This is probably my biggest post to my blog. I have just been prompted to complete contact forms in order to raise concerns with the Prime Minister, Andy Burnham, about the Parliamentary Health Service Ombudsman. Wix advises this post is a 101 minute read and I don't expect the casual reader will read the entirety of the entry. The document published below is, ostensibly, for the eyes of the Prime Minister. It covers much of the material I submitted to the Parliamentary Healt

In my last post of LATEST ISSUES I published the opening paragraphs of the document 'APPEAL FOR THE LEGISLATIVE REFORM OF THE PARLIAMENTARY HEALTH SERVICE OMBUDSMAN' which was addressed and sent to the members of the Public Administration and Constitutional Affairs Committee last Monday.

I have drafted a document to the members of the Public Administration and Constitutional Affairs Committee appealing for urgent legislative reform of the Parliamentary Health Service Ombudsman. In its 2022 report the Committee called for the Government to prioritise Ombudsman reform and introduce a Bill before the end of the current Parliament. The Government responded by stating it ‘is not convinced that fundamental reform is a priority at the current time, nor that legislat

A Theory of Everything # 8 'the Aura of Disgust'
It wasn’t until long after the ‘art therapy’ sessions had ended that I truly understand that I had been abused by Sally Mungall. I arrived at this conclusion during my SEVENTY-TWO sessions at Basingstoke Counselling Services with psychotherapist, Isobel Brooks and then much later following extended sessions with Mid-North Hants Psychological Services Cognitive Analytical Therapist, Jackie Preston. Incredibly, Sally Mungall herself actually broached the subject of abuse during

A Theory of Everything # 7 'PeekaBoo'
In the previous post to ‘A Theory of Everything’ I began to explain the extraordinary effect that Sally Mungall’s use of Covid 19 face masks had on the therapeutic relationship. In later posts I will expand upon this, going into further detail about the adverse influence those masks had on my own psychological transference. The word ‘mask’ comes from the Middle French, ‘masque’ which means "covering to hide or guard the face". There are, generally, two types of masks. The f

Earlier this year I joined an online dating site. I did this in the spirit of the advice suggested to me by the psychotherapists who have tried to help me over the last four to five years. The words of consultant clinical psychologist, Viv Cowdrill, were still in my head, insistently reminding me to ‘accept’ the bad things that have happened and to move on with my life. My Cognitive Analytical Therapist, Dr Jackie Preston’s parting professional opinion was that I should take
