Yvon YagbaziaBACP

Yvon Yagbazia is a BACP counsellor who helps people facing trauma, anxiety, depression, stress, low self-esteem and compassion fatigue. He works in English and French and draws on psychodynamic and client-centred ways of working to support people through difficult periods. He also practises life and performance coaching alongside his counselling work in a North London mental health and counselling service.

Yvon keeps sessions focused on the person in front of him. He helps clients look at their life story and current difficulties to better understand patterns that cause pain or get in the way. Conversations aim to be non-judgemental and respectful, so people can speak openly about hard things.

His psychodynamic perspective pays attention to how past experiences shape current feelings and behaviour. That approach can be useful for issues like trauma, attachment concerns, abandonment or recurring relationship patterns. He also uses client-centred methods that emphasise the person’s own pace and priorities during therapy.

Yvon works with a wide range of concerns, including self-harm, bereavement, addiction-related problems, chronic illness and body image. He names many additional focus areas such as adoption and foster care, autism spectrum conditions, and communication problems. These are areas he is familiar with through his practice.

Sessions aim to help people make sense of conscious and unconscious motives that affect daily life. He will work collaboratively to find meaning in difficult feelings and reduce patterns that cause setbacks. Practical coaching skills are available when someone wants specific goals or performance support.

People interested in arranging sessions choose the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and then schedule according to the therapist’s availability.

How Yvon’s approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and supporting the person’s own goals. The counsellor offers empathy and acceptance, helping people talk through feelings at their own pace. This approach can help with low self-esteem, stress and relationship concerns.

Psychodynamic Therapy looks at how past experiences influence current emotions and behaviour. It encourages reflection on recurring patterns and unconscious motives, which can be helpful for trauma, attachment issues and long-standing mood problems.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Yvon will discuss what feels most helpful and adapt the focus as therapy progresses. The choice is collaborative and based on the person's needs, goals and preferences rather than a fixed method.

The original profile does not list which online or remote formats are used. Please confirm current session options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, allow quieter or shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. They can also suit people who prefer not to be on camera or who need a lower-bandwidth option. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists can tailor how sessions run to suit practical needs.
