About Yvon
Yvon Yagbazia works with people dealing with trauma, abuse, low self-esteem, depression, stress, anxiety, anger and compassion fatigue. He offers therapy in English and French and brings four years of clinical experience to sessions. He aims to create a calm space where people can speak openly without feeling judged.
Yvon describes therapy as a personal exploration of how past events shape present feelings and behaviour. He helps people look back over their history to make sense of recurring patterns and to reduce the pain those patterns cause.
How Yvon works
Sessions focus on conversation and reflection rather than on quick fixes. His work is informed by client-centred principles, which put the person’s perspective at the heart of the process. He also draws on psychodynamic ideas to notice how unconscious feelings and early relationships influence current struggles.
Together these approaches support deeper understanding as well as practical change. In addition to his independent practice, Yvon works in a mental health and counselling service in North London. He also has experience as a life and performance coach, which informs brief goal-focused moments in therapy when useful.
He accepts international clients and uses online formats. People can expect sessions that are calm, respectful and curious. Yvon aims to help clients find clearer ways of relating to themselves and others, and to reduce the hold of painful patterns.
He encourages steady progress at a pace that suits each person.

Online support options
How psychodynamic and client-centred ideas work online
Client-centred therapy focuses on understanding your experience from your point of view. The therapist listens closely, reflects what you say and supports your own sense of direction. This approach helps when someone needs to feel heard and to build self-trust.Psychodynamic therapy looks at how past relationships and unconscious feelings affect current patterns. It helps make sense of repeated reactions and emotional knots that cause distress. This approach can be useful for trauma, attachment issues and long-standing mood or anxiety problems.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with you about your needs, goals and preferences and together decide which methods to use. That collaborative process means approaches can be blended or adapted as therapy progresses.
Online formats bring practical flexibility. Video calls are close to face-to-face sessions and work well for deeper conversation. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when you prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging allow shorter check-ins or ongoing support between longer sessions. Registered or accredited professionals can use these formats to fit therapy around work, travel and family commitments.
