About Yvon
Yvon Yagbazia is a BACP counsellor and psychodynamic psychotherapist with four years' experience based in the United Kingdom. He works with people facing trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression, stress, anxiety, anger and compassion fatigue. Sessions are offered in English and French and international clients are accepted.
He describes psychotherapy as a personal, self-focused process. He invites clients to look at their life and history to better understand present difficulties. In sessions he aims to reduce judgement and allow people to speak openly about what is troubling them.
His background includes work in a mental health and counselling service in North London, alongside training as a life and performance coach. That mix informs a practical orientation to everyday problems as well as interest in deeper patterns from the past.
Yvon uses client-centred methods alongside psychodynamic ideas. Client-centred work focuses on the person's experience here and now. Psychodynamic work pays attention to how past relationships and unconscious patterns affect current feelings and choices.
People come to him for a wide range of concerns beyond the core listed above, including relationship difficulties, identity questions, grief and work stress. He also notes experience with neurodiversity, body image concerns and care-related stress. Sessions aim to make difficult feelings easier to describe and to find ways forward that fit each person's life.

Psychodynamic and client-centred work over video or phone
Yvon uses client-centred work and psychodynamic ideas as the basis for remote sessions. Client-Centred Therapy centres on the person’s own experience in the room, with the counsellor listening closely to feelings and choices. It is useful for present-day worries like low self-esteem, anxiety and relationship strain.Psychodynamic Therapy focuses on how past relationships and unconscious patterns shape current behaviour and emotions. This approach can help when problems recur or when people want to understand why they repeat certain patterns.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. He will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, and adjust the way of working as understanding grows. That collaboration helps shape whether sessions stay focused on practical coping or go deeper into life history.
