Long-Term inactive. This profile is for record of my work and impact only.  Hello there :).  ​ I'm Katie, glad to meet you!  -💙 I greatly value feedback, please consider leaving a review so I can reflect on our experience💙- Please read through my profile before reaching out to me. ​​​ ⬇️ Availability: I was consistently available from 6pm - 10pm BST, Tuesday to Friday each week, for four years with occasional weeks off!  Though, my availability is additionally signified by the markers in my profile [Green= I am active and in a position to provide support so please reach out to me! Orange= I am online but may be working on other areas of the site meaning I am not exclusively active. Red= I am not online and am not in a position to provide support at the moment].  Expectations of chats and my role within them: As an active listener I take pride in my role of providing support, through maintaining a structure within chats and upholding standards within my therapeutic relationships formed within them. * As such chats are structured to last between 30 minutes and 2 hours with me. * Experiences can be held as a single interaction, inconsistent sessions, or scheduled sessions! Within chats I will take an active role and will exclusively focus on you. * My listening style reflects this!: * I take a person-centred approach to listening, tying in aspects of other therapeutical models to best support everyone. This means that I take a non-judgemental and supportive approach to communicating, so will aim to empower you to be able to help yourself process your emotions and experiences through our conversations.  * Due to this I, unfortunately, do not take casual conversations :) Compatibility/ experiences:  Thank you for considering me to support you :)  In finding a listener it is helpful to seek someone who can provide an insight into your own experiences and outlook, by sharing similar experiences and mindsets.   As such I would like to share some of my experiences to inform your decision.  Many of my experiences fall into these categories :  -Depression -Anxiety -Family stress  -relationship stress -self-esteem -C-PTSD  Though the majority of my experiences fall into those areas they are not limited to the scope of them. I am capable of talking about almost every topic, applying those experiences and lessons to better understand you. As your situation is completely unique I appreciate every chat is a new experience, I'd be very glad to listen to you vent, provide support or simply keep a conversation☺️. It is worth noting during our conversations, though I will try to listen to all experiences, I am not confident in handling some topics so will not take chats with the main focus on them. As such if your topics fall under these (listed) I would recommend searching for another listener who may be better able to respond to your specific needs: -Disordered eating -Drug addiction  -Alcohol addiction  -Sexual health problems   --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Some loving reminders ( ˘ ³˘)♥ ​​-​​​♡ You deserve respect and care, feeling alone or hurt can is a painful thing, regardless of where you are in life you deserve respect and appreciation. -♡ You are capable and wonderful, insecurity and experiences can make you forget what you're truly able to do. Recognise your abilities :) -♡ You deserve great things. Don't let negative thoughts or people overwhelm you, it can be difficult to believe but you deserve a lot from this life. -♡ You can get better! sometimes when you've felt down or hurt for so long it feels like recovery is impossible. But healing is completely possible, and so many people are here for you   -♡ Take care of yourself -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- My Roles within the individual and  wider community:  General Role:  * - My most substantial Role on 7 Cups is that of an Active Listener, providing a listening support service to members with a range of issues. As well as providing support to other listeners and being active in the community forums and chatrooms to organise support on a wider scale. You can see my impact in my profile.            Most Recent Roles:  *  - My role is a Trained Active Listener [I regularly recap training and am always searching for the best ways to support people]. * - I am a verified listener [meaning I passed a mock chat to ensure my quality as a listener] * -I am a peer support [which means that I am trained to provide support to listeners after difficult chats] *  - I am the host of sharing circle group session every Tuesday at 3 pm EST/ 8pm GMT. feel free to come alone :) I have hosted for over two years now! Previous Roles: * - I was both a host at one point in time, and co-host of the listener sharing circle (every Sunday from 8am - 9am EST // with a combined time of hosting being five months). * - I was an assigned host for the healthy habits sessions before they got discontinued (I hosted every Tuesday since I first joined till the sessions merged with sharing circles, hosting for 9 months). * - At one point I also hosted friendship room weekly sessions mine was self-care Saturday! (I hosted every Saturday and played a significant role in writing the script, of which is still used to this day). * - I was a dedicated member of the ___ Community, being forum supporter, having this responsibility for 8 months. * - I was a Forum Supporter more significantly for the Positivity and Gratitude sub-community, posting regularly and supporting the community through major contributions site-wide such as hosting a month long event for mental health awareness month, and collaborating with other community leaders in a different shared Forum Event. For three years!  * - I was additionally a Forum Supporter for the needs reply team, wherein I dedicated my time to reducing the needs reply section of forums. * - I was once a contributor to project lightship, an outreach programme, wherein I promoted this website and the valuable work done here through social media. You can find my profile here! : @katie7cups / KatieTheRockOne7cups  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ A message to the community:                    As a fellow listener, I am compassionate about creating a warm welcoming community between both members and listeners alike.

