About Yvon
Yvon Yagbazia is a psychodynamic psychotherapist and counsellor who works in English and French. He practises in the United Kingdom and also works in a mental health and counselling service in North London. He aims to help people who have had a difficult time or who find it hard to ask for help.
Yvon describes therapy as personal work on your life and history. Sessions focus on understanding patterns of feeling and behaviour that cause pain or get in the way of living. He offers a calm space to speak openly without feeling judged, and to look at both conscious experience and hidden influences.
His background includes psychodynamic and person-centred approaches, and he has also trained as a life and performance coach. In practice this means sessions can attend to inner conflicts and past relationships, while also focusing on practical steps and goals when needed. He draws on four years of clinical experience in his work.
Yvon commonly helps with trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression, stress, anxiety, anger and compassion fatigue. He also supports people dealing with codependency, attachment issues, adoption and foster-care experiences, autism spectrum concerns, body image, chronic illness and caregiver strain.
People who choose to work with him can expect a collaborative process. He aims to help clients find meaning in their thoughts and actions and to reduce patterns that cause suffering. A straightforward first step is to use the Start Therapy button, complete the short matching questionnaire, and schedule a session according to his availability.
How psychodynamic and client-centred work online
Psychodynamic therapy in online sessions focuses on patterns from your history and how they show up now. It helps when old relationship dynamics, repeated emotional reactions or past hurts are getting in the way of daily life. Client-Centred Therapy concentrates on the person's experience in the moment, offering empathic listening and space to make choices about change.Choosing the right approach is part of the process, and the therapist will work with each person to find what fits. That means discussing goals, priorities and how you prefer to work, then adjusting the style as therapy progresses. The emphasis is on collaboration rather than one fixed method.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm the exact session options before booking since formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also help when quieter surroundings or lower bandwidth are more practical. Registered or accredited professionals, including therapists who use psychodynamic and person-centred methods, commonly adapt their approach to suit the online setting and the client's needs.
