Yvon Yagbazia

Yvon Yagbazia is a counsellor and psychodynamic psychotherapist who supports people dealing with trauma, abuse, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem and stress. He offers therapy in English and French and draws on four years of practice in mental health services. He aims to create a calm space where people can speak openly and feel heard without being judged.

Yvon sees therapy as a personal process where someone looks at their life and history to understand recurring patterns. He says sessions focus on making sense of both conscious thoughts and deeper feelings. That can help reduce habits or reactions that cause pain or get in the way of everyday life.

His approach combines client-centred listening with psychodynamic reflection. In practical terms this means people are given time to talk while the therapist gently links present difficulties to past experiences. Sessions tend to move at the client’s pace and explore what feels most relevant to them.

Yvon’s work includes helping with anger, compassion fatigue, attachment and abandonment concerns, body image, codependency and communication problems. He also supports people coping with chronic illness, caregiver stress, bereavement and identity questions. He draws on coaching skills when clients want more goal-focused, practical steps alongside therapy.

He currently practices in the United Kingdom and works as part of a mental health and counselling service in North London. His BACP credential is listed as provided in his profile and he welcomes people who want to begin by talking through what brought them to therapy.

How client-centred and psychodynamic work translate online

Yvon uses client-centred and psychodynamic ways of working that can fit into an online setting. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening without judgement, helping people talk through what matters most and build clearer self-understanding. This approach is useful for issues like low self-esteem, stress and relationship concerns.

Psychodynamic Therapy looks at how past experiences shape current feelings and patterns. It involves reflecting on repeated reactions and exploring their roots, which can help with trauma, attachment issues and recurring emotional difficulties.

Choosing the right approach is a team effort. He will work with each person to decide whether more open-ended reflection or a goal-focused conversation better fits their needs and preferences. That choice can change over time as the work progresses.

Practical benefits of online work include easier scheduling and the ability to fit sessions into a busy week. Online sessions can reduce travel time and make it simpler to keep regular appointments around work or caregiving responsibilities. Because session formats are not specified in the biography, confirm current session options before booking so you know what is offered and how to plan them.
