The UK’s leading psychiatrists and psychologists providing services in Cardiff and South Wales.

Ahed Therapies was established and is led by Dr. Alastair Clarke – Walker. Alastair established his first clinic in Cardiff  where his respected mental health services were in great demand.

Both prescribed medicines and psychological interventions are potentially available depending upon the individuals needs.

We look at the whole person thus the term a holistic approach in an individualised tailored fashion. A psychiatrist can prescribe medications but psychologists cannot. As a part of the training of psychiatrists their initial training starts by attending medical school. After medical school a period of basic medical training takes place then the medical doctor has a full licence which allows them to choose a particular career path. In our psychiatrists case – Dr Clarke-Walker’s – he undertook a variety of medical posts including accident and emergency positions rather than choosing psychiatry as a speciality. After this he then specialised in psychiatry training. From the start of medical school to completing his training to become a consultant psychiatrist has taken over 18 years. Prior to this he had attended a school of pharmacy and graduated as  Pharmacologist (i.e. the study of how medications function).
