Yvon Yagbazia, BACP

Yvon Yagbazia is a psychodynamic psychotherapist and counsellor who combines clinical psychotherapy with training as a life and performance coach. He also works within a mental health and counselling service in North London and offers sessions in both English and French. BACP appears among his listed credentials - BACP is the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, a professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists in the United Kingdom.

Yvon focuses on helping people make sense of difficult periods and long-standing patterns by exploring personal history, emotional experience, and everyday relationships. His practice addresses a range of concerns including trauma and abuse, self esteem difficulties, depression, stress and anxiety, anger, and compassion fatigue. He also works with issues such as attachment and abandonment, adoption and foster care experiences, identity and body image concerns, relationship and communication problems, and challenges linked to neurodiversity and chronic illness.

In sessions he aims to create a nonjudgmental space where individuals can reflect on both conscious and unconscious influences on their behaviour. Yvon’s approach emphasises understanding the personal story and supporting clients to develop insight, emotional relief, and more adaptive ways of relating to themselves and others. He welcomes clients seeking a collaborative, reflective therapeutic process and is available to work with people in the United Kingdom and internationally.

Psychodynamic and Client-Centered Support Online

Yvon works primarily from psychodynamic and client-centered perspectives. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a warm, accepting therapeutic relationship and supports clients in exploring their feelings and values; it can be helpful for building self-esteem, improving communication, and navigating life transitions. Psychodynamic Therapy focuses on understanding how past experiences and unconscious patterns influence present behaviour and relationships; it can be useful for addressing trauma, attachment issues, recurring relationship difficulties, and deeper emotional patterns.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Yvon approaches this collaboratively. He will work with each individual to consider their goals, needs, and preferences and to adapt methods so the therapy fits the person rather than forcing a single model.

Online therapy with Yvon is offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, access support from different locations, and choose the format that best suits emotional and practical needs while working with a licensed professional.
