She is affiliated with the Bath Centre for Mindfulness and Compassion and the Addiction and Mental Health Group (AIM). Her external roles include Clinical Psychologist at Avon and Wiltshire Mental Health Partnership NHS Trust (2020-2023) and Honorary Researcher at King's College London (2018-2021).
Education includes a Doctor of Philosophy in Mindfulness-Based Crisis Interventions (MBCI) for psychosis from King's College London (2015-2017, awarded April 2018), a Doctor of Clinical Psychology from King's College London (2005-2008), and a Bachelor of Arts in Experimental Psychology from the University of Oxford (2001-2004).
Her research focuses on psychological therapies for psychosis, particularly Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and mindfulness in acute psychiatric settings. She also explores the intersection of mental health and addiction, including smoking cessation integration within routine care. Key themes include digital therapeutic tools (e.g., STOP app for paranoia), housing instability impacts on mental health, and optimizing therapy outcomes through clinician and patient perspectives.
Her recent work highlights trends in app-based interventions, feasibility trials, and mixed-methods approaches to assess treatment efficacy. She emphasizes co-production in mental health research and adherence to regulatory standards in clinical trials.
Grants include funding from NIHR, Cancer Research UK, and the MRC for projects on mental health interventions, smoking cessation, and cognitive bias modification. She actively participates in academic conferences, delivering keynote presentations and contributing to panel discussions on digital health and psychosis care.
Jacobsen collaborates with interdisciplinary teams and has created datasets for studies on inpatient therapy outcomes and voice-hearing experiences, ensuring transparency and reproducibility in research.
