Mentor Coaching with Camilla Cesari
One-to-one and group mentor coaching for every stage of your professional coaching journey.
Refine your coaching skills and deepen your alignment with the ICF core competencies
Mentor coaching isn't about being told what you're doing wrong or having your coaching critiqued.
It's about working in partnership with someone who can help you see what you might have missed, help you understand how to leverage your unique strengths, and support you to develop your practice with intention, clarity, and confidence in who you are as a coach.
The focus is always on your craft and your presence: the way you listen, ask questions, hold space, and show up in the coaching relationship. This is practical work, grounded in your real client sessions, and always in service of developing your unique, embodied coaching style (while also being a requirement for your ICF credential).
Beyond the Credential: Benefits of Mentor Coaching
The most tangible benefit of mentor coaching is the hours you'll log towards your ICF credential – and this work has the potential to go much deeper. Through either one-to-one or group mentor coaching sessions, you'll develop a clearer and more grounded sense of who you are as a coach.
Understanding competencies
At ACC & PCC level, gain a clear understanding of the coaching process and core competencies, how to demonstrate them, and how to trust and co-create with clients.
Embodying competencies
At MCC level, cultivate even deeper self-trust and grounding as you begin to embody the coaching competencies, moving from doing to being in your coaching.
Unshakeable confidence
Build confidence that doesn't depend on getting everything “right” – the kind that’s rooted in deep self-trust and a knowing that you can handle uncertainty.
Deep self-awareness
Deepen your sense of how you show up in the coaching space – your strengths, your patterns, and how to become more present and powerful.
Freedom from structure
Move from relying on models and frameworks to trusting your intuition – finding the freedom and creativity inside your coaching.
Personal & professional growth
No matter how experienced and skilled you are as a coach, there is always more to discover. Mentoring keeps you curious, growing, and alive to the work.
More impact with your coaching
As your coaching skills and presence strengthen, the quality of what you offer your clients strengthens too – deeper transformation, more lasting impact.
Whether you're working towards your ACC, PCC, or MCC, mentor coaching not only prepares you thoroughly for your credentialing evaluation but also supports you in your long-term success as a coach.
"I particularly enjoyed working with Camilla to prepare for my MCC certification for several reasons. Firstly, the relationship of trust she established throughout our work together. Secondly, her approach, which was open to sharing and co-creation, and met the high standards of quality and depth required by an MCC practice. Thirdly, her expertise, including precise analysis of my recordings and detailed supervision, which led to a more refined practice aligned with ICF requirements. And, finally, her exceptional presence and unconditional support. I could not have obtained this certification without the quality of the relationship and expertise I had with Camilla! Thank you so much for this MCC guidance."

Mentor Coaching: How You Can Work With Me
I'm a Professional Mentor Coach (PMC) and an ICF-registered mentor coach and assessor, with over 15 years of experience coaching and training coaches internationally.
Not only do I bring MCC-level expertise and a thorough understanding of the credentialing pathway – having supported many coaches to ACC, PCC and MCC – I’m also deeply committed to your personal development, growth and transformation.
Individual (1:1) mentor coaching sessions
Individual mentor coaching is tailored entirely to where you are in your journey – your coaching style, your goals, your credentialing timeline.
We'll meet at whatever frequency you choose. The journey can be pure mentor coaching, or a hybrid approach – with online learning for each of the core competencies and resources to support the aspects of your coaching we’ll be working on together.
Whether you're building towards your ACC, PCC, or MCC, or you’re simply continuing to invest in your development, we'll create a way of working that works for you.
Let's start with a free, no-obligation conversation to explore what you need.
Group mentor coaching sessions (drop-in)
My small group mentor coaching programmes bring together up to 7 coaches for a rich, dynamic, community-driven learning experience. As well as receiving feedback on your own coaching, you'll have the opportunity to observe and reflect on the work of your peers – often giving you a much richer experience than individual sessions.
Group sessions run regularly (you can view upcoming dates here) – simply pay per individual session.

Group mentor coaching journey (on request)
I also run small group mentor coaching journeys with 6-7 participants.
You can either book a set number of sessions with me on behalf of your own group, or I will form a group when there is enough interest. In this case, once a mentor coaching group is created, places will be allocated on a first-come, first-served basis.
If you're interested in joining a mentor coaching group, or if you have your own group already, please register your interest by completing the form at the link below, and I will be in touch shortly.
