I would appreciate receiving ratings and reviews, as they help me improve, learn, and grow.

Hello! I am having surgery on 4/9/2024, and will be taking the time I need to recover. I will not be able to respond to messages immediately during this time. Thank you for your understanding!♥️ 💖Hi there💖 I am so glad you’re here, and that you feel able to share things that may be difficult for you to open up about. I’m here to listen and be a shoulder to lean on when you need it the most. Sometimes just being there for someone is enough. This is a no-judgement zone. I have had a lot of direct-lived experiences with mental and physical health issues, and completely understand what it is like to be misunderstood or unheard and having no one to turn to. Feeling alone and isolated in your own body is extremely hard. However, I’ve discovered over time that this actually tends to be when you need the support the most. Please let me be that person for you during these difficult moments.❤️ I want you to be able to feel comfortable talking with me, but if you feel like I am not understanding you correctly and you would prefer to talk to someone else, I completely understand and would not take this personally. Please just let me know as I will be able to recommend someone for you and your specific needs. I have some personal triggers relating to medical topics, but I will be sure to let you know during the chat if this is the case at any point. I appreciate your understanding with this. I am studying at university right now and it can get pretty hectic at times. Whilst I am fast to respond when I am online, this will not be the case for the rest of the day. Please be patient with me, I will respond as soon as I am able to😊 My roles here: * Verified Listener * Approved Adult-Teen Listener * Listener Verifier Team * Peer Supporter * Chat Support (Adult/Teen) * Listener Chatroom Mentor (Adults/Teens) * Listener Discussions Team * Doorkeeper (ask me to open/close a room!) * Quality Mentor * Listener Coaching Team * Safety Patrol Team * Quality Mentoring - Project Agent * Anonymous Evaluations Team * Needs Reply Team Co-Leader I have successfully completed: * Internship Programme - with Honours * Leadership Development Programme - with Honours * Time Management Course * Community Building Course My listener twin buddy is: @Kristynsmama My Listener Twin Brain is: @Fuechsin - it feels like we share the same brain cells! 😊🩷 Credit to: AnnaSilverberg for my profile pic design😁

Hiya, I'm Emily 😊 I am passionate about helping others and want to make a difference in people's lives. I'm free to listen if you need someone to connect, help, support, or vent. I'm a good listener who is always understanding of the situation and open-minded. I'm compassionate and empathetic, enjoying seeing others smile and be happy. I have studied both sociology and psychology. I enjoy volunteering to make a difference and am not obligated to provide professional advice. I am a youth worker with a diploma in youth work. I never judge a book by its cover.

Hello! Keep it simple. Just talk :)

I welcome you to 7cups and hopefully you have just taken the first step in a direction you would like to go! I am an experienced listener as this has been an essential part of my work for several years. I am realistic in what I can do to help, and non-judgemental and sensitive in my approach  I have worked with people through many difficult times relating to a variety of life's issues and challenges - and I have also personal experience of some difficult life challenges and choices. I don't ever pretend I have all the answers though! But through talking and listening together, maybe I can help you reflect and talk more on whatever has brought you here, maybe from a different or wider perspective than you have so far seen, and maybe this will help you see your way forward a little more clearly. If my listening helps you to do that even in a small way, then perhaps you will feel more motivated, or positive, or re-assured, calmer or comforted - and that you will feel the time we will have shared has been worthwhile! We are all human ... and that makes us all unique in who we are but often we have life experiences in common. Many of those are challenges and choices that many others have faced, so surely it can make sense to share and learn from each other as we all go through life! So now that you have found 7cups and maybe even read my profile, all you need to do now is take the second step and make contact! If I am not on-line, please leave a message and I will reply as soon as I can to arrange a mutually convenient time to listen, share and reflect ..... and hopefully you can take the next step forward in the direction you want to go.

