Hello, I’m Lukasz
LUKASZ BIRYCKI [HE/HIM], MSc
COSRT Registered Psychosexual & Relationship Therapist
IAPC&M Accredited Senior Coach
Counsellor | Author | Trainer
I am a psychosexual and relationship therapist, counsellor, coach, author, and trainer with almost twenty years of experience working across healthcare, community, and third-sector settings.
Over the years, I have worked alongside people navigating relationships, sexuality, intimacy, identity, life transitions, disability, neurodiversity, long-term health conditions, caring responsibilities, and questions around belonging. My work has often brought me into contact with people whose experiences sit outside what society expects or makes space for, and who may have spent much of their lives adapting to environments that were not designed with them in mind.
I am particularly interested in the ways our relationships, identities, bodies, cultures, and communities shape how we see ourselves and connect with others. This includes the experiences of LGBTQIA+ people, people with disabilities, neurodivergent people, migrants, carers, and others whose voices are not always fully recognised within health, social care, and wider society.
People seek therapy for many reasons. Sometimes they are looking for space to reflect. Sometimes they are facing a significant life change, rethinking a relationship, exploring their sexuality, making sense of a diagnosis, adjusting to a change in health, or considering who they are becoming. At other times, there may simply be a sense that something important needs attention.
My approach is relational and integrative. I draw on psychosexual therapy, counselling, and coaching, alongside humanistic, systemic, and cognitive behavioural perspectives. Rather than following a rigid model, I aim to create a way of working that is responsive to your experiences, values, and hopes for the future.
Alongside my clinical practice, I have contributed to professional training, education, service development, and published writing. I remain committed to continuing professional development and am currently furthering my studies in psychology and addiction psychology. I am passionate about expanding conversations around sexuality, disability, mental health, relationships, inclusion, and the complex realities of being human.
My own experiences have also shaped the therapist I have become. Growing up in a working-class family and later building a life in the UK gave me first-hand experience of navigating different cultures, expectations, and systems. These experiences continue to inform my understanding of identity, resilience, community, and what it means to find a sense of home and belonging.
Above all, I aim to offer a space where you can bring your full self, speak openly, and feel genuinely heard.
Professional Background & Clinical Experience
Lukasz Birycki is an integrative psychosexual and relationship therapist, counsellor and IAPC&M Accredited Senior Coach at JKL Therapy Centre.
He brings extensive professional experience across healthcare, sexual health, counselling and coaching, supporting adults with a broad range of psychosexual, psychological and relational difficulties.
His clinical work encompasses sexual desire and arousal concerns, sexual functioning difficulties, intimacy, communication, relationship dissatisfaction, emotional disconnection and identity exploration.
A particular focus of his practice is masculinity, men's psychological wellbeing and the relationship between gender expectations, sexuality and emotional expression.
His work explores how cultural narratives surrounding masculinity may influence men's relationships with vulnerability, emotional intimacy, sexual performance, self-worth and help-seeking. He recognises that these experiences are shaped by individual histories, relationships and wider social expectations, rather than by gender alone.
Lukasz's approach integrates psychotherapeutic exploration with coaching-informed strategies, supporting clients who wish to understand established psychological and relational patterns while developing practical ways of moving forward.
Disability, Sexual Health & Inclusive Practice
Alongside his clinical work, Lukasz collaborates with the Avalon Foundation in Poland, an organisation supporting people with disabilities.
This collaboration contributes to his wider professional engagement with disability, sexuality, sexual health and relational wellbeing, particularly the importance of accessible education and support that recognises the sexual rights, autonomy and individual experiences of people with disabilities..
His professional interests also include the intersections of physical health, psychological wellbeing, cultural identity and sexuality, recognising that psychosexual difficulties cannot always be understood independently of the wider circumstances in which people live.
Academic Development, Writing & Training
Lukasz holds an MSc and continues to develop his academic and clinical knowledge through further study.
He is currently undertaking a Level 7 Diploma in the Psychology of Addiction and studying towards a BSc in Applied Psychology at MLU London.
