Welcome to My Heartfelt Coach.

I help people who hate their job and feel stuck to get unstuck and start to shine again.

Being stuck at work is soul-destroying. If it goes on for too long it can seriously affect your confidence, your ability to fully enjoy other parts of your life, your sense of identity and have a long-term impact your mental health.

That’s where I come in. When you are stuck at work, you need someone who is professionally trained in your corner to help figure stuff out. Things are unlikely to change unless you take the first step and I’m here to help you take those steps. Don’t let things fester and get worse.

This is my heart’s work because I‘ve had several really painful and difficult work situations to deal with.

I was made redundant from my first job after graduating. It was due to a new boss deciding to put a new structure in place.  But my role was the only one impacted. So, it was very isolating.  And I felt very rejected.

At another point in my careeer, I was sacked during my end of year review - without any indication of what was coming. I had to pack up my things in front of members of my team and be escorted of the premises on the same day. Never to return.

And in another role I had a very toxic stakeholder group to work with - and it really took its toll on me.  I took it all on as mine to fix and tried harder and harder. I could not find a way to work through it and it was seriously affecting my mental health. Eventually I resigned.  

With a coach alongside me, I am certain I would have made different decisions. And I definitely would not have endured so much painful rumination and self-doubt. 

I am now able to offer others something that I wish I’d had; support, reassurance and perspective.

You are in the right place if you:

  • … are lacking motivation at work

  • … have a difficult work decision to make

  • … are struggling with a key work relationship

  • … are facing a reorganisation or redundancy situation

  • … are feeling overwhelmed by organisation politics

Hi, I’m Alison Quest and I set up My Heartfelt Coach to specialise in supporting people through difficult times at work.

I am an ICF accredited, professional coach, with 20 years’ coaching experience and many more years of experience both working inside large organisations and as a management consultant.

I coach with kindness. And I believe this is at the heart of doing good work together. But I have also built up some really helpful tools that we can use as you move from “oh-no” to “ah-ha”.

With me as your coach, you’ll move from stuck to unstuck in ways that make complete sense to you and at a pace that’s set by you  

Why work with me?

“You were brilliant and had a big impact on me at a challenging time and helped me see a better way forward. Thanks for everything!”
