Why Choose Hokie Pokie for Play Therapy?

At Hokie Pokie Play Therapy, we use play to help children better understand and manage their emotions, navigate difficult situations, and develop social skills. Through this creative process, children can explore their inner world, communicate issues they might not yet have the words for, and work through challenges at their own pace, all while feeling supported and empowered
At Hokie Pokie, we specialise in play therapy for children aged 3 to 17. Our approach supports emotional growth, healing, and wellbeing by creating a safe, nurturing environment where children can express themselves freely.