His developing academic interests include the psychological and relational dimensions of addiction, emotional regulation, behavioural patterns and the relationship between mental health, sexuality and interpersonal functioning.
Lukasz also contributes to professional writing and education. He co-authored a chapter in the Routledge publication Developing Cultural Sensitivity in Psychosexual Therapy, examining the intersections of Polish history, cultural identity, masculinity, intergenerational experiences and psychosexual wellbeing.
As an author and trainer, he contributes to discussions and professional learning in psychosexual therapy, neurodivergence, relationships and culturally responsive clinical practice.
Therapeutic Approach
Lukasz's clinical approach reflects an integration of psychotherapeutic understanding and practical, collaborative work.
He recognises that psychological distress, sexual difficulties and relationship challenges rarely exist in isolation. Individual experiences are shaped by personal history, relationships, cultural context, neurodevelopmental differences and wider social circumstances.
His work offers opportunities to explore these experiences while supporting clients in developing greater self-understanding, autonomy and confidence in making meaningful changes.
At JKL Therapy Centre, Lukasz provides an inclusive and reflective therapeutic space for adults seeking support with psychosexual and relationship difficulties, as well as those wishing to explore broader questions of identity, personal development and relational wellbeing.
My Service
Psychosexual & Relationship Therapy
Psychosexual (sex) psychotherapy is a specialised form of psychotherapy designed to help individuals and relationships address sexual issues and improve their sexual satisfaction.
Counselling & Coaching
Counselling and coaching are both forms of professional support aimed at helping individuals, couples and diverse relationships.
Dating Coaching
You're not alone. Many people find modern dating overwhelming, whether it’s online dating, confidence issues, or trouble making meaningful connections.
Support for Intellectual Disabilities
People with learning disabilities and autism often receive little tailored support when it comes to sexual education and relationships.
I offer therapy sessions with a reduced concession rate for trainee therapist/counsellors.
I offer affordable therapy and coaching for trainee counsellors, psychotherapists, and related professionals who require personal therapy as part of their training or who are seeking additional support during study or placement. Sessions are held online and offered at a reduced rate for trainees.
I warmly welcome colleagues from global majority communities, working-class backgrounds, and those living with disabilities, learning difficulties, or who identify as coming from marginalised or underrepresented communities.
Testimonials
-
Lukasz is a kind and a very capable therapist. He truly puts an effort into creating a safe space for his clients. From the beginning, he made sure both my partner and I felt comfortable with him as an interracial queer couple. Especially, as we are both neurodivergent, it was essential to feel seen and supportive. Lukasz has been an affirming and safe presence in a very difficult time for us and I feel very lucky to have had a chance to work with him. I highly recommend Lukasz as a therapist, anyone would be lucky to work with him.

Working with Lukasz was a turning point in my life. When I first started therapy, I was struggling with anxiety and self-doubt. Over our sessions, he provided a safe, non-judgmental space where I could explore my deepest fears. His innovative techniques and genuine care helped me develop tools to manage my emotions and build genuine self-love. I’m grateful for the personal growth I’ve experienced.

Testimonial
“My partner and I wanted to explore further the idea of an open relationship and we decided that the best way to do this was with the support of a therapist. I think given the topic there was a hesitation from both of us as talking about sex is let’s be honest extremely awkward.
Prior to our first session I did in honesty feel apprehensive about working with a male therapist. I think due to my history of having experienced sexual abuse and having had a negative experience with a male therapist I struggle with feeling vulnerable around men.
I cannot begin to tell you how grateful I am for pushing through this apprehension.
The approach that Lukasz has to therapy has provided me with the space to feel safe, heard and empowered throughout. I have never felt as supported or safe in a shared space with men as I have in those sessions.
My partner is truly the most beautiful human I have met inside and out and the work we have done together and as a team in our online sessions has only furthered my love and understanding for him. I feel like the time we have invested with Lukasz has been a life long gift for our relationship, for ourselves individually and also for our sons.
Thank you Lukasz for your time, commitment and compassion that you bring to your work.
You will change lives with your approach to counselling and I can’t thank you enough for walking alongside us on this journey”
