Yau Tak "Marco" Lee, BACP

Yau Tak "Marco" Lee is a qualified counsellor registered with the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), the professional body for counselling and psychotherapy in the United Kingdom. He integrates a variety of therapeutic methods to meet each person where they are, including person-centred approaches, cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), emotional freedom technique (EFT), eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), dialectical behaviour therapy (DBT), and mindfulness.

His work is grounded in humanistic values of empathy and compassion, and he approaches each case with the belief that everyone brings unique qualities and life experiences to the therapy room. He often works with different attachment styles in relationship issues and adapts interventions to address the specific needs presented by each client.

Marco frames psychotherapy as an investment in wellbeing and future relationships. He provides a supportive environment where individuals can explore thoughts, feelings, and difficulties, and where therapeutic work can lead to personal growth, greater self-value, and increased confidence to face future challenges. Many clients report feeling more positive after sessions, noting benefits to their overall wellbeing.

Combining Attachment, Client-Centred and CBT Online

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships influence current patterns in close connections and can be especially useful for people dealing with abandonment, attachment, or relationship difficulties. Client-Centred Therapy emphasises empathy and a non-directive stance, allowing the person to lead the pace and focus of sessions while the counsellor offers acceptance and reflective listening. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) helps identify and gently challenge unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, teaching practical strategies to manage symptoms such as anxiety or low mood.

Finding the right approach is part of the collaborative process. He will work with clients to explore which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and may combine elements from different models to create a tailored plan.

Online therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexibility and accessibility, allowing people to attend sessions from different locations and to choose the communication style that suits them best. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to maintain continuity of care for international clients and those with varying schedules.
