About
My name is Daniel EllwoodI am a Clinical Psychologist
I am have extensive clinical experience across the lifespan, working with infants, children, adolescents and adults across a broad range of psychological and developmental presentations.
My professional experience spans public and private mental health services, schools, community settings and multidisciplinary teams, providing comprehensive psychological assessment, diagnosis and treatment for both common and complex mental health conditions.
My clinical interests also include early developmental and complex trauma, attachment difficulties, personality functioning and the ways in which early relational experiences shape emotional regulation, identity and interpersonal relationships throughout life.
I work primarily from a psychodynamic and psychoanalytic perspective, while maintaining a flexible, integrative approach informed by contemporary psychological research and evidence-based interventions. I value understanding each person's unique history, experiences and circumstances rather than focusing solely on symptoms or diagnoses.
I am also a Psychology Board of Australia-approved supervisor, providing professional supervision to provisional psychologists across all registration pathways, as well as psychologists completing the Clinical Psychology Registrar Program. I value supporting developing psychologists through reflective practice, clinical formulation, professional growth and the integration of psychological theory into clinical work.
Above all, I believe effective psychological care involves understanding not only the difficulties people experience, but also the developmental, emotional and relational experiences that have shaped them. My aim is to support meaningful self-understanding, stronger relationships and lasting psychological wellbeing.
