About Yvon
Yvon Yagbazia is a counsellor and psychodynamic psychotherapist who speaks English and French. He works with people facing trauma, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, stress, anger and compassion fatigue. He also has experience supporting concerns linked to adoption and foster care. His approach is practical and person-focused, aimed at helping someone who has found it hard to ask for help before.
He offers one-to-one psychotherapy that looks at both present difficulties and the history behind them. Sessions invite people to talk openly about their life and feelings without feeling judged. The emphasis is on understanding how past patterns show up now and on finding ways to reduce pain or obstacles.
Yvon combines psychodynamic thinking with a client-centred attitude. That means he pays attention to underlying feelings and relationships while keeping the person's experience at the centre of sessions. He aims to help people understand why they act in certain ways and how that understanding can change daily life.
He also has training as a life and performance coach and works in a mental health and counselling service in North London. Those roles inform a practical focus on goals, choices and coping strategies alongside deeper therapeutic work.
People who want to start usually find the first steps straightforward. Yvon encourages clear conversation about what someone hopes to change and works at a steady pace. He welcomes enquiries in either English or French and can accept international clients.
How his approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centred Therapy places the person's experience at the heart of sessions. The counsellor listens closely, reflects feelings and helps people make choices that feel right for them; this can help with low self-esteem, life decisions and coping with stress. Psychodynamic Therapy looks at how past experiences shape current behaviour and relationships. It helps people connect patterns in their history with difficulties they face today, which can be useful for trauma, attachment issues and repeated relationship problems.Finding the right style is part of the work. He will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences and together decide which approach or mix of approaches to try. That choice can change over time as the work progresses and as different issues come up.
The practical advantages of online therapy include making sessions easier to fit around work, family or other commitments and removing travel time. Online work can also allow a shorter check-in or a session without video when that feels better for someone, which can help on busy days or during times with limited bandwidth.
