Personal And Philosophical Reflection On Mentorship
The Heythrop Association · Sep 9, 2025
I don’t see coaching as transactional; I see it as transformational. Whether I’m mentoring neurodiverse pupils, supporting BAME girls in sacred music, or guiding the children of global leaders through high-stakes interviews, I try to create a space of reverence and rhythm. A ceremony of care where young people can discover their voice and honour their story.
