Yau Tak "Marco" Lee helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, grief and relationship concerns. He also supports people facing anger, addiction, sleep problems, parenting strain, work pressures and self-esteem struggles. Marco uses straightforward, practical ways to make sessions useful from the first meeting.

Marco is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, commonly shown as BACP. He has seven years of clinical experience and speaks English, Mandarin and Cantonese.

Background and approach

People can work with him online by video, phone, live chat or text messaging, including from locations outside the United Kingdom. In sessions Marco starts by listening closely to what the person wants to achieve. He draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how past relationships shape present patterns.

He also uses cognitive behavioural techniques to spot unhelpful thinking and try different, more helpful ways of responding. His style is warm and collaborative. He treats each person as an individual and adapts the approach to their goals and circumstances.

Sessions can include practical exercises, skills to manage distress, and space to process difficult memories when that feels right. Marco works with many other issues too, including ADHD, bipolar mood concerns, intimacy-related worries, adoption and foster care matters, body image and caring for someone with chronic illness. He frames therapy as a process of gradually building coping skills and clearer choices.

How Marco uses therapeutic methods online

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape present-day patterns. It helps people notice how attachment styles affect trust, closeness and reactions in relationships, and then try new ways of connecting. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour. It provides practical tools to test unhelpful thoughts and build healthier habits for anxiety, depression and stress.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Marco discusses goals and preferences with each person and then jointly decides which methods to try. That collaborative planning means sessions change if something isn’t helping or if priorities shift over time.

Online therapy with video, phone, live chat or messaging offers flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and non-verbal cues. Phone sessions can be useful when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging suit shorter check-ins, ongoing coaching-style support or people who find it easier to write than speak. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, family and busy lives while still working on the same therapeutic goals.
