Your Career, Built Around Your Reality
Working with a long-term health condition means navigating challenges that standard career advice simply doesn't address. You're managing energy limits, weighing disclosure decisions, requesting adjustments, and trying to progress, all at the same time.
My coaching is built around what actually works. I've spent 20 years in HR and built my own career while managing a chronic health condition, so you get practical strategies that have been tested in real life, not textbook theory.
Energy Management - Practical frameworks to sustain high performance without the boom-bust cycle, so you stop pushing through and start working smarter.
Disclosure & Adjustments - Clear guidance on when, whether, and how to disclose and how to request adjustments that actually get agreed and implemented.
Career Progression - A realistic plan that factors in your health without writing off your ambitions, built around your actual life, not a hypothetical one.
Confidence & Advocacy - The skills to have difficult workplace conversations, ask for what you need, and navigate performance or absence processes without fear.
Working with a long-term health condition means navigating unique challenges that traditional career advice doesn't address. You're managing energy limits, disclosure decisions, workplace adjustments, and career advancement, all while trying to maintain your health.
You don't need to push through. You need practical strategies that work with your reality, not against it.

Real Stories, Real Impact: Testimonials
Here’s how I’ve been able to make a difference—straight from the people I’ve worked with
Christina M
Being coached by Imelda enabled me to be validated for my current health situation. I felt valued and understood. This enabled me to carry out the tasks involved in our work together. Imelda clearly fed back my thinking to me which gives me great clarity. I came away with a set vision for the next 6 months.
Sarah T
The sessions with Imelda have enabled me to explore future career options in more detail and get a stronger sense of my strengths, weaknesses and values. This has been very helpful to me as I now have a clearer vision of what I would like to do next and the steps I need to take to get there (including increasing my confidence!) Imelda has been very good at listening and understanding the areas in my life where I needed to make changes and asking questions which got me thinking about different possibilities. She has helped me gain a sense of clarity around my goals which I didn’t previously have before. Thank you.

Imelda is a very friendly and approachable coach. She helps you see the bigger picture, especially when you feel stressed and overwhelmed with work and life generally. She brings structure and helps you focus on what you want to focus on. She is also very good at providing support and motivation. One of the biggest things I struggled with was confidence and Imelda helped me believe in myself and the process and I am pleased to say that I am now thriving in my role.
