FOUR AND TWENTY DEAD CROWS TABLE OF CONTENTS FOUR AND TWENTY DEAD CROWS #1 'Emergency!' Published Aug 19, 2024 My daughter, Meg, is first admitted into CAMHS services after more than two years on a waiting list and we are introduced to Mark Birbeck who is appointed as her psychotherapist.

‘When the animus dominates a woman, it can distort her judgment and oppress her inner life.’ - https://jungianalchemist.substack.com/p/how-to-free-yourself-from-the-possession-6f9 ‘You wouldn’t like me in real life because I can be a real bitch.’ Those are Sally Mungall’s own words addressed to me during one particular session of ‘art therapy’ around November 2021. Maybe she wanted to make herself seem less attractive, perhaps to moderate my strong feelings towards her. Mayb

After almost FOUR YEARS since first submitting a ‘fitness to practice’ to The Health and Care Professions Council regarding their registrant, Sally Mungall, I finally received written notification of a decision made by their Investigating Committee earlier this afternoon.

The abandonment of ‘Cecilia’ wasn’t just my failure. It was also an opportunity missed by my mother. It was my mother who I enlisted to open the door to a rape victim and it was my mother who dismissed a rape victim, ostensibly to save me from feeling uncomfortable and from doing a difficult thing. My mother, who had been the victim of an almost identical violation. When my mother closed the door on Cecilia, the victim of repeated, familial sexual abuse, she also closed the d

There is another name I should include in my Theory of Everything, a name that belongs to a story of sweet romance cruelly deformed, over time, by sadness and regret, an anecdote with a sharp point from my late teenage years. ‘Cecillia’ is not her real name but it is an appropriate alias. 'Cecilia' has a connection to her real name but one that would be really difficult to ‘back-engineer’. I have a particularly vested interest in preserving her anonymity, the reasons for whic

These are the latest emails detailing the recent rescheduling updates of the Health and Care Professions Council investigation of the concerns into their registrant, Sally L Mungall's fitness to practice. Almost four years have passed since I made my original complaint and the Investigating Committee Panel of the HCPC hasn't even considered the case.

This is probably the longest post to my blog. I have just been prompted to complete contact forms in order to raise concerns with the Prime Minister about the Parliamentary Health Service Ombudsman. Wix advises this post is a 102 minute read and I don't expect the casual reader will read the entirety of the entry. The document, 'APPEAL FOR THE LEGISLATIVE REFORM OF THE PARLIAMENTARY HEALTH SERVICE OMBUDSMAN', published below is, ostensibly, for the eyes of the Prime Minister

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. The substantive part of that document is an account of my experiences with CAMHS, Bramblys Drive, Basingstoke and the wider Sussex Partnership NHS Foundation Trust, detailing appalling clinic

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

The following was sent to Basingstoke MP, Luke Murphy's office, this afternoon. 'Dear Tracey, Thank you for your email and the attached 'PACAC PHSO' document. I am disappointed by your decision to close this case, especially with consideration to recommendation 9 on page 9 under 'Appendix 1: Parliamentary and Health Service Ombudsman response' of the same 'PACAC PHSO' document you attached. ' 9. We renew our call for legislative reform of the PHSO, the principle of whi

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

The following is a draft letter intended for the IOPC later today. I will also forward this to a new list of solicitors over the coming weekend. I wrote to your office on the 7th April 2026 to complain about Hampshire Constabulary and their involvement in the contentious referral of me to counter-terrorism PREVENT in June, 2025. Nine long weeks slipped inexorably by but I heard nothing from Hampshire Constabulary. I wrote to you again on the 12th June, 2026, making the same c

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

I received the following email from the HCPC this morning. If the relisting remains unaltered and the Investigation Panel don't consider my complaint until the 7th September, 2026 then this HCPC 'fitness to practice' fiasco looks set to stumble into it's FIFTH YEAR with no apparent progress.

LEGAL REPRESENTATION UPDATE By the end of the 11th July, 2026 I had contacted 185 solicitors asking for legal representation over a multitude of legal issues related to my experiences with the SUSSEX PARTNERSHIP NHS FOUNDATION TRUST, HAMPSHIRE & IOW CONSTABULARY and HAMPSHIRE & IOW HEALTHCARE NHS FOUNDATION TRUST. That enquiry was made using the blanket letter first published here at https://www.fourandtwentydeadcrows.com/post/latest-issues-11th-june-2026. To date I have rece

The ‘Project’. I have, for more than a year, been making references to a creative ‘project’ designed to create widespread public awareness of the issues raised in this blog.

The continued formulation of my 'theory of everything' in an effort to understand what happened to me while under the therapeutic supervision of CAMHS art therapist, Sally Mungall between September and December, 2021.

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

UPDATE ON THE LETTER TO SOLICITORS AND THE NATIONAL PRESS On the 11th June, 2026 I gave readers a sneak preview of a written appeal addressed to solicitors, to the national press and television agencies throughout the country. I already have some experience of the legal system in this country and the way the judiciary works, or doesn’t. I wrote to around 176 legal firms towards the end of 2023 seeking assistance with addressing my grievances at CAMHS, Bramblys Drive, Basingst
