Shona Kennedy Bachelor of Science with Honours in Occupational Therapy with Health Ergonomics, Manual Handling Facilitator, Mental Health First Aider, Blue Badge Assessor

Shona Kennedy Occupational Therapy

I specialise in home adaptations and meaningful occupations for adults and older adults living with physical or mental health challenges.​

I have over 14 years experience as a registered Occupational Therapist working within Social Service, the NHS and with charities. Within this time I have completed post graduate courses to increase my knowledge and skills.

I work with individuals facing a wide range of conditions helping them stay safe, independent, and engaged in the activities that matter most. I believe every person deserves to live with dignity and purpose.

My approach is holistic and person-centred. I carry out detailed assessments to understand not just the physical layout of a home, but how it supports (or hinders) someone’s daily life. From recommending adaptive equipment and minor modifications to collaborating on larger-scale renovations, I ensure that every change is tailored to the individual’s goals, routines, and wellbeing.

​I also support clients in rediscovering meaningful occupations—those everyday tasks and hobbies that bring joy, structure, and identity. Whether it's gardening, preparing meals, or reconnecting with creative occupations, I help people adapt their environments and routines so they can continue doing what they love.
