His clinical interests include youth mental health, psychosomatic medicine, occupational mental wellness, and psychodynamic psychotherapy.Dr Teo firmly believes in the importance of fostering a trusting therapeutic relationship with his patients. His approach involves a sensitive exploration of his patients’ values, experiences, relationships and life circumstances to understand the person behind the symptoms. He works collaboratively with patients, their families, and other healthcare professionals to develop holistic, personalised treatment plans that address the biological, psychological, social, and spiritual aspects of his patients’ difficulties. He integrates evidence-based medications and talking therapies tailored to patients’ individual needs and preferences.
