Bio

Hello, my name is Lea and I'm a new listener from the UK. I see myself as a natural, genuine and supportive person and always willing to help those in need of an ear, which encouraged me to sign up as a listener and share those skills.

The issues I specialise in are those I have the most personal experiences with, these are problems associated with bipolar, depression, anxiety, addiction and self-harm as well as lifestyle issues such as sleeping well and self-esteem.

After years of stumbling about in the dark with the weight of the world on my shoulders, I finally felt like I broke through with my past. Opening up is overwhelming and frightening for the majority of us, and I understand the value of having other people to share your throughts and feelings, without being judged or shamed. Recovery is possible. Helping people vocalising their struggles and breaking the stigma of many issues that are still underlay in society is extremely close to my heart, and has been for many years now. I hold a batchelor's degree in Biological and Biomedical Psychology, and have worked with vulnerable individuals in both a clinical and academic setting, and also work as an voluntary advocate for metal health - primarily encouraging those who are struggling to speak out about their struggles. I also write, specialising in mental health fiction and non-fiction. Outside of my working life I enjoy reading, the outdoors, and swimming.

Please feel free to drop me a message if you would like to schedule a chat, I am more than welcome to hear from you. Please note, my schedule will vary throughout the week for now until I get in to the swing of using the site, but will hopefully have more of a schedule as the weeks go on.

Welcome to 7 cups!
