Lyra Bartsch, Relationship Therapist & Sexologist – Amsterdam City Centre

Love, intimacy, and sex can be powerful sources of joy, connection, and personal growth. Yet, it’s often in our most intimate moments that we’re also the most vulnerable, which can make these topics complex. Relationship and sexual issues affect the mind, body, and soul, and can carry significant emotional weight. That’s why it’s my mission to create a safe, non-judgmental, and collaborative space in which we work together to deepen your understanding of yourself and your relationship(s).

Society often imposes ideas about how sexuality and relationships are “supposed” to be, but I believe this is a unique and personal journey – one that looks different for everyone. I welcome all forms of consensual expression – from diverse forms of intimacy to celibacy and everything in between. Everyone’s authentic desires and boundaries deserve to be discovered and honored at their own pace.

My approach is holistic and tailored to the individual or individuals in front of me, with awareness of cultural and sexual diversity. My goal is to support you in developing a fulfilling relationship with your sexuality, yourself, and your partner(s). 

Background

I’ve lived in four different countries and speak English, German, and Dutch. After completing my Bachelor’s degree in Psychology, I specialized in Clinical Psychosexology (MSc), which allowed me to focus more deeply on topics such as relationships and sexuality. In my work, I find it deeply important to foster loving connection and reduce the stigma surrounding sexuality.
