ABOUT JOE
I offer coaching services for parents and young people who have different concerns right at their doorstep with privacy and confidentiality. I specialize in coaching parents to overcome their communication issues with their child by creating solutions together with them in the shortest time possible. With my training in social work, coaching and therapy, along with 20 years of fieldwork experience with youth and families, I am confident that I can be of service to you.
Today I’m also the Founder & Director of Ark of Hope Pte Ltd (UEN: 201626178K).

My Theory of Change with Clients (adapted from Steve De Shazer)
This is my theory of change of how I work with my clients in general. The approach is largely influenced by the Solution Focused Approach where I believe that we always need to start with where the client is, and we go in to listen in a very intentional manner for specific areas. And after I picked up the different ideas and processed it, I will then zoom in and work with it according to the goals and outcome of what the client and family is working towards. From here, we will then start to build and create solutions and actionable steps together with the client. At all times, these actions and solutions will come from the client rather than prescribed by me which will then lead to ownership and accountability.
Through my years of working with different youths and parents, I have always found this way of working enjoyable for everyone including myself because its respectful and it also acknowledges the client as the true expert of their situations and life.

3 words that describe my youth experience with Joe.
Joe is a role model and a lifetime mentor to how I’m leading my life today.

Joe is a good listener and I have received a lot of valuable insight from him. He has given a lot of practical feedback, leaving me with something to work on after each session. With his rich experience in youth work, he understands what I am going through and is able to lift my perspective on youth work as a whole!
