Jennifer Wild is a Visiting Professor of Experimental Psychology at the University of Oxford, with an honorary senior lectureship at King’s College London. She specializes in trauma-related psychological disorders, particularly post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and social anxiety disorder. Her research focuses on cognitive processes underlying trauma, developing internet-based cognitive therapy (ICT) interventions, and improving clinician training in evidence-based practices. She leads research initiatives with organizations like the London Ambulance Service to address mental health risks among emergency workers.
Wild holds academic affiliations with the University of Reading, University of Hull, and University of Liverpool as an external examiner. Her work emphasizes translating research into accessible public health strategies, including media engagement to demystify psychological treatments. Key research themes include traumatic memory formation, the role of abstract thinking in PTSD vulnerability, and resilience-building interventions for high-risk professions.
Her publications span cognitive therapy methodologies, emergency service mental health, and grief-related disorders. She advocates for early intervention, emphasizing the transformative potential of video feedback and ICT in addressing negative self-perceptions and trauma symptoms. Collaborative projects with global institutions, such as Hong Kong’s randomized ICT trials, highlight her commitment to scalable mental health solutions.
