FOREST of Dean MP Matt Bishop has pledged to bring local services together to improve mental health support for young people following a visit to a Cinderford therapy centre.

Mr Bishop met play therapist Ian Broady at The Spiral Tree on Monday, August 4 to hear about his work with children and families across Gloucestershire.

With more than 25 years’ experience, Ian helps children express emotions and rebuild relationships through play therapy and workshops.

Mr Bishop said: “It was great to visit The Spiral Tree and hear about Ian’s vital work. I’ll be arranging discussions between local services to look at how we can strengthen support for young people.”
