Need to talk to someone?

⌚ Availability  August 19th, 2026 & Onward: I'm prioritizing my own mental health and family obligations, so my availability will be inconsistent these days; however, I'm happy to say that I'm accepting new member chats for the time being and will also continue supporting current long term members. 🔓 Should I be available, expect us to talk for around an hour via live chats. Otherwise, expect a response from me within the same week and willingness to schedule a time that works for the both of us. We can also message intermittently through offline messaging. Your best bet to get a hold of me is reaching out on Sunday Afternoons (EST) or rather what I hope to make them - Service Sundays ✨ * Green circles adjacent to my profile indicate that I am available to welcome new member chats and to follow up anyone who I have already spoken with.  * Orange circles adjacent to my profile indicate that I'm occupied giving my undivided attention to someone in a member chat or am focusing on other tasks. I may not be able to have 1-on-1 chats at that time but am open to coordinating dates and times for future chats. * Red circles adjacent to my profile indicate that I am unavailable to take on new member chats but am open to coordinating dates and times for future chats.  Please refer to my "Categories" section for a list of topics I'm available to discuss with members as well as ones that I'm personally familiar with, marked with stars. If you decide to reach out, please detail in your initial messages the topic you'd like support with and how you'd like to be supported. ✅ ------------------------- 🔊 Listening Style Brad here! (he/him) 👋 If you're reading this, it's nice to e-meet you! My goal is to be a supportive pillar for you through formal conversations or through casual conversations. Formal conversations prioritize emotional support and active listening while casual conversations are more open ended. Regardless of what you need, you can count on me to keep our conversations confidential, judgment-free and positive.  Friendly Reminders  * Times might be tough, but together, we can prove that we're tougher 💪 * I hear you and I'm here for you 🫂 * This is a safe space and a familiar place 😌 * I'm not a mental health expert, but that doesn't stop me from being professional ⭐ ------------------------- 📘 Day in the Life  On 7 Cups, you can find me most active on Sundays supporting members in 1-on-1 chats as a listener and occasionally actively commenting in the group chats and on forum posts.    Outside of 7 Cups, you can find me failing to understand why I keep losing the majority of chess matches to my little brother, practicing self-care by working on jigsaw puzzles, and winding down for the day with a good book. 🙏 My biggest challenge with hobbies and interests is finding the time to engage with them all because they are JUST. SO. MANY! Wanting to get back into running, wanting to play the piano, listening to a wide variety of music and watching a suspenseful show are just a few of those many.   ------------------------- 📄 Personal Statement  My goal is to pay it forward: There's a positive cycle and relationship between listeners and members where both benefit from supportive conversations. Members rely on support from listeners to overcome challenges and listeners rely on members to develop a greater sense of self worth and make a difference. We all have a part to play in making the world a better place for ourselves as both individuals and as a community. By pledging to pay it forward and remembering how much I appreciate what I've gotten from 7 Cups, I hope to inspire others to pay it forward as well and to continue the positive cycle. To develop as a listener, I've undergone verification, graduated from the Quality Listening Program, completed the internship program on 7 Cups and will consult more training to continue learning and growing.  Listening to you,  This is Brad 😇 ------------------------- 📨 Resources for Members 7 Cups Welcome Pack: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1CL9Yu_6zixlapOjdrhCgKLy9JN5wY3HWdrGH7PIO2WI/edit?tab=t.0#heading=h.p2ah3g8frtbm  7 Cups Basics: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1M53Nm5-pbtxx2_jKfXYgYzo3NgXxjNfMwfzVSRC1rZg/edit?tab=t.0  Crisis Resources:  https://www.7cups.com/crisis/      https://help.7cups.com/hc/en-us/articles/360026242213-Non-Crisis-Suicidal-Thoughts      Depression:  https://www.7cups.com/forum/depression/ResourcesforDepression_214/DepressionSupportResourcesMasterpost_251542/   On Narcissism & Manipulation:  https://abusewarrior.com/mental-health/manipulation-tactics/  -------------------------

Hello, I’m PHOENIX. I believe becoming the Phoenix is rarely a single choice. It's something we grow into, even during difficult times. I’m a trained active listener with a steady interest in psychology and the quiet, complicated places we all carry inside. I’m here to offer a calm, judgement-free space to talk, unpack, vent, reflect, or simply breathe for a while. My Approach I don’t rush. I move at your pace with clarity and respect. I don’t assume. My focus is understanding you, not fixing you. Some conversations are deep. Some are casual. Both are welcome here. Programs Completed: • Verified Active Listener • Quality Listening Program (Honors) 🎓 • Leadership Development Program (Honors) 🎓 I support adults (18+). I'm frequently online, although replies may be slower during working hours. If you reach out, I’ll be here with steadiness and an open mind. ------------------------- “It always seems impossible until it is done.” — Nelson Mandela

How you feel is perfectly okay. 🌞 Please be aware that I will not be offering advice, as it could be very harmful to both you and your situation, and could cause offence. 🌞 You will suffer no judgement from me. 🌞 Our chat will be as supportive and comforting as possible. 🌞 Finally, I will make sure that you are heard. Your voice deserves to be listened to. -------------------------  🌻 My Involvements 🌻   🌻 Quality 🌻  o Verified Adult-Teen Listener: I completed an interview and a mock chat with a highly experienced listener to show that I'm suitable to chat with teens, and a listener of high quality.  🌻 o Listener Verifier Team: I verify listeners through the Verified Listener project!  🌻 o [Teen] Quality Mentoring: I mentor adult and teen listener quality!  🌻 o Quality Mentor Leading: I lead the Safety Team.

***** Not taking any 1-1 chats right now please use https://www.7cups.com/BrowseListeners/ to find a Listener. ***** Will not take any chats with sex of any nature  I am sorry ***** ***** Current Roles *****  Adult and Teen Listener Forum and Room Supporter - for Mindfulness and 50+ Community Mentor - 50+ Needs reply Charoom Supporter - Listener support room 24/7 Mentor for new Listeners Peer supporter  I joined in December of 2017, to help those who have nowhere  to turn. I am here for new listeners also to mentor because beginning a role like a Listener can be scary and want to give back to them. to help guide them and supply the appropriate tolls ( forms, links ) to help them succeed in their role. I help also with any concerns a new listener may have. I have real fun making forum posts for topics that help in my groups Mindfulness and 50+. I think of topics and write a forum post either to educare us more or just to update on a topic of choice. I enjoy writing the post and hearing feedback from others on how a person feels about the topics . My experience on 7 cups makes me love the roles I have and new roles I may apply for. I have grown so much with 7 cups and use certain chat strategies in my friendships offline.                  

PLEASE READ MY WHOLE BIO BEFORE PROCEEDING TO SEND A REQUEST 😊 I'm Alexis, i would love to listen & help you out, i'm glad you're here! My passion is helping other people because i know how it feels like to struggle so much especially with things like chronic illness, anxiety, and relationship stress. I want people to feel supported.  *Listeners cannot give advice and are not professionals* If I am on red i cannot take any urgent support chats but will reply as soon as possible. if i am on green, i am available to listen and support you. :)  Just a little reminder that while I genuinely enjoy supporting others here on 7 Cups, I may occasionally step away to focus on my own mental health and self-care. Taking breaks is important, and even listeners need time to recharge. Please remember to set boundaries, and give yourself the same care you give to others. You matter, too!

I'm Kelly, I've been a listener here on 7 cups for quite some time now and I'd like to think that I've learnt a lot about how to support people who need it. I, like most people have been through some really difficult life challenges but I believe that by listening to each other and talking about our problems we can comfort each other and make things a little easier.
