My medical records, disclosed by Southern Health on the 15th June, 2022, had revealed a murder of co-conspirators engaged in stratagems motivated by a wish to avoid professional culpability and so frame a false narrative. I had been appalled to read an entry by CMHT Meadows Service Manager, Vicky Long, made shortly after my second mental health assessment in April. Vicky Long instructed my assessor, Laura Jones, to reach out to CAMHS, Brambly’s Drive to inform them that I was

I had stumbled through the beginning of the summer of 2022 like a man trying to wake up from a bad dream. The harder I struggled to make sense of the appalling revelations of my disclosed medical records, the more I became stuck. It were as though I were caught in quicksand. I was in desperate need of explanations but there was only one person available to me with authority on the facts: Wanda Reynolds. I continued to pepper her inbox with questions. In the me

24th June, 2022. ‘I am very conscious that accessing your records may lead you to want to add to your existing complaint and you have sent a few emails to me and Wanda with further new concerns. There is an option for us to pause and allow you to add any other issues to the complaint so it can be dealt with in one report. This will mean your concerns can then be addressed clearly rather than lots of different emails that can get lost and not responded to. Please let me know i

24th June, 2022. Vicky Long and Wanda Reynolds continued to conspire with each other until the events of the 25th September, 2022 but it took me several long weeks to realise that I was still being covertly monitored and likely misrepresented by both of these managers. I had immediately complained about the misrepresentation of me in my medical records disclosed by Sothern Health on the 15th June, 2022. Vicky Long replied ‘From: Long, Vicky ******************************** S

While I was somewhat reassured by the acceptance into Basingstoke Counselling Service I knew that I was still in the middle of a swamp. I was up to my neck in a quagmire of issues and convinced that I needed urgent, psychotherapuetic intervetion Isobel, my newly appointed counsellor was much appreciated but I knew enough about therapy to know that counselling is very different to psychotherapy. There are many ways of working or modalities in counselling and psychotherapy. The

Isobel Brooks was the perfect therapeutic counterpoint to Sally Mungall. It is common for different types of psychologists and therapists to develop an eclectic toolbox of skills that draw from different modalities and Isobel’s approach was almost diametrically opposed to Sally’s. My therapy with Sally Mungall had been destabilising, dissolving of boundaries and dismissive of rules. Isobel, on the other hand, was cautious and erred toward restraint. I believe Isobel was r

Basingstoke Counselling Services are a mental health charity that provides affordable counselling in Basingstoke and the surrounding areas, working with many healthcare professionals and organisations across the wider community to help provide mental health support. I first applied to BCS for counselling sometime during the beginning of January, 2022 following the rapid decline of my mental health over the Christmas holidays. My discussion with Bill from the Crisis Resolution

My first draft of this particular post started with ‘the partial disclosure of my medical records, first by Southern Health on the 15th June, 2022 and then by the Sussex Partnership on the 22nd June, 2022 had caught me completely off-guard.’ I re-read the start of that first draft many times and found ‘caught me completely off-guard’ to be a serious understatement, the idiom grossly inadequate. Is there a suitable idiom? The revelations detailed in the partial disclosure of m

My access to records request made to Information Governance at the Sussex Partnership NHS Foundation Trust was finally, though only partially, disclosed to me on the 21st June, 2022. The records disclosed were sparce and redacted. Much of the information had already been revealed in the more comprehensive disclosure by Southern Health NHS Foundation Trust on the 15th June, 2022 though parts of the record redacted by IG at SPFT was left unredacted by SHFT. I will therefore not

15TH June 2022. Wanda Reynolds answered my SOS quickly. I arranged to speak to her first thing that afternoon, deciding to take her telephone call well out of earshot of my daughter. Meg had drifted back into her Sirtraline induced hibernation but my emotions were running high and I anticipated a potentially loud and emotionally distressing conversation. Better to take a walk and find a quiet place outdoors. The afternoon was incongruently bright, blue and sunny, a mismatch

The following is the remaining breakdown of my medical records partially disclosed by Southern Health NHS Foundation Trust on the 15th June, 2022. This part covers pages 9 to 21out of 32 'Progress Notes' and focuses on the MISREPRESENTATION of me and the FALSE ACCUSATIONS and LIES levelled at me, primarily by CAMHS art therapist, Sally Mungall and accepted, without question, by clinicians at CMHT the Bridge Centre and CRHTT Basingstoke.

The following is the beginning of a breakdown of my medical records partially disclosed by Southern Health NHS Foundation Trust on the 15 June, 2022 along with rebuttals to the multiple falsehoods, deceptions, misquotes and outright lies contained in those same records. Introduction A decision was made to combine my grievances against CAMHS, Bramblys Drive, Basingstoke and CMHT, the Bridge Centre into a joint complaint and give oversight to CAMHS General Manager, Wanda Reynol

Access to Records Single words leapt out of the pages of my medical records like lobbed concussion grenades, words such as ‘obsessional’, ‘fixated’, ‘risk’ and ‘stalking’ aimed squarely at me. There were other words that I skimmed across, barbed arrows of accusation, fletched with my name, nocked and ready. I was somewhere between dumb-founded and shellshocked. 15th June, 2022 My access to records request was my concerted effort to bring order to chaos, to find explanation
