Background and approach

Sessions are conversational and focused on making sense of both conscious and unconscious behaviours that cause pain or get in the way of living well. His approach is grounded in psychodynamic thinking alongside person‑centred practice. That means he pays attention to past experiences and current feelings, while keeping the client’s own goals and choices at the centre of the work.

People can expect a reflective space to talk through difficult memories and emotions without feeling judged. Yvon has experience supporting a wide range of concerns, including compassion fatigue, anger, chronic illness and body image. He also works with matters such as attachment struggles, adoption and foster care issues, and sexual identity or kink-related questions.

These varied areas inform how he tailors sessions to each person. He offers conversations about practical life problems as well as deeper therapy aimed at lasting change. If someone wants sessions that combine exploration of past patterns with a focus on present goals, Yvon provides steady, calm support to help them move forward.

Therapeutic approaches and what online therapy offers

Psychodynamic Therapy focuses on how past experiences and unconscious patterns shape present feelings and behaviours. In brief sessions with this approach, a counsellor will listen for recurring themes and help connect past events to current reactions, which can help when dealing with long‑standing anxiety, trauma or relationship difficulties.

Client‑Centred Therapy places the person’s own goals and choices at the heart of the work. The counsellor offers empathic listening and gentle reflection so clients can explore their thoughts and decide what changes they want. This approach suits people seeking clearer self‑understanding or support with issues like low self‑esteem and stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and tailor the mix of psychodynamic and person‑centred ways of working. Decisions about focus and pace are made collaboratively so sessions match what the client needs.

Online therapy here is delivered by registered or accredited professionals using video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text‑based messaging. Video sessions are useful for deeper conversations, phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat can suit short check‑ins, and messaging lets people write between sessions. These options give flexibility to fit therapy around work, travel or busy home life.
