Welcome to my page :) I am Kate, a young woman from Greece. I am currently working in customer service, and i plan on studying psychology or English philology in university. I initially joined this site to get support in regards to my at the time relationship, and decided to also join as a Listener, doing exactly what I plan on having as my profession in a few years from now: be there for people. My main role here is to be there for you no matter what you go through, no matter how big or small it is. And no matter how many roles I take on on this site, I will still be here for you. For that is my main goal, my biggest contribution to this community. 🥰 Some of my hobbies include: dancing, writing, reading books playing (romance, fantasy, mythology and non-fiction), filming videos, playing final fantasy 14 as well as taking pictures. 🌺 I am only available for supportive conversations on the topics listed on my profile. For any other topic, please contact another listener. Thank you! 🌺 My contribution to this community goes beyond being a Listener. Here are some other roles I have taken up: Verified Listener. I have been verified by the community for my commitment to active listening skills and quality chatting. That means the community expects of me to maintain professional, kind, open-minded and understanding towards you at all times. Chat Supporter. I am considered a listener who has expertise in the role of a listener and is eligible to provide specialized support to listeners on 7cups in regards to their role/supportive chat. Peer Supporter. I am considered a listener who is capable of listening to fellow listeners after a difficult chat with a member and provide support and show empathy to them after this tough situation they were in. Global Moderator. I ensure a welcoming and safe space for everyone in the member community chat rooms. I am found quite often there, especially in the Teen Community Chatroom. Pass by and say hi! Doorkeeper. I can open and close community rooms. If you need a room opened or closed, you are welcome to contact me. Community Mentor Leader for the Relationship Stress community. I overview the Relationship Stress community and forums. Are you interested in joining the team? Let me know! Safety Patrol Team Member. I flag profiles that go against the website guidelines. 🌺 My status usually indicates: Green: I am online and ready to take a chat. Orange: I am online but busy, which means my responses will be slower - not taking any chats. Red: I am offline - not taking new chats. You can leave me a message to set an appointment during that time. Expected response time is 24-48 hours after your message is sent. If you receive no response within that time range, feel free to send me a message again (I may sometimes forget to respond, so excuse me for that :P) Message me and let's schedule a chat! 🌺

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.

I accept long term members. what my status means: * Green: I am online! so you can reach out to me :) * Orange: I am online but I'm busy listening to someone, so I won't be available immediately to listen to you. * Red: I am offline, so I'd appreciate it if you left a message and I will respond when I will log back in! please be careful with these specific things when messaging me: * Please don't call me "sweetie, honey, baby, lovely, cutie " as I do not feel comfortable. * Please don't try to guilt trick me or guide my ways of handling my account and my conversations, as I feel everyone is different and not everyone is a perfect match. * Please dear members and listeners, don't message me to have a casual conversation, as I'm here to focus on people who need emotional support rather than get to know people closely and make friendships.

Hi! I am here to listen and support you in whatever you are going through. I genuinely want to provide a safe and non-judgmental space where you can feel comfortable to share and can feel heard.  I believe having someone truly listen can make a big difference, especially during difficult moments. I will do my best to listen with empathy, patience and respect.  You do not have to go through things alone 🌞
