Pamela Kirkpatrick: Flipping Burgers for Community
Pamela Kirkpatrick is a practitioner, trainer and co-founder of NCPS Recognised Counselling Service, uHub.
But Pam, along with her colleague Cara, also invest considerable time and energy into their community; a community that continues to bear the bruises from its history.
Communities in Transition, was designed by the NI Executive in 2015 to support projects that would empower individuals and groups to affect positive change for themselves and their communities
To this end, Pam and Cara have given up their own time to connect with an understandably cautious community. So, they developed creative ways to become accepted and from small, tentative steps, meaningful trust was built.
Only then were they were able to support people that previously might never have contemplated change, never mind counselling.
This story is testament not only to our capacity and potential for change, but also to the gentle patience of the practitioner.
It’s a reminder that the work we do, is as much art and creativity, relational and empathy, as it is study and theory.
