About Yvon
Yvon Yagbazia is a counsellor and psychodynamic psychotherapist who works with men on problems such as trauma, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem and stress. He offers sessions in English and French and brings four years of practice to conversations about what is causing pain or getting in the way of everyday life.
He describes therapy as a personal process that looks at life and history to understand current patterns. Sessions are presented as a space to speak openly without feeling judged. The aim is to make sense of both conscious and unconscious behaviour so that those patterns stop causing distress.
In sessions he supports people by listening, reflecting and helping them notice links between past experience and present reactions. He uses a psychodynamic viewpoint alongside a client-centred stance to prioritise the person’s experience in the room. This means the focus is on what matters to the individual and how their history shows up now.
Yvon also works in a mental health and counselling service in North London and combines this with life and performance coaching skills. He draws on these perspectives to help people set goals and practise changes between sessions when that is helpful.
Clients can expect a calm, conversational style that encourages honest reflection. He welcomes people who have struggled to ask for help before and aims to be a steady presence while they sort through difficult feelings and life events.
How his approaches translate to online work
Client-Centred Therapy places the person’s experience at the heart of the work. It focuses on listening, empathy and the client’s priorities to support change and clearer self-understanding. This approach suits issues like low self-esteem, stress and difficult decisions.Psychodynamic Therapy looks at how past experiences influence present feelings and actions. It helps uncover recurring patterns and links between early relationships and current problems such as anxiety, trauma responses and relationship difficulties.
Finding the right approach is part of the process and will be collaborative. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and how either a client-centred or psychodynamic focus might help. Together they decide what feels like the best fit and adjust the way they work over time.
The biography did not list specific session formats, so confirm exact online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around daily life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins during a busy week. It can also make it simpler to access a therapist who speaks English or French when travel is difficult. Registered or accredited professionals can offer helpful continuity of care remotely, and practical considerations like quieter surroundings or reduced travel often make it easier to keep regular sessions.
