Ursula Carstens Clinical Psychologist

Ursula Carstens is a Clinical Psychologist with over 12 years’ experience working alongside children, young people and their families. Her work is grounded in evidence-based practice and a holistic, trauma-informed understanding of children within the context of their relationships, environments and developmental stage.

Ursula supports children experiencing anxiety, emotional or behavioural difficulties, challenges with regulation and the impact of stress or change. She also works with children and families seeking assessment and diagnostic clarification, including where there are questions around neurodiversity.

She understands that this process can feel overwhelming for parents and aims to provide clarity, care and thoughtful guidance throughout.

Her approach is integrated, affirming and trauma-informed, drawing on a range of evidence-based therapeutic and assessment frameworks to support each child’s individual needs. Ursula focuses on understanding the meaning behind behaviours, supporting emotional wellbeing and strengthening development in ways that feel respectful, practical and achievable.

She is committed to helping children feel understood and supported, while working collaboratively with parents to make sense of their child’s experiences and needs.

Ursula provides clear insights, meaningful recommendations and support that extends beyond the therapy space.
