About Yvon

Yvon Yagbazia is a counsellor who works with people facing issues such as trauma and abuse, self-esteem struggles, depression, stress, anxiety, anger and compassion fatigue. He offers sessions in English and French and brings four years of experience to his practice. Yvon aims to create a calm space where people can speak honestly about what is hard for them.

He uses a psychodynamic outlook alongside client-centred ways of working. That means he pays attention to how past experiences shape present feelings and looks for patterns that repeat in day-to-day life. Sessions are conversational and focused on helping the person make sense of thoughts, feelings and behaviours.

Yvon describes therapy as a personal process of looking more closely at life and history. He helps people connect what they notice in sessions with what happens outside them. This can open up new choices and reduce things that feel stuck or painful.

He also works within a mental health and counselling service in North London, so he brings both clinical and practical perspectives to sessions. People often come for help with attachment issues, body image, relationship communication, chronic illness or caregiving strain among other concerns.

Yvon encourages a non-judgemental space where people can speak freely. He invites those who feel ready to explore their experience to begin by completing a short questionnaire and arranging an initial appointment.

How these approaches work online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening closely and responding to what the person brings. The counsellor offers empathy and reflection to help people find their own solutions and build self-understanding; this can help with low self-esteem, stress and relationship worries.

Psychodynamic Therapy looks at how past experiences shape current feelings and behaviour. It helps identify repeating patterns and unconscious motives so people can make different choices and feel less overwhelmed by old reactions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs and together they will agree which style feels most useful. That conversation is collaborative and may change as therapy progresses.

Session formats are not listed in the supplied biography, so please confirm available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work, childcare or travel, and they allow people to connect from different locations. Some formats can be shorter or need less bandwidth, which suits quick check-ins or busy days, while other formats allow longer, more reflective sessions. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists often use online work to help therapy fit daily life without changing the core therapeutic process.
