Yvon Yagbazia
Understanding past patterns to ease present struggles
About Yvon
Yvon Yagbazia helps people facing trauma, abuse, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, stress, anger and compassion fatigue. He works with a wide range of concerns including attachment and abandonment issues, body image, chronic illness, caregiving strain and relationship communication problems. Yvon speaks English and French and practises from the United Kingdom.
Yvon combines a client-centred stance with psychodynamic ideas. He aims to make sessions a calm space where people can speak without feeling judged.
Background and approach
Conversations focus on what matters now and how past experiences still affect choices and feelings. Sessions are framed as a personal exploration. He encourages people to look at life history and patterns to better understand themselves.
The goal is to find meaning in behaviours that cause pain or block progress, and to reduce distress over time. In addition to his psychotherapy work, he has experience in mental health and counselling services in North London. He brings four years of practice to his work and uses that background to tailor each session to the individual’s needs.
People can expect simple, direct language in sessions and an emphasis on listening and reflection. Yvon offers help for a broad range of difficulties, including addiction-related concerns, neurodiversity issues, grief, sexual concerns, work stress and personal development. He aims to collaborate with people to find realistic ways forward.

How Yvon’s approaches work online
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person's own experience. The therapist listens without judgement and reflects what is said so people feel heard. This approach helps with low self-esteem, stress and relationship communication by building clearer self-understanding.Psychodynamic Therapy looks at recurring patterns and how past experiences shape current feelings and reactions. Sessions explore emotional history and unconscious themes to make sense of repeated difficulties like anxiety, trauma responses or attachment problems.
Choosing the right approach is usually a shared process. Yvon will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and suggest whether client-centred work, psychodynamic exploration, or a mix would be most useful. The plan can be adjusted as work progresses so it stays practical and relevant.
Online sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging. Video is good for face-to-face conversation and non-verbal cues, while phone calls work when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text are helpful for brief check-ins, journalling-style reflections or when typing feels easier than talking. These options give flexibility to fit therapy around work, travel or daily life.
