About
Cave Therapy
Pleasure to meet you...
My name is Simmy Cave
I am a dedicated Psycho-Spiritual Psychotherapist whose passion for spirituality is rooted in an openness and acceptance toward all spiritual paths and beliefs. I have foundational training in psychotherapy from London and further completed a BSc (Hons) in Counselling & Psychotherapy in the West Midlands, with a particular focus on humanistic therapies – a type of talking therapy that focuses on helping people develop a healthy sense of self, find meaning, and live more fulfilling lives. It's based on the idea that everyone has the potential to find their inner wisdom and that people are inherently good. As a registered member of the British Association of Psychotherapy, I am committed to maintaining the highest standards in my practice, and I abide by their ethical framework.
I am a proud, openly gay man. I am passionate about supporting the healing of my LGBTQIA+ community and working from an affirmative, empowering position when working with gender and sexual relationship diversity.
In addition to my clinical work, I teach Counselling and Psychotherapy at the University level, sharing my knowledge and experience with the next generation of therapists. My journey began with a clinical focus on addiction, which sparked a deeper exploration into the impact of trauma and research into the present understanding of trauma and neuroscience. This path led me to work with an organisation supporting survivors of sexual abuse, where I developed a further trauma-informed approach to my work.
I am also a Usui/Holy Fire® III Reiki Master, having been a practitioner of Reiki since 2012. Reiki is a holistic healing practice that involves the transfer of universal life energy to promote relaxation, balance, and overall well-being. I believe that the integration of Reiki and energy healing can significantly benefit psychotherapy clients. By incorporating these practices, I help clients release emotional blockages and promote a sense of balance and well-being. Currently, I am undertaking a two-year training in psycho-spiritual psychotherapy, further enriching my approach and offering profound benefits for those navigating their healing journeys. Through my work, I continue to expand my understanding of trauma, helping survivors find their path to recovery and empowerment.

Connection...
The therapeutic relationship is a cornerstone of effective therapy and is crucial in achieving positive outcomes. When clients feel understood, supported, and valued, they are more likely to engage in the process and explore their thoughts and feelings openly. Incorporating spiritual and energy work can further facilitate this connection, as it helps to align and balance emotional and energetic states. This holistic approach fosters trust and safety, allowing for deeper exploration and healing, ultimately leading to transformative changes and a more fulfilling life. Establishing a safe, trusting relationship is an important aspect of my process. It is important that we both agree from the outset, that we feel there is the potential for a working relationship grounded in these principles. As such, please feel free to contact me to arrange a free 15 minute call, where we can get a sense for the potentials of our working relationship. I look forward to hearing from you!
