About Yvon

Yvon Yagbazia works with people experiencing trauma, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, stress, anger and compassion fatigue using psychodynamic and client-centred approaches. He is a member of the BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, and has four years' experience in counselling and psychotherapy.

Yvon offers individual psychotherapy that focuses on understanding how past experiences shape present feelings and behaviour. Sessions are intended as a place to talk through difficult memories and current struggles without judgement. He also draws on person-centred ideas to help people express what matters to them and to be heard in the moment.

In practice he aims to look at patterns that repeat across relationships and to make sense of how unconscious beliefs affect day-to-day life. This can include discussing attachment, abandonment or relationship difficulties, and looking at how loss or trauma continues to affect mood and behaviour.

Yvon works with a wide range of concerns beyond core trauma-related issues. These include body image, chronic illness and pain, caregiver stress, adoption and foster care questions, sexual and relationship identities, and work-related stress. He also notes experience with autism spectrum differences and some personality-related concerns such as avoidant or antisocial patterns.

Sessions can be conducted in English or French. Yvon also accepts international clients and combines clinical work with experience in a mental health and counselling service in North London. To begin, clients use the site matching steps to select a counsellor and schedule a first session.

How his approaches work for online counselling

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and helping the person find their own way of understanding problems; it is useful for low self-esteem, stress, and relationship difficulties. Psychodynamic Therapy looks at patterns that come from past experiences and unconscious beliefs and can help with trauma, depression and recurring emotional problems.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Yvon will discuss your needs, goals and preferences and agree a way of working together that fits those factors. This is a collaborative process and the approach can be adjusted as therapy progresses.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm available formats before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling around work, family or medical appointments and reduce travel time. They also allow for shorter check-ins when needed and can suit people who prefer not to travel to an appointment.
