Dr Larkin is a Consultant Clinical Psychologist and in addition to his clinical work with people experiencing psychosis and trauma, he has remained an active lecturer and researcher holding many honorary academic positions.
Prior to founding Warren Larkin Associates in 2017, Warren spent 24 years in the NHS, working predominantly with individuals and families experiencing serious mental health difficulties. He has a long-standing interest in the relationships between childhood adversity and outcomes later in life and has published numerous research articles.
Currently Warren is co-leading the implementation of trauma informed approaches in 100 secondary schools in England, which is being evaluated by means of a randomised controlled trial funded by the Youth Endowment Fund and the Home Office. His 25 years as a therapist for people and families navigating psychosis and trauma has now led him to focus predominantly on applying trauma theory to organisations and systems.
He is also writing a book about trauma, adversity, and resilience and why we urgently need to focus on prevention in order to improve health and wellbeing for future generations.
