About Yau
Marco is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, with seven years of practice. He offers a calm, empathic approach and centres each session on the person in front of him. Conversations focus on what matters to the client and on small practical steps between sessions.
Sessions draw on client-centred ways of working to listen and reflect back what is happening for the person. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy is used to spot patterns of thinking and try alternative behaviours. He also uses elements from Dialectical Behaviour Therapy and EMDR where appropriate.
Marco aims to help people build confidence and clearer routines. He encourages mindfulness practices and simple skills to manage strong emotions and reduce unhelpful thinking. Work may include short exercises in-session and planning realistic changes for daily life.
He speaks English, Mandarin and Cantonese, and accepts international clients. Costs vary with location and the service uses a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, select the Start Therapy button, complete the short matching questionnaire and schedule according to therapist availability.

Therapeutic approaches for online sessions
Attachment-Based work helps people look at patterns in their close relationships and how early bonds shape current feelings. It is useful for addressing attachment issues, relationship stress and intimacy concerns.Client-Centred Therapy focuses on attentive listening and reflecting what matters to the person. This approach suits people who want a steady, empathetic space to talk through grief, stress or life changes.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy helps identify unhelpful thinking patterns and try practical behaviour changes. It is commonly used for anxiety, low mood and sleep problems and includes simple exercises to practise between sessions.
Finding the right approach is usually collaborative. Marco will work with each person to decide which methods feel most helpful based on the issues, goals and preferences they bring. Treatment can change over time as needs shift.
Confirm current session options before booking since specific formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by reducing travel, supporting shorter check-ins and allowing sessions from quieter surroundings. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises, mindfulness work and CBT tasks for remote sessions to keep progress moving forward.
