Read about Dr Liz’s client experiences using this approach:

"Parkinson’s is a cruel illness. Often, others notice the changes before you do. You don’t get the choice of privacy—it’s not something you can hide. And it doesn’t just affect you—it deeply impacts the people you love. For me, Parkinson’s took away my sense of privacy and control. It felt like a downward spiral. What’s different about Dr. Liz and her Sensitive Approach is the compassion, which gently interrupts that spiral. It offers a more hopeful path forward—with kindness, support, understanding, and practical tools to help improve your quality of life from the inside out.”

PD client, diagnosed 5 years ago

"Being referred to Dr. Liz for SSP to support my Parkinson’s was one of the most important and meaningful moments of my life. Working with her has been truly precious.”

PD client, diagnosed 10 years ago

"I believe the combination of SSP with a Sensitive Approach has been key to the improvement in my symptoms, especially with my history of complex trauma. Being able to trust while being seen and feeling safe was—and still is—crucial for me. That’s why the way the SSP provider interacts with me as a client is, in my view, incredibly important.”

Client living with Parkinson’s and complex trauma

"So many approaches tell you to ‘fight’ Parkinson’s—pushing, forcing, marching on. But that only tightens your body, drains your tolerance and keeps you stuck in trying to get back to who you used to be. This approach is different. It offers understanding, and space to acknowledge both the loss and the grief. You're encouraged to be kind to yourself, to honour the frustration, and to keep going—not with a battle cry, but with quiet resolve and persistence. It’s not about denial—it’s about investing your time and energy in what’s possible now, with curiosity, compassion, and courage. This approach turned my struggle into an unexpected adventure.”
