Yvon Yagbazia, BACP

Yvon Yagbazia is a counsellor who helps people facing trauma, anxiety, depression and low self-esteem. He also supports those dealing with stress, anger and compassion fatigue. He offers sessions in English and French and practices from the United Kingdom.

Yvon draws on psychodynamic ideas to look at how past experiences shape current feelings and patterns. He also uses a client-centred way of working that keeps the person’s experience at the centre of sessions. This means conversations focus on what matters to the client and on discovering underlying patterns together.

Sessions are presented as a personal, exploratory process. Yvon aims to create space where people can speak without feeling judged and where they can look at their life and history with clearer perspective. He describes therapy as a chance to reach out to yourself and make sense of painful or repeating behaviours.

His background includes work in a mental health and counselling service in North London and experience as a life and performance coach. He has four years of professional experience and is affiliated with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, listed as BACP.

Yvon works with a wide range of concerns beyond the core list, including attachment and adoption issues, autism spectrum matters, body image and caregiver stress. If someone is unsure whether these topics fit, he invites them to start by sharing what they are facing so the two of them can decide next steps together.

How these approaches work online

Yvon uses client-centred methods and psychodynamic thinking in his work. Client-centred therapy focuses on listening closely and reflecting what the person says so they can find their own solutions; it suits issues like low self-esteem, stress and relationship difficulties. Psychodynamic therapy looks at how past experiences and unconscious patterns influence current feelings and reactions, which can help with trauma, recurring conflicts and long-standing mood problems.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences and then agree a way of working. This is a collaborative process and may change as understanding grows.

Confirm the session formats he offers before booking, as the biography does not specify them. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into everyday life - for example, it can reduce travel time, allow a check-in during a work break or make shorter catch-ups possible. It can also let someone access help across borders, which supports international clients. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists often find that these practical benefits help people keep therapy consistent and manageable.
