When I started working with Daniel, I was in a very dark place as a result of being crippled by my OCD and house bound. After different therapies which had given no results, I was initially a bit skeptical about whether mental health counseling could help me. Daniel importantly gave me an understanding of the cycle of the disorder so that I could grasp what fuels it, as no one had previously given me this psycho-education. In addition to having knowledge about different disorders and psychological conditions, Daniel is genuinely empathetic, caring, and non-judgemental. He really is a natural at making you feel safe to open up about your psychological struggles, which is so helpful when struggling, especially when there is a lot of shame. This gave me the confidence and necessary support to start getting my life back from the disorder. Thank you so much Daniel!

I started counselling with Daniel Segal several years ago to treat my chemical and food sensitivities and I was doing desensitizing therapy for these problems. The therapy worked. I was afraid to try to get close to foods and substances that had given me reactions for years. Daniel has been a blessing to my life, he helped me analyse and face my fears. I finally managed to overcome many of my problems with food and chemicals. I still remember my tears of happiness when I managed to eat a peach or drink a coffee without having any more reactions. Daniel has given me the right tools to be able to take back my life, now thanks to him I can do things that I couldn't do before, and I am infinitely grateful to him. I think he is a special person, his approach is sometimes out of the box, but he always makes you feel at ease, he is always smiling, helpful and respectful. He never bored me during the sessions, and I think this is his winning formula.

I had seen numerous therapists for the same issue and nothing really seemed to help me. It would feel like a rant, and I would leave the session a little lighter. Therapy with Daniel was totally different! Daniel is easy to talk to and what I love (or hate sometimes!) is that he isn’t afraid of being blunt and honest - which really is the only way to make progress. In months I made progress I hadn’t made in years. After sessions with Daniel, I always found there were things to think about and reflect on. He set me tasks and was on my case but I felt supported the whole time. Daniel knows just by your body language what you're feeling and will prod for more info. I have recommended him to family and friends as I really think he is the best therapist. Daniel has changed my life and the way I see things, and I will forever be grateful.

Some may say it's sad, and a testament to the US healthcare system that I had to connect with Daniel in London, all the way from Sunny California just to find someone who specializes in chronic illness. Although our healthcare system is utterly questionable, connecting with Daniel has also been a complete gift. As a licensed psychotherapist myself, the chronic illness-informed pool is quite small, and many of us know of each other, or charge far too much. Not to mention, I don't have the time or the capacity to provide subtitles to someone who just doesn't get it. Daniel understands so many diagnoses, and if he doesn't, he will do the research and leg work for you. I personally see him for mould, MCAS, POTS, Lyme, bartonella, and a long list of other diagnoses. He is awesome, beyond understanding, compassionate, sweet, affordable, FLEXIBLE (he understands if you're too ill to meet... and won't charge you for it... what a concept), and effective. I've referred many his way, even without chronic illness, because he's just that good. Thank you, Daniel!

From my first session with Daniel, I felt comfortable and at ease. Daniel was recommended to me for his counselling background, and in particular, his understanding of chronic illness. He has a good knowledge of CFS/ME and how this condition can affect different areas of your life. Having suffered with this illness for a few years, I knew I needed support to tackle the psychological/mental aspects of the condition, as well as the physical. We have worked on anxiety strategies and CFS/ME strategies such as pacing, scheduling and prioritising- all of which are helping me towards my recovery. I really like the way Daniel sets ‘homework’ to practise these strategies further in everyday life. He often checks in between sessions to make sure I am doing well and keeping on track. After several sessions with Daniel, I am now feeling more confident again and I’m stronger- both physically and mentally. I would highly recommend him to others.

Having a chronic illness can be tricky because oftentimes the physical side gets neglected by many doctors and in an attempt to find treatment, we as patients neglect the mental aspects in an effort to be taken seriously or simply being busy with everything else. After years of not feeling understood by therapists and the medical community, I decided to seek out Daniel for his long-term experience with chronic illness. The Counselling has helped me find acceptance and work on feeling hopeful about my future. I’m very glad I reached out for help and figure out strategies to claim parts of my life back, noticing and truly appreciating progress, better deal with moments of setback as well as finding strength within myself to work on both long-term and medical trauma. It’s been a huge support system to have an experienced guide in this.
