Yau Tak "Marco" Lee, BACP

Yau Tak "Marco" Lee is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) with seven years' experience. He works with adults facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, anger, depression, addictions and related concerns. He also supports people dealing with relationship and intimacy issues, parenting stress, sleeping problems, self-esteem, career changes and neurodiverse concerns such as ADHD.

Marco uses practical talking therapy alongside techniques aimed at changing patterns that keep people stuck. Sessions focus on understanding what fuels strong reactions like anger or shutdowns. He helps people spot triggers, try new ways of responding, and practise skills that reduce escalation.

His approach draws on attachment-based work to look at early relationship patterns and how they shape current reactions. He also uses client-centred methods to make room for the person’s experience, and cognitive behavioural therapy to test unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. EMDR and dialectical behaviour therapy are part of the toolkit when trauma or emotional regulation are central concerns.

Sessions are offered in English, Mandarin and Cantonese. Marco welcomes people from different backgrounds, including LGBT clients and those coping with bereavement, chronic illness, or major life change. He frames therapy as hands-on, with exercises between sessions when that helps progress.

He combines humanistic values with concrete skills work. People can expect straightforward talk, practical exercises, and gradual changes in how they handle frustration, interpersonal conflict and ongoing stress.
