Yvon Yagbazia, BACP

Yvon Yagbazia helps people facing trauma, abuse, low self-esteem, depression, anxiety, stress, anger and compassion fatigue. He offers sessions in English and French and works from a clinical perspective that pays attention to life history and current struggles. He has four years of professional experience and is a BACP member. Yvon uses conversations to help people understand how past experiences shape present reactions. Sessions are meant to be a space where someone can speak without feeling judged. He aims to listen closely and reflect back what he notices, so people can make sense of difficult feelings and patterns. His psychodynamic approach looks at unconscious or long-standing patterns that can cause pain or get in the way of relationships and goals. The process often involves looking at early experiences and how they influence choices today. This can help when someone feels stuck or keeps repeating the same problems. He also works in a client-centred way, which focuses on the person in front of him and their immediate concerns. That style emphasises being heard and supported while deciding what changes to try next. People often use this when they want a steady, accepting space to talk things through. Yvon has worked in a mental health and counselling service in North London and combines his clinical work with life and performance coaching experience. If you are unsure about beginning therapy, he encourages a first step of talking about what feels most pressing and seeing how the relationship develops.

How his approaches translate to online therapy

Client-centred work focuses on listening and creating a supportive space. Online sessions can still offer that kind of steady, empathic conversation, helping people talk through current worries and make practical choices about next steps.

Psychodynamic therapy pays attention to long-term patterns and past experiences. In remote sessions this approach can help people notice recurring themes, emotional reactions and relationship habits while discussing life history and present difficulties.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. He will discuss goals and preferences with each person and together they will decide whether to focus more on present-day concerns or on deeper, history-based patterns. That decision is collaborative and may change as therapy develops.

The biography does not state which online formats are offered, so please confirm available session options before booking. Remote therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also make continuing work between in-person appointments more convenient for many people.
