During last Friday evening I received an unexpected and, somewhat, unwanted telephone call from Hampshire Police. The caller, who identified himself as ‘Joshua’, informed me that he had earlier called at my previous home and was, perhaps, surprised to find that I no longer lived there. He proceeded to bumble his way through an explanation for his call, insinuating a pretext to my ‘open letter’ dated 30th April, 2025. Regular readers to my blog will already be aware of that ‘o

BANK HOLIDAY MONDAY, 26TH MAY, 2025. What follows is an account of a day in the life of my mentally ill daughter, Meg and me, her dad and carer. While the events that make up this account are, thankfully, not typical, they are, nevertheless, far too frequent. Meg, is currently under ‘shared care’ at CMHT, The Bridge Centre, a recent decision made following my concerns at her fast deteriorating mental health. A crisis had been developing over several days just prior to the May

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

'The Parliamentary and Health Service Ombudsman ( PHSO ) sits at the apex of the complaints process. It is the only organisation which handles complaints about government bodies and the NHS on behalf of the public. The popular concept of an Ombudsman is that it is a body which protects the citizen from an abuse of power, by holding an authority to account. An ombudsman, ombudsperson, ombud, or public advocate is an official who is charged with representing the

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

I have just sent the following email to the office of Basingstoke MP, Luke Murphy Dear Aideen, Thank you for your email dated 8th May, 2025. I gratefully accept Luke’s kind offer to write to the PHSO to review the concerns that I have raised. I have already forwarded my concerns to various other government agencies including the Health and Social Care Committee ( HSCC ) and the Public Administration and Constitutional Affairs Committee (PACAC). I have previously supplied evid

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

I am now in the process of delivering the following 'Open Letter' to a comprehensive list of addressees and going forward with plans to escalate my protests due to recommence in June this year. ‘OPEN LETTER’ Dated 30th April, 2025 This updates my ‘open letter’ dated 5th March, 2025 THE INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS OPEN LETTER REQUIRES THE SERIOUS ATTENTION OF HAMPSHIRE CONSTABUALRY SOUTHERN HEALTH NHS FOUNDATION TRUST The PARLIAMENTARY HEALTH SERVICE OMBUDSMAN The HEALTH A

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

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.
