Yau Tak "Marco" Lee , BACP

Yau Tak "Marco" Lee is a qualified counsellor registered with the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), a professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists. He draws on a range of therapeutic methods to support people facing emotional and relational challenges, tailoring each session to the individual rather than relying on a one-size-fits-all model.

His practice incorporates client-centred principles that prioritise empathy and acceptance, alongside cognitive behavioural strategies to address unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns. He also integrates EMDR for trauma work, dialectical behaviour therapy skills for emotional regulation, and additional techniques such as Emotional Freedom Technique and mindfulness to help clients develop practical coping skills.

Marco’s work is grounded in humanistic values of empathy and compassion, with an emphasis on recognising each person’s unique experiences and strengths. Many of his clients have reported feeling more positive after sessions and noticing improvements in their general wellbeing. He encourages commitment to therapy as an investment in a more hopeful future for clients and their loved ones.

Sessions are designed to be a supportive space where clients can explore thoughts, feelings, and difficulties. Through this process clients can build confidence, increase self-value, and develop the skills needed to face future challenges more effectively.

Therapeutic Approaches Adapted for Online Support

Client-centred therapy focuses on building a respectful, non-judgmental relationship in which the client’s perspective leads the work - it helps people who need space to explore identity, self-worth, and relationship concerns while feeling understood. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers structured techniques to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, and is effective for anxiety, depression, stress, and many everyday difficulties. EMDR is a trauma-focused approach that can help process distressing memories and reduce their emotional impact, often used when past events continue to affect current functioning.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and he works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they can adjust techniques over time to suit what is most helpful for progress.

Online therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexibility and greater access to care for people balancing work, family, or mobility constraints. These options allow clients to engage in consistent therapy from familiar environments and to choose the communication style that fits their comfort level and schedule, while working with licensed professionals and therapists experienced in adapting approaches to online formats.
