THEORY OF EVERYTHING 'The art therapy sessions # 1' Facts beyond theory: There was a later attempt by CAMHS General Manager, Wanda Reynolds, to suggest that Sally Mungall engaged in ‘Parent Work’ from the onset and that the work gradually turned into something deeper over time. This was not true. I was invited, in writing, by Sally Mungall herself, to attend ‘art therapy’. The first of Sally Mungall’s ‘clinical notes’ states ‘Events 03P Psychodynamic/analytical Therapy. It

I had intended posting the twelfth installment of my ‘Theory of Everything’ by today, the 9th October and completing the entirety of my supposition seeking to explain what happened to me during ‘art therapy’ with Sally Mungall between September and December, 2021, within three remaining posts. I have cause to reschedule this work for the following reasons. I have just received a letter from the Community Mental Health Team at the Bridge Centre inviting me to an appointment wi

I may write about my recent trip to Faversham in a later post. Returning to my childhood haunt for the first time in over fifty-five years was both cathartic and revelatory. My memories have been recalibrated, which I was expecting but entirely new ones leapt out of cracks in pavements and sprang like ambushing predators from the shadows. And now everything seems psychologically altered. There were two particularly frustrating emails waiting for me when I got back home. The f

ADJOURNMENT I will not be making any entries to this blog for up to two weeks. For the last several months I have been looking for a break and some time to myself. I mulled over the possibility of resuming my walk from April, 2022 and seriously considered not returning. I still feel I have unfinished business somewhere along the 630 miles of the South West Coast Path. Maybe I’ll return there in April 2027 with little more than a single-man tent and my unfulfilled yearning to

Published below is yet another letter written to Hampshire Constabulary. Coincidently, I received a response from the Independent Office for Police Conduct at the same time. I note, without real surprise, the IOPC apology for delay in respondiing to my letter of enquiry first issued on the 23rd of July. 2026. The IOPC is currently experiencing a high volume of enquiries. A second response from them today confirmed 'We are receiving a high number of emails, and we aim to resp

Earlier today, I sent a letter to William Rodway, Investigation Team Manager - Investigations, Fitness to Practise at the Health and Care Professions Council. This letter, in response, to further information about my 'fitness to practice' complaint about registrant Sally Mungall, runs to almost 3900 words. I am publishing it here, to my blog, in three parts over the next five days. In the meantime I will be working on a pilot of my documentary that starts filming later this m

SOME IMPORTANT UPDATES Anniversary Today is notable, the fifth anniversary of my first meeting with CAMHS ‘art therapist’, Sally Mungall. That meeting and the resulting 'art therapy' remains the epicentre of my enduring mental health crisis. Hampshire Constabulary I have made several formal complaints to Hampshire Constabulary this year, including an ‘OPEN LETTER’ directly addressed to Alexis Boon QPM, the Chief Constable of Hampshire & Isle of Wight Constabulary on the 1

‘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.
