About Yvon

Yvon Yagbazia is a counsellor and psychodynamic psychotherapist who helps people dealing with trauma, anger, anxiety, depression and low self-esteem. He works in English and French and draws on four years of clinical experience in mental health settings in the United Kingdom.

Yvon describes therapy as a personal process of looking closely at one’s life and history. Sessions are meant to give space to speak without feeling judged. He aims to help clients understand how conscious and unconscious patterns can cause pain or create obstacles.

In practice he combines psychodynamic thinking with a client-centred attitude. That means listening for recurring themes from the past and following the client’s priorities in the room. He helps people make sense of feelings and reactions, and to find more workable ways to manage them day to day.

Yvon also uses coaching skills alongside psychotherapy when appropriate, for example to support clearer goals or performance concerns. He mentions experience in a North London mental health and counselling service, which informs his approach to common life stresses and crises.

People often choose him for support with trauma and abuse, compassion fatigue, or strong emotions such as anger. He accepts international clients and uses a subscription model for sessions that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions according to the therapist’s availability.

How his approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on offering a non-judgemental space and following the client’s own goals. It helps when someone needs to be heard, to clarify their feelings, and to build self-trust. Psychodynamic Therapy looks at recurring patterns and past influences that shape current reactions. It can be helpful for people who want to understand why they repeat certain behaviours or feel stuck in the same difficulties.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to your concerns, discuss what feels most useful, and adapt methods to fit your needs and objectives. Together you can try different ways of working and check in about what is helping and what needs to change.

Practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions more easily into a busy week and avoiding travel time. Online sessions can make it simpler to attend during work breaks or when managing family and caring responsibilities. The original profile does not specify which session formats are offered, so please confirm the available online options before booking to ensure they suit your routine.
