Mentor coaching for your ACC or PCC. And development beyond the credential.
Practical mentor coaching for your ACC or PCC, plus space to practise, experiment and develop your coaching, whether you're pursuing a credential or simply want to become a better coach.
I'm not particularly interested in making feedback sound clever. I want it to be useful.
ACC & PCC MENTOR COACHING
Need to complete your 10 hours of mentor coaching?
If you're working towards your ACC or PCC, you'll need 10 hours of mentor coaching over a minimum of three months, including at least three hours of individual mentor coaching.
Whether you're planning ahead or working to a deadline, I'll help you understand your options and make the most of the time we spend together. We'll work with your actual coaching, using live practice, recording reviews and feedback against the relevant ICF competencies and markers.

I'm Kim, the person behind McQueen Mentoring. I'm an ICF PCC, Mentor Coach and Assessor, but more importantly, I'm someone who really enjoys helping other coaches get better at what they do.
I believe good mentor coaching should give you space to think, practise and occasionally be stopped in your tracks. I'll support you, challenge you and give you feedback you can actually do something with. We can take the work seriously without taking ourselves too seriously.
Other ways to work with me
There are other ways we can work together, depending on what you need.
Prefer to work 1:1?
If you'd rather complete all your mentor coaching individually, that's absolutely fine.
We can arrange all 10 hours as individual sessions, spread over the required minimum three months. We'll work with your coaching recordings, live practice and the areas you particularly want to develop.
Three-Session Mentor Coaching Package
Three individual 60-minute mentor coaching sessions, including a recording review and personalised feedback. Sessions must be completed by 31 December 2026.
This package does not, on its own, fulfil the ICF's 10-hour mentor coaching requirement.
BEYOND CREDENTIALING
Your coaching development doesn't stop when your training ends.
Whether you want to examine your coaching more closely, experiment with different approaches or simply have somewhere to practise alongside other coaches, there's always more to explore.
The Coaches Playroom
£25 per session
75-minute drop-in practice sessions.
Each session focuses on a particular coaching model, tool or approach. A chance to practise with other coaches, experiment and see what works for you.
Second Friday of every month, 12–1.15pm (UK time). Sessions may be eligible for ICF Resource Development CCE units.
Coach Development
£750 for six months
Six 2-hour group sessions over six months.
A small group of coaches taking a closer look at their practice, questioning familiar habits and trying different approaches.
Runs twice a year, with monthly sessions on Monday evenings, 6-8pm (UK time). Limited to six coaches per cohort.
WORKING WITH ME
We'll look at what actually happens in your coaching.
It's difficult to examine your own coaching while you're busy doing it. You might come away from a session feeling it went brilliantly, or wondering why something didn't quite work, without being entirely sure what made the difference.
That's where mentor coaching comes in. We'll listen to recordings, work with live coaching and look closely at what you're doing, what you're noticing and what you might try differently.
I'll tell you what I see, including the things you might not have noticed yourself. I'll also tell you what's working. The feedback will be direct and specific, but you'll have plenty of support along the way.
I'm an ICF PCC, registered Mentor Coach and ICF Assessor, so I understand the standards you're working towards. But I don't want our work to become an exercise in ticking off competencies. I want you to leave with something you can actually use in your next coaching conversation.
About Kim
One of the things I love about mentoring coaches is seeing what they do with the feedback. We might spend time pulling apart a recording, talking about what worked, what didn't and what else might have been possible. Then they go away, try things out and come back coaching differently. Sometimes the difference in just a few weeks is sheer brilliance.
Some of the most valuable mentoring I've received has come from people willing to stop me in my tracks and say, "Have you actually heard yourself?" It made me stop and think about what I was saying and what I needed to change. I didn't need someone to give me the answers. I needed someone willing to cut through my bullshit.
That's something I've taken into my own mentoring. I don't follow a formula when it comes to feedback. Some coaches need time to explore one particular thing, others are ready to get stuck into quite a lot. I'll share what I notice, what's working and where I think there's more to explore. And I'll want to hear what you make of it, too.
I care about the coaching profession and the coaches I work with. I'm often still checking in on people long after they've achieved their credential, because I'm interested in how they're getting on.
Mentor coaching doesn't have to be dull and serious. It's your time where you can bring anything and everything to the conversation, without worrying about being judged. We can have some pretty challenging conversations and still have a good giggle along the way.
One mentee recently described our work as having "depth" while being "lighthearted... and un-wanky". Another simply said, "you're just so real". That's much better than anything I can write here.
A little about my background
I'm an ICF PCC, registered Mentor Coach and ICF Assessor. I've been coaching senior leaders and executives since 2017, following more than a decade in corporate finance. I've also worked on the faculty of the AoEC Practitioner Diploma, assessed coaching recordings against ICF standards and completed the ICF Mentor Coaching Specialisations for both ACC and PCC.

“I chose Kim for my 10 hours of ACC mentoring as part of my ICF re-accreditation, and I'm so glad I did.
I booked an initial conversation feeling a little jaded and overwhelmed, and genuinely unsure whether I even wanted to go ahead with my renewal. Kim put absolutely no pressure on me to make a decision, one way or another. Instead, she offered a couple of really valuable perspectives that gave me some important things to think about.
I'm particularly grateful for that initial conversation because it gave me the space to reconsider what I wanted from the process and, importantly, who I wanted alongside me for the journey.
I decided to go ahead with my renewal and booked Kim to support me with my mentoring. Our work together has been brilliant. Kim is wise, insightful and thoughtful, and has supported me in exactly the way I needed. We've had some genuinely wonderful conversations about my coaching practice, which have helped me explore new perspectives, question some of my assumptions and consider avenues I might not otherwise have explored.
I've come away from our sessions feeling inspired, encouraged and with plenty to reflect on.
I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Kim to anyone looking for thoughtful, supportive and genuinely valuable mentoring. I'm really pleased our paths crossed."
