change location of y tick labels to the left or right of y axis

Hello,
My y-axis is located at the origin for my hbar graph. The ytick labels are to the right of the y axis and I want to move them to the left. Is this possible?
Thanks.

I can't consistently reproduce the effect but if I try this:
b = barh(randn(10,1));
ax = gca;
ax.YAxisLocation = 'origin';
The marks appear on the left side:
However, sometimes, it moves it to the labels to the right side so it doesn't appear to be very robust.
The other method you could try is to use a text object.
b = barh(randn(10,1));
ax = gca;
ax.YAxisLocation = 'origin';
ax.YTickLabel =[];
for i = 1 :1 : 10
text(0,i,num2str(i),'HorizontalAlignment','right');
end
Thank you! Your second solution works for me. Much appreciated!
