Dr. Laura Watson

Laura is a mum of three children, from pre-teens to teens. She is passionate about encouraging real life activities and interactions over screen time, and is well versed in these conversations within her own family.

As a GP working in a deprived area of Southampton, Laura has first hand experience of young adults who have grown up in the smartphone era, many of whom struggle with low mood, social isolation, problematic screen use, gambling and substance addictions, and have few meaningful real-world friendships.

Laura loves reading, running, walking the dog, being in nature, spending time with friends and family. She believes that every child growing up should be able to thrive happily in the real world for as long as possible, whilst learning to navigate the digital world safely.
