Yvon Yagbazia, BACP

Yvon Yagbazia helps people who are facing trauma, abuse, low self-esteem, depression, anxiety, stress, anger and compassion fatigue. He speaks English and French and works online with people inside and outside the United Kingdom. Yvon aims to make it easier to ask for help when life becomes hard.

He offers a calm, non-judgemental space where clients can talk about their past and present. Sessions focus on understanding how life events and relationships shape current difficulties. Yvon listens closely and mirrors back what he hears to help make patterns clearer.

Yvon combines Client-Centred approaches with psychodynamic ideas. That means he pays attention to how early experiences and hidden feelings might influence behaviour. He also values the client’s own goals and pace during therapy.

His background includes four years working in mental health and counselling services in North London. He is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. This is the credential shown on his profile.

People often come to him for issues linked to attachment, abandonment and adoption, body image, chronic illness, caregiving stress, or complex sexuality and kink topics. He also supports those dealing with communication problems, codependency and the effects of trauma. Sessions can be arranged to fit different needs and schedules.

Yvon describes therapy as a process of making sense of conscious and unconscious patterns. He aims to help people find relief from what causes pain or holds them back. If someone is ready to begin, he guides them through the first steps and ongoing planning.

How client-centred and psychodynamic work translate online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening, acceptance and helping the client set their own goals. Online this means sessions centre on what matters most to the person, with the therapist reflecting feelings and priorities back to help clarify them. Psychodynamic Therapy pays attention to how past experiences and unconscious patterns shape current behaviour. In a remote setting this can help someone notice repeating patterns in relationships or emotions and then work through them one step at a time.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic work. Yvon will discuss aims, preferences and what feels helpful, and adjust the way he works to match those needs. That collaborative process helps choose whether more focus stays in the here-and-now or whether deeper exploration of past influences is useful.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls are useful for a fuller face-to-face feel, phone sessions can be shorter or need less bandwidth, live chat suits quick check-ins and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caring commitments and different time zones while keeping the focus on progress and accessibility.
