The online world is here to stay. We can run from it or we can look to make the most of our time spent there. I created lucy_howard_online because I want to help support and empower you in using the online world to make a positive impact on your life and improve your "Online Wellbeing". By being aware of the risks and being well educated and informed we can move forward with the best digital footprint of ourselves possible. This website is for you if you are looking for hints and tips in achieving this. Welcome!

My focus is to help you to use the online world in ways that work for you, and support you in staying safe online.

I offer a range of virtual consultations and practical advice on how we can use our digital devices and apps in safe and secure ways to protect both ourselves and our children from risk and reduce the incidence of online bullying (cyberbullying). Our digital footprint lasts forever.

I have a keen interest in the impact of both social media and online gaming on mental health. This includes body image, anxiety, self esteem and how we can look to prevent online gaming disorder in our children and young people.
