Catherine Coffey

Apple Tree’s virtual clinic administrator

I am the first person you will talk to at Apple Tree. I’ll take you through the initial steps to getting your child the support that is right for them. I offer a friendly ear to listen to you and understand why you’ve approached Apple Tree. I’m happy to help with any queries you may have, however big or small. If there is a question I don’t know the answer to I will refer back to one of our therapists. I’ll be the one to set up your first assessment and also the one to come to with any invoicing enquiries.

I set aside my career in project management to focus more on family and my work at Apple Tree fits flexibly around my two children and their school schedules.

Here at Apple Tree we try to get back to new enquires within 48 working hours. Please bear with me if it sometimes takes a little longer as I work part-time. Messages are checked regularly and I will reply as soon as I can.

I love the relationships I get to build with parents and I think there is something rather special about what we do at Apple Tree . We truly care and want the best for you and your child.
