About me
My name is Lyra Bartsch and I'm a clinical Psychosexologist. I attained my BSc in Psychology at the University of Amsterdam in the Netherlands in 2021. This is where my passion for sexology started in an elective class on the topic. I then decided to specialize in clinical Psychosexology and moved to Italy, where I completed my MSc in Clinical Psychosexology at Sapienza University in Rome in 2024. I have since started working as a freelance sexologist and sex and couples counsellor.
In my work, I use elements of systemic sex therapy and mindfulness-based approaches with a client-focused perspective, using empirically supported methods to help each individual client or couple in a way that works best for them.
Sexuality can be a difficult topic to talk about, so I am very passionate about breaking taboos and promoting sexual and relational well-being through open communication.

Osnabrück, Germany
Approach
Treatment Approaches
Holistic approachRecommended for those who want to address their mental health through a balanced focus on mind, body, and spirit.
Sex therapyRecommended for individuals or couples who want help improving their sex life, intimacy, or overcoming sexual issues in a supportive environment.
Systemic ApproachRecommended for those who want to look at how different systems—like family, work, or society—affect their behavior and relationships.
My therapeutic approach is holistic and individually tailored, integrating mindfulness practices with systems-based methods. I aim to create a safe, collaborative space built on trust where clients feel heard and validated. Each session adapts to the client's/couple's unique needs, using proven therapeutic approaches that create lasting positive changes and growth in personal identity, sexual wellbeing, and relational wellbeing.
My goal is to empower clients to cultivate a more fulfilling relationship with their sexuality, themselves, and their partner.

Education
MSc Clinical Psychosexology
La Sapienza University of Rome (2022 - 2024)
This program allowed me to expand my knowledge and skills in clinical psychology, while also specializing in sexology. It enabled me to both continue on the path I took in my Bachelor's and delve deeper into my passion for sexual health and wellbeing. The program was based on the bio-psycho-social model and ensured an intersectional education including LGBTQIA+ identities and diverse sexual backgrounds and interests. I conducted research on perceptions of partner sexual satisfaction and graduated with honors.
BSc Psychology
University of Amsterdam (2018-2021)
My Bachelor's program provided me with a solid foundation in neuroscience, cognitive-, social-, organizational-, and clinical psychology. Drawing on this program, I bring a comprehensive understanding of human behavior and psychological principles to my therapeutic practice, providing an evidence-based foundation for supporting clients' growth and wellbeing.
