ICF Accredited Coach Development and Mentoring Programme
Do you want to be the best coach you can be?
If you are a qualified coach who wants to take their coaching to the next level then this is for you!
It provides Coach Development Training and Mentoring in line with the ICF Core Competencies to take your skills to a higher level.
What makes this programme different?
What makes this Coach Development and Mentoring Programme different is that I focus on nurturing you as a coach.
I teach and mentor you to hone and develop your coaching skills in non-directive coaching so that you become a more confident and accomplished coach whatever your niche.
You learn to let go of the need to rely on a particular set of tools and become a more flexible and intuitive coach.
At the same time we explore the Coaching Core Competencies in depth so that you know them inside out and can reflect them in your coaching to take it to a higher level.
N.B. It provides 40 CCEUs or 10 hrs of ICF Mentor Coaching plus 30 CCEUs with an experienced ICF Master Certified Coach.
If you are interested in gaining or renewing your ICF Credential then this provides the necessary CCEUs and mentoring.
I know many coaches are apprehensive about ICF – they would like to have the credential and the greater professional credibility that gives them, but have heard that it’s difficult to get. They’re worried that they won’t be good enough or experienced enough for mentoring, that they will embarass themselves or be told they’re rubbish as a coach.
I demystify it all and take you step by step through the process, and hold your hand if you need me to, so that you increase your coaching confidence and develop your coaching skills.
You will complete the programme with an enhanced belief in yourself as a professional coach, together with greater confidence to coach in any niche.
I use everything I’ve learned from my extensive experience and expertise as an ICF Master Certified Coach and Advanced Skills Teacher to give you the best coach development and mentoring.
Whether or not you are applying for your ICF Credential you will hugely benefit in further developing your confidence and coaching skills.

What coaches are saying about the programme…
"Wow Cath! I am blown away by your incredible teaching and mentoring style. It is so lovely. So powerful. So informative. So supportive. So everything I would hoped it would be."
“I’d totally endorse working with Cath. Having worked with other ICF mentors and supervisors for years, it was Cath’s guidance that got me over the line to submit my application.”
This takes place over a period of five calendar months and is a combination of group work, 1-2-1 sessions and self study.
It consists of….
- 5 x 2 hr Sessions of Group Coach Development and Mentoring in a small group
- 3 hours one-on-one mentoring
- 3 x 2hr Extended Coach Practice Development Sessions
- Credential Session (2hrs) for those applying for their credential
In the Group Coach Development and Mentoring Sessions we focus on an in-depth study of the Coaching Core Competencies at different levels (for ICF at ACC, ACC Renewal, PCC, MCC levels) so that you understand them and how to evidence them in your coaching.
Each call has a different focus and you get to practise coaching with dynamic feedback from me. (The mentoring is at the PCC level for ACC and PCC).
In the Extended Coach Practice Development Sessions we focus on different key core competencies with a Coaching Demonstration by me followed by the opportunity to practice your coaching skills with additional live feedback.
Your two personal 90 min 1-2-1 sessions with me may be used in a number of ways e.g. we can go through a coaching recording together, or do coaching skills exercises or you can practise your coaching – all with dynamic feedback from me.
In the Credential Session, for those going for their credential, I take you step by step through the ICF application process.
In addition we look at how the exam works, go through some exemplar exam questions, etc. and I answer any questions you may have about any part of the process.
In addition to the 21 hours live contact time with me you also have access to:
- audio recordings of all of the group sessions (10 hrs)
- training masterclasses and exercises focussing on increasing your knowledge and skills in specific development areas (6 hrs)
- access to a range of ICF approved recorded coaching sessions for you listen to and understand the difference between the different credential levels of ACC,PCC and MCC (6 hrs) with the opportunity ro record your key learning
- and lots more…..
You have access to your own Coach Development and Mentoring Dashboard where you can access the many resources provided throughout the programme as many times as you like.

What coaches are saying about the programme…
“At the beginning I was worried that my skills as a coach weren’t good enough and I had been getting things wrong and I was going to be exposed. You explained what was different between OOM and what ICF expected i.e. non directional coaching and provided the practical support, advice and feedback that I needed. You helped me to understand what was required to be a successful ICF coach and a successful coach for my clients and gave me the confidence to apply for my ICF Credential.”
“I signed up for mentoring with Cath to get feedback and guidance so I can improve as a coach. I wholeheartedly recommend Cath as an ICF mentor. If anyone is thinking about working with Cath, I’d say go for it. It will not only give you the mentoring required but also will make you feel so much better about yourself as a coach.
Cath is knowledgeable, professional, and has a great balance of being firm and yet compassionate. Thank you, Cath, for helping me on my journey to become the coach I always wanted to be.”