I’m someone who thinks a little too much about why people are the way they are. I spend a lot of time thinking about self-awareness and psychology. Not in a textbook way, just in a “why do we feel what we feel and how do we deal with it” kind of way. I think confidence comes from knowing yourself, being okay with who you are, being comfortable in our own skin, like we carry our home everywhere with us. I love talking to strangers. Always have. If you want someone to just listen without jumping to fix things, I’m around. Come say it

Hi! I have to take some time away right now, flying south for the summer. Stay strong. You can do this! 🦋❤️🦋 Right now I am busy with my long-term members and I am not taking on any new ones. So if you have messaged me I urge you to seek another listener using the https://www.7cups.com/BrowseListeners/  link. There you can search using the filter option. I will update here when things change.  ~~~*~~~  "I am glad you have found me here at 7 Cups! I am happy to listen to you on many topics. I have experience in lots of different areas - anxiety, depression, and mental illness, families, and relationships, love, school, college, or work-related problems, financial stress, healthy living, food, and special diets, I can also offer support for chronic pain, illness, and disabilities. I am part of both the adult and the teen listening team, (and yes I can still remember being a teen lol) and I also offer long-term support to those that I can and who are in need. If I am not online then you are welcome to leave me a message -  but please tell me what you want to talk about so we can get off to a flying start. I will get back to you when I am next able, but please bear in mind that I get a lot of messages and I will reply to the most urgent first so if you just say hi, do you really just want a hi back? If you are a teen turning 18 in the near future, or if you have already turned 18 and feel like some more support then you can apply for one of the Teen Transition Mentor Team, including me, to reach out and support you through the transition from the teen side to the 18+ adult side.  The form is here ~~~> https://bit.ly/7CupsTTM If you have any feedback or ideas for the Disability Support Community then please fill out this form ~~> https://forms.gle/EJN1SX74mo6swPwN6  At weekends my response will be slower as that is usually my time off from 7 Cups, and I may not respond to any PMs or new requests till Monday. I  hope you understand that. We all need time for ourselves to recharge our batteries and relax.  ONE STEP AT A TIME "We all have different-sized footsteps that we leave behind on our journey through life. Sometimes we can change the size of our footsteps, the imprint, the impact, the direction. Sometimes our footsteps land on rock and they do not show, or they land on sand and stay for a while, Other times they get washed away by massive oceans or powerful waves. But each and every footstep is important in so many ways. Ways that we may not even know about. Watch your step, think about your steps, plan your next step, and the rest will follow."  Listening ... one step at a time Quote of Acceptance When we don't accept an undesired event, it becomes Anger, When we accept it, it becomes tolerance. When we don't accept uncertainty, it becomes fear, When we accept it, it becomes an adventure,  When we don't accept other's bad behaviour toward us, it becomes hatred, When we accept it, it becomes forgiveness. When we don't accept other's success, it becomes jealousy When we accept it, it becomes an inspiration. Acceptance is the key to handling life well !! Butterflies are a symbol of hope that we can all change from a small brown grub into a beautiful amazing butterfly! One step at a time! "Those who never change their minds, never change anything!" (Winston S. Churchill) "Prepare for the worst, but hope for the best!"  (B. Disraeli) Pearls are a great symbol of the grace we create, for the oyster creates its greatest work of art from an irritant!

I can also help you with sleep problems,PTSD, trauma, abuse, OCD, weight management, stress, substance abuse, eating disorders, chronic pain, managing emotions and stress.
