About
Ms Rachel Kennedy is a Clinical Specialist Speech and Language Therapist with a diverse background and experience from Ireland, Canada, and England. She now runs her own practice and consultancy from Lunar Clinic, in Greystones, Co. Wicklow.
Rachel has over a decade of experience supporting both children and adults with communication and swallowing needs, drawing on training and clinical exposure from almost every setting, health condition, and age group. Her skill is in cross-application of ideologies, approaches and combinations of perspectives in order to produce more holistic assessments and therapies.
Rachel holds an MSc in Speech and Language Therapy from the University of Limerick and a BA in English Literature and Classical Civilisation from Trinity College Dublin. Her specialist areas include: communication and feeding disorders arising from mental health and neurodivergence; acquired brain injury; neuroprogressive conditions; complex communication needs, dysphagia including advanced competencies in videofluoroscopy, fibreoptic endoscopy and trache management, and the emotional landscape surrounding anxiety, trauma, demand avoidance and school or work-based challenges arising from communication breakdowns. She also has specialist skill sets from oncology, acute and intensive care work .
Her approach is neurodiversity-informed, detail-oriented and grounded in empathy. Rachel creates a calm, low-pressure space where individuals and families feel understood and supported, using evidence-based practice alongside relational, regulation-focused and trauma-informed care. She works collaboratively with parents, carers and teams to build clear, compassionate formulations and tailored interventions that honour each person’s sensory profile, strengths, health context and lived experience.
