Bio in Portuguese and Spanish - https://docs.google.com/document/d/1fNTypEG5qrD1NjnFMrE7PdDV5frFHGqhTSZk1Jx7u9s/edit?usp=sharing I am unable to support topics about breakups, relationship stress, or sexual health. I am unavailable Saturday and Sunday.  Availability Monday - Thursday after 4 PM ET Friday between 10 AM ET - 6 PM ET I'm glad you’ve reached out. Life can sometimes feel overwhelming, and having someone to listen without judgment can make a difference. Whether you're feeling lost, anxious, or need space to share your thoughts, I’m here to support you. I aim to create a safe, empathetic environment where you can feel heard and understood. We all battle things, and thankfully, we don't have to do it alone, even if it's just someone on the other side of the screen offering support. Topics I support Bipolar Disorder, Domestic Violence, Grief, LGBTQ+, PTSD/Trauma(Sexual Abuse/Assault), Self-Harm, and Terminal Illness What to expect I focus on being a compassionate listener, asking thoughtful questions, and helping you process your emotions. My goal is to help you feel lighter by the end of our conversation. I believe in the power of kindness, honesty, and mutual respect in every chat. My chats are 1 hour long and I support repeating members once a week. Feel free to reach out when you're ready to talk. Let's walk this journey together, one step at a time.

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 love welcoming new listeners and will always be available to take  listener chats with you all (I'm peer support, please feel free to message me after a hard chat I'm here for you 🤗)    ~ 💙My listener twin is BrightHeart116//love you MishiS💙 ~           To every beautiful listener, I've had the good fortune to meet, thank you! I hope you realise not only how much you matter to me but how much you truly enrich this community and life too!            To every wonderful member, I've come across along my journey, never forget your worth and how splendid you are to know!  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ​​💫To all individuals I've come to accept the loss of, know I'll forever mourn you, You will remain eternal in my heart and the hearts of those who cared💫 ☺️💙☺️Have a lovely day all 💙

Proud triplet of the terrific trio @InternalAcceptance and @Chassymom    Former leader of the addiction support team and have since passed the torch on to @InternalAcceptance. So proud of my amazing tripply <3 Hi there, I'm AJ but you can call me vinyl, viny or fly. Welcome to my listener profile. Glad you're here with us on 7 cups.    I'm a verified active listener. I'm happy to support you on your journey and help you navigate the bumps in the road you may come across. I've driven over many myself and have acquired much wisdom and compassion along the way. Message me if you're looking for a caring, wise and open-minded set of ears. I'm passionate about helping people in need and am heavily involved in disability, mental health, 2SLGBTQ+, and harm advocacy in my local community. I'm happy to chat about whatever's on your mind but I have the most knowledge in the areas of anxiety and panic attacks, drug/alcohol use and harm reduction, autism, ADHD, chronic illnesses and disabilities, coping with strong emotions, sexual orientation and gender identity, and post-traumatic stress.   Please note that I take 1-1 chats in 1 hour time blocks. I do this to make sure that everyone has a chance to be listened to. I'll let you know when there are 10 minutes remaining in your chat so it's easier to start wrapping things up. Looking forward to hearing from all you lovely people. It takes a lot of courage to reach out for help when you need it. Through our struggles, we can learn how to harness our strengths

I am sorry but I am currently on an indefinite self-care break. If you would really like to talk to me, just shoot me a PM and I will get back to you as soon as I can. Hello, I’m JediTurtle. I’m glad you’ve found me on 7 Cups of Tea. I’ll try to be the best listener I can and support people in whatever struggles they are going through. I like to think that I have overcome quite a bit in my life and I would like to try and help by listening to you. If I’m online please feel free to start a chat, if not then send me a message and we can set up a time to chat. Please remember to read the list of topics that I cover. Take care and have a wonderful day!  Here are some quotes I like: "Don't focus on your anxieties. Keep your concentration here and now where it belongs." -Liam Neeson as Qui Gon Jinn "No matter how difficult life may seem, there is always something you can do and succeed at. It matters that you don't just give up." -Stephen Hawking "No matter how hard life gets, I always say, don't look down at your shoes, look up at the stars." -Stephen Hawking "No-one can choose your mountain or tell you when to climb... It's yours alone to challenge at your own pace and time." -Patricia J. Hacker-Harber "Everyone you meet is fighting a battle you know nothing about. Be kind. Always." -Robin Williams Need a hug? Try: thenicestplaceontheinter.net How about trying some calming activities? Try: thisissand.com or weavesilk.com I'm not sure I'm the best one to talk to about loss, but I can say this from experience: "Everyone processes loss in their own way and their own time. Don't let others make you feel like you have to just deal with it in a time frame they think of as acceptable."
