current struggles and to build practical ways to cope.
He keeps language straightforward and focuses on small, usable steps between meetings. Marco uses several approaches to suit different needs. He draws on client-centred work to prioritise the person’s experience.
Cognitive behavioural techniques help tackle unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns. He also uses attachment-based ideas and elements of dialectical behaviour therapy and EMDR when they fit the issue. Over seven years he has helped people address both everyday pressures and deeper relational wounds.
His style tends to be collaborative and down-to-earth rather than overly technical. Clients are encouraged to set clear goals and to review progress regularly. Sessions are arranged through the site’s matching process.
The first step is a short questionnaire to help match goals and preferences, after which scheduling is agreed. Marco aims to support people who want practical change and steadier emotional balance.

How Yau works online
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Marco will work collaboratively to identify which methods match the person’s needs, goals and preferences. That choice can be reviewed as therapy progresses and adapted if something isn’t helping.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also suit people who prefer to speak in their own surroundings or need flexible scheduling. Registered or accredited professionals use these approaches in remote sessions to focus on practical skills, emotional understanding and gradual change.
