About Yvon

Yvon Yagbazia is a counsellor and psychodynamic psychotherapist who helps people dealing with trauma and abuse, anxiety, depression, stress, low self-esteem and compassion fatigue. He works in both English and French and combines talking therapy with reflective work to help people understand patterns that cause pain. His approach aims to create space for honest conversation without judgement.

He describes therapy as a personal exploration of life and history. Sessions focus on making sense of both conscious choices and deeper, sometimes hidden, motivations.

Background and approach

That can reduce confusion and relieve recurring obstacles. Yvon draws on client-centred methods to keep sessions grounded in the person’s needs. He also uses psychodynamic ideas to look at how past experiences shape current feelings and reactions.

Together these approaches help people name what is happening and try new ways of responding. He works in a mental health and counselling service in North London alongside his independent practice. He also has experience as a life and performance coach, which informs practical goal-setting when appropriate.

He has four years of experience and holds BACP accreditation, listed as BACP. In therapy with Yvon clients can expect a calm, non-judgemental atmosphere and a steady focus on what matters to them. He encourages openness and reflection and supports clients as they explore changes they want to make.

How psychodynamic and client-centred work fits online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening without judgement and letting the person lead the conversation. It helps when someone needs acceptance, clearer self-understanding and practical support for everyday struggles such as stress or low self-esteem.

Psychodynamic Therapy looks at how past experiences, relationships and unconscious patterns influence current feelings and choices. It can be useful for people who want to understand recurring difficulties, trauma responses or why certain reactions keep happening.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, and then adapt the work as those needs become clearer. That means sessions can shift between supportive, goal-focused work and deeper reflective exploration depending on what the person wants.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls are close to face-to-face conversations and suit in-depth sessions. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging let people write out thoughts between sessions or have therapy that fits around work and family commitments. Many people find this mix makes it easier to maintain momentum and keep progress moving forward.
