About Elaine Corrigan - Play Therapy North East
Elaine Corrigan is a child-centred play therapist offering trauma-informed therapeutic support to children, young people and their families. A registered member of the British Association of Play Therapists (BAPT) and the NMC (Nursing and Midwifery Council), Elaine brings a wealth of experience in helping young people process difficult emotions and experiences through play and creative therapy.

Her approach is grounded in trauma-informed practice, creating safe, child-led environments where healing can take place.
Beyond direct work with children, Elaine offers consultation and supervision for professionals, drawing on her background as a parent-infant therapist. She also provides child-parent therapy, supporting caregivers and families working through relational difficulties together.
