Career Coaching for Professionals
with Long-Term Health Conditions
Not generic career coaching. Something more specific.
Most career coaches haven't sat in the HR meetings where disclosure decisions get discussed. They haven't seen how adjustment requests are handled behind closed doors. And they haven't personally navigated a return to work while managing a chronic condition.
I have, on both sides.
I spent 20 years in HR, becoming a coach. I'm CIPD Chartered and ILM qualified. And I've built my own career while managing a long-term health condition, which means I understand the calculations you're making that nobody else sees.
You'll get practical tools and honest coaching grounded in how workplaces actually work, not how they're supposed to work.
What coaching covers.
Energy Management Practical frameworks to sustain performance without the boom-bust cycle. Stop pushing through. Start working smarter.
Disclosure & Adjustments When to disclose, how to phrase it, and how to request adjustments in a way that gets them agreed, not just acknowledged.
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.
Return to Work Practical preparation for returning after absence, managing the conversation, setting boundaries, and rebuilding your confidence.

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.
