Yvon Yagbazia, BACP

Yvon Yagbazia is a psychodynamic psychotherapist and counsellor who also brings training as a life and performance coach to his clinical work. He practices within a mental health and counselling service in North London and offers sessions in both English and French. As a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), he follows professional standards associated with that organisation.

Yvon specialises in helping people who are managing trauma and abuse, low self esteem, depression, stress, anxiety, anger, and compassion fatigue, alongside a broad range of related concerns such as attachment and identity issues, relationship difficulties, and work or caregiver stress. His approach treats psychotherapy as a personal, reflective process - a chance to look closely at one’s life and history to better understand patterns of feeling and behaviour.

In sessions he aims to create a non-evaluative space where people can speak openly and explore both conscious and unconscious influences on their lives. He works collaboratively to bring understanding to difficult experiences and to reduce the ways those experiences create obstacles or emotional pain. Prospective clients can expect a thoughtful, person-focused path toward greater clarity and self-understanding.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person at the heart of the work - it emphasises empathy, respect, and supporting clients to find their own solutions. This approach can be helpful for concerns such as self-esteem, relationship difficulties, and navigating life transitions because it prioritises the client’s perspective and pace.

Psychodynamic Therapy explores how past experiences and unconscious patterns shape current feelings and behaviour. It helps people understand recurring emotional responses, relational patterns, and the underlying sources of anxiety, depression, or difficulties stemming from trauma and attachment issues.

Finding the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. Yvon works with each person to identify which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, and adapts the work as understanding develops over time.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can be scheduled as video calls, over the phone, via live chat, or through text-based messaging to fit different routines and comfort levels. For many people this means easier access to regular support, more options for maintaining continuity between sessions, and the ability to engage in therapy from wherever they are, helping the therapeutic process fit into daily life.
