Tennent (Shaun) Tampiyappa

Dr. Tennent (Shaun) Tampiyappa graduated from King’s College London in 1994 and did his psychiatric training at the Royal Free Hospital, London. He has been working as a Consultant Psychiatrist since 2003, the last ten years of which have been in Melbourne.

Dr. Tampiyappa seeks to understand the person in multiple perspectives; biological, social, cultural and psycho-dynamically. He is very interested in reviewing psychiatric diagnosis and treatment as he is concerned about the impact of iatrogenesis and can give advice in even the most complicated situations. Dr Tampiyappa is very intuitive, responsive, and helpful in guiding patients through treatment and ascertaining the most suitable course of action. He is also instrumental in de-prescribing patients who may not need to be on long-term medication.
