Need to talk to someone?

***Please note: I am not currently available for 1-on-1 support chats. With my roles as a community mentor leader, group support mentor, and chatroom moderator I will be focusing my efforts primarily on community teams, forums and group support activities.*** It's not a community without 'u'! About me: Others have described me as an empathetic individual who strives to be objective, motivational, and empowering. I do firmly believe that if you challenge yourself to look at a situation from a different angle you will see options you have overlooked, and that sometimes even unpalatable solutions need to be seen for what they are, possible solutions. I aim to offer a respectful and non-judgmental ear, keeping in mind that my personal values and beliefs are just that: Mine and need only apply to me/my life.  I am a member of the LGBTQ+ community, some of the labels I use, or have used, to describe(not define) myself include but are not limited to, lesbian, homoromantic asexual and demiromantic. While I am open to and accepting of all members of the LGBTQ+ community, I feel my personal experience makes me most suited to supporting those who relate to or don similar labels. Now entering my 40's I have had experiences with a variety of issues from early childhood to present. I have found this can enhance my natural ability to empathize while still offering alternate perspectives. I primarily provide support for and am most comfortable with topics I have indicated in my profile. There are certain topics that I do not take chats involving, namely drugs, alcohol, detailed discussion of sexual topics, or any which contravene the rules of 7 Cups. "No matter what we have come through, or how many perils we have safely passed, or how imperfect and jagged our life has been, we cannot in our heart of hearts imagine how it could have been different. As we look back on it, it slips in behind us in orderly disarray, and, with all its mistakes, acquires a sort of eternal fitness, and even, at times, a poetic glamour." – Randolph Silliman Bourne

I love to reach out and support people.. i do this because others helped me move on to a better life than I thought I deserved.  I care about people so much, it makes my day to make a person feel better.   Contact me for support, i'm here to make a difference in people's lives! 

Hi my name on cups is paws.  I really like helping people out so I thought being a listener on cups would be a good fit for me. What I like to do in free times is eating , films , sports , hiking, being out in nature and a lot more. i am a big fan of psychology and I a big life long learner, i am huge cat person.

Hi there! Welcome to 7 Cups :) I’m part of the Admin team as a Safety Specialist. I'm also a trained active teen and adult listener and I like to support people struggling with about anything. I came here to find help myself and I did and it made me feel a lot better and I want to do the same for others by listening to them. I love to read and listen to music. You can vent out, think out loud, talk about anything you like and I will be here to listen to you without judging you at all as I know how hard it is to open up. I want you to feel safe with me while you talk and know that I am here for you. I am: * A Safety Admin on 7 Cups * A Teen Ambassador * An Adult - Teen Listener Just know that I’m here for you :)

I'm sorry I'm not accepting private chats. I will absolutely respond on the forums and chat there but that is my limit. Thank you for understanding :) I've always been a wordie type person. I devoured books when I was younger and now I love creating my own stories and blogging. I love wordie games like scramble and competing and challenging my brain. Switching off is fun also and some reality shows help me do that. I like working with you and offering potential ideas so that ultimately you do what is best for you. It's your time and space and I hope to create a safe chat bubble world for you to unburden. If you ask me personal questions, I'll be purposely vague, this is not about me, this is about helping you feel at ease :)

***** 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.                  

🍎Current update - My usual times are  7:30PM -9;30PM chats bst time for 30 min chats. Reach out to me to request one of these times and I'll see where I can fit you in. I’m experiencing tech issues at the moment and will get back to you ASAP! 29/09/2026 til 30/09/2026 - no appointments on these dates due to work commitments I'm also not free on weekends.  I do not take chats on: Polygamy, Sexual Issues, BDSM, sexual health These are past areas where Ive had experience:  - Community Mentor: Any of mentees welcome to reconnect! I’d love to know how you’re doing and others too! - Content Writer and Editor - Moderator, chatroom supporter for listeners  - LCI host - Forum Supporter - Assistance in running Positivity Corner Sessions Presently I am one of the hosts for Sharing Circle FEMALE LISTENER  There are awesome community sessions which are scheduled in various rooms. You can check them out here: 7 Cups Community Calendar Please read below about what I try to be as a listener: Although i am not a professional therapist I try to apply my knowledge of psychology, mental health on stuff (p.s. - Undergraduate Bachelors Degree in Psychology completed. YAY 🧡🤩). I aim to be unbiased yet compassionate. Not a fairy godmother. Also I will ask questions that will encourage you to reflect about yourself - for some this may involve looking at parts of themselves that aren’t processed. So if you feel that you aren’t ready to explore things that have hurt you then you may choose to not talk to me. Be clear about what you need is my policy (If you feel you might go over 30 mins it’s best to come in with bullet points about what you want to talk about - e.g if the topic is trauma).  If all the above sounds good let me know if you want a chat.   When the circle near my profile pic is green that means I’m available to talk to you now. If you leave me a message and I don't respond this can because im busy (orange circle) or because im offline (red circle).  *30 min duration chats * Bright7cups former amazing twinning buddy - thank you ❤️

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

Not taking new chats. ------------------------- Coming, going, the waterbirds don't leave a trace, don't follow a path. I'm Charlie and I'm trained, verified and experienced as an active listener for both adults and teens. I like to support people who are struggling with something. Also people who aren't struggling with anything. And people who aren't sure whether they're struggling with anything or not. Please do not message me hoping to start a chat. I am not taking new chats. The poem is said to be by Eihei Dōgen, a Japanese poet who wrote it around eight hundred years ago. I don't know why I like it. I just do. My photo is the moon shining on the sea. There's some darkness and some clouds there but the light of the moon shines on everything. I like this too. Thank you for reading my profile. I'm glad you are here! ------------------------- In an emergency or a crisis: If you are in an emergency or a crisis—for example, if you are at immediate risk of suicide or other serious harm—7 Cups is not the right place, because we cannot deal with emergencies or provide crisis counselling. Click here for information about getting help: Get emergency or crisis support [https://rarelycharlie.github.io/howto/crisis] Listener support: I'm happy to support other listeners with issues related to listening, although I don't have any official role. Please do not message me from a listener account to chat about personal issues. Use a member account for that. To understand why, see: Listener and Member Roles [https://www.7cups.com/forum/ListenersOnlyForums_38/GlensThoughts_143/ListenerandMemberRoles_210/1/] Schedule: I don't have a fixed schedule. I'm online some weekdays between about 4:30 a.m. and 8:30 a.m. US Eastern Time. In the UK this is 9:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. On other days and at weekends I'm often online too, but at times that are not predictable. If you message me or tag me in a forum I'm usually able to respond within a day or two.

Unable to take member chats at this time.  "You are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem and smarter than you think". - Winnie The Pooh I believe that all people need something to do, something to aspire to and someone to love. I believe that angels walk among us, because God is a really busy person-solving lack of world peace, world hunger, etc.  He sends angels to us even in human form to help the cause.  Look for them...now, look harder. I believe what you seek, you shall find. I believe that we all have something to learn from anyone and everyone that we meet. I believe that happiness is a journey and not a destination. I believe that kindness matters, always. Oh well, that's just me.  I BELIEVE ❤️  Enough about me, how about if we talk about you?  Roles on 7 cups Trained Active Listener Verified Active Listener Safety Patrol Team  Peer Pro Peer Support Global Forum Supporter 7 Cups Welcome Committee Pop Up Room Co-host when needed Eyes to the ground.
