About Yvon
Yvon Yagbazia is a BACP counsellor and psychodynamic psychotherapist with four years of clinical experience in the United Kingdom. He offers sessions in English and French and works with people facing trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression, stress, anxiety, anger and compassion fatigue. He also lists codependency among his areas of focus.
He describes psychotherapy as a personal process that helps people look more closely at their life and history. Sessions are set up so the client can talk through painful patterns without feeling judged. The emphasis is on understanding both conscious behaviour and unconscious motives that can get in the way of everyday life.
Yvon combines client-centred listening with psychodynamic thinking. That means he pays attention to what a person feels in the moment and to recurring patterns rooted in past experience. Conversations aim to make those patterns clearer so a person can decide what to change.
He also has experience working in a mental health and counselling service in North London and has trained in life and performance coaching. Those roles inform a practical focus in sessions, such as looking at how feelings affect relationships, work and everyday functioning.
People who contact him can expect straightforward discussion of issues like attachment, abandonment, communication problems, and the impact of long-term stress or illness. He invites prospective clients to consider whether exploring their past and present together might help reduce recurring struggles and bring greater clarity about next steps.
How sessions work
How his approaches translate to online work
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what a person says and feels. It helps when someone needs a steady, accepting listener to clarify emotions and make immediate choices about behaviour. Psychodynamic Therapy pays attention to repeated patterns that date back to earlier relationships. It helps people understand why they react in certain ways and how past experience shapes present habits.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. He will talk with the client about their needs, goals and preferences and together decide which methods to try. That collaborative conversation can lead to a mix of listening, reflection and exploring patterns that fits the person’s situation.
Practical benefits of online sessions include fitting therapy into a busy week and avoiding travel time. Online work can make it easier to keep regular appointments around work or family commitments and can allow shorter check-in meetings when needed. The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm the available options before booking. Registered or accredited professionals frequently use different formats, and he can discuss which one matches a client's circumstances during the initial arrangements.
