Deborah Gould

Deborah Gould is a Clinical Psychologist, trained in South Africa in the 1980s. She worked in various contexts between qualifying in 1988 and migrating to Australia in 1997. This included 4 years of lecturing and supervision at the University of Cape Town, 10 years in a psychotherapy practice and 4 years providing assessment, psychotherapy and clinical supervision in a large Community Mental Health Service in Soweto.

Since moving to Australia in 1998, she has worked at the Service for the Treatment and Rehabilitation of Torture and Trauma Survivors (STARTTS), as a Clinical Psychologist and clinical supervisor. The model used is short term and focussed on the reduction of the impacts of the trauma of war, torture, loss and resettlement and acculturation on people’s wellbeing. In her role as a Clinical Supervisor over the past 9 years, she has been involved in reflection on and treatment of a great number and variety of refugee clients. It is from here that she draws most of her inspiration and knowledge for this presentation.