Welcome to my profile ------------------------- In this ever-changing world, I believe in the power of words to inspire, uplift, and ignite the flame of possibility within us. Through thoughtful conversations, let's embark on a journey of exploration and growth.Together, we can delve into the depths of knowledge, unravel the mysteries of existence, and embrace the beauty of human connection. Let's challenge our perspectives, spark our creativity, and cultivate empathy for one another. In this space, let's celebrate diversity, encourage open-mindedness, and foster a sense of belonging. May our discussions be a catalyst for positive change, a sanctuary for reflection, and a source of inspiration that propels us towards our aspirations. Join me in discovering the wonders of the world, the intricacies of the human mind, and the vastness of our collective potential. Let's empower each other, share wisdom, and create a ripple effect of kindness and understanding that extends beyond these digital boundaries. Together, let's create a dialogue that transcends limitations, ignites passions, and nurtures the seeds of transformation. I look forward to embarking on this remarkable journey of exploration and growth with you. Welcome, and let our words pave the way to a brighter future. ------------------------- We must never forget that we are all connected, that our actions have consequences that reach far beyond our own lives. We must strive to be a force for good in the world, to leave it a better place than we found it. ------------------------- I acknowledge that as individuals, it is natural for us to form judgments and opinions about the world and the people around us. Our experiences, beliefs, and values shape our perspectives, which can influence our thoughts,and actions. However, I firmly believe in the importance of not allowing these judgments to dominate my interactions with others. I strive to be mindful of my biases and conscious of the potential impact they may have on my behavior. Instead, I make a conscious effort to approach each person and situation with an open mind, curiosity, and a genuine desire to understand. When you engage with me, I am committed to providing you with my undivided attention and active listening. I am genuinely interested in what is on your mind, whether it is a topic that is bothering you, occupying your thoughts, or simply a subject you wish to discuss. I am here to create a safe and non-judgmental space where you can freely express yourself, knowing that I will be present and attentive without imposing my own judgments or biases. My goal is to foster a respectful and empathetic environment, where you feel comfortable sharing your thoughts, concerns, and experiences. By doing so, I hope to promote meaningful conversations and a sense of connection.

welcome to my page! i'm puppypaws22, but you can just call me paws or liv ♡ I'm here as a dedicated listener on 7 Cups, ready to offer you a compassionate ear and a supportive presence.  My commitment to you is rooted in empathy and non-judgment. Together, we can explore your emotions, navigate through difficult moments, and uncover potential solutions. Whether you choose to share through text, rest assured that our conversation is confidential and secure.  Take a deep breath, and whenever you're ready, I'm here to listen.  On 7cups you're never alone. You're valued, heard, and cared for ALWAYS. 💚 Important Notes: If you're experiencing crisis thoughts, whether active or passive, or if you're actively harming yourself, please know that I care deeply about your well-being. While I'm here to listen and support you, it's important to understand that 7 Cups isn't a crisis platform. I encourage you to reach out to the appropriate channels for immediate help. You can find resources at https://www.7cups.com/crisis/ or connect with a hotline. Remember, you are worthy of living, and you're not defined by your current situation or thoughts. Keep holding on, reach out for help, and remember, you owe it to yourself to seek support. 💛 Life's been quite busy lately, so I may not be as quick to respond as usual. But I'm determined to get back to being as active as before! Remember, your needs come first, so feel free to seek support from other listeners. There are so many caring souls here ready to lend a helping hand. My messages are always open, but please remember if you're a listener to switch to a member account for support! 💜  

. . .  if you just say hi, do you really just want a hi back? Something to think about perhaps when approaching a listener for the first time. It is much more helpful for everyone to actually say something that can lead to a good listening experience. I am unable to take on new chats from members right now. Please understand and choose another listener instead. Don't forget to use the filter/search function to find a more suitable listener https://www.7cups.com/BrowseListeners/  "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 soon then you can apply for one of the Teen Transitioning Team 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 [https://bit.ly/7CupsTTM] If you have any feedback or ideas for the Hobby Zone sub-community then please fill out this form ~~> https://bit.ly/7CupsHZform  At weekends my response will be slower as that is usually my time off from 7Cups, 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 behavior 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'm here as a listener and in my daily life outside of 7cups I work as a Counsellor. I have spent the last 4 years working in disability here in Australia. I have worked with clients starting at 3 years of age going well up to 65. Before that I worked with families for 16 years and gave a huge effort there. I have a lot of empathy and compassion coupled with real life skills and practicality. I know a lot of people can't afford counsellors and sometimes you might not get out of it what you want. I am not here to counsel you, just to be clear. So please don't expect that. However, I do have a few skills that might support you to move through whatever it is that you are moving through. If I can't support you or help you I'll move you on to another listener. Sometimes listeners without any quals can be immensely helpful. This can be a wonderful and amasing service for a lot of people and I am glad to be a part of it :) I'm also glad you're a part of 7cups :) Also, my opening line is always, "hello" but don't be deterred. I have ADHD, Dyslexia and potentially be on the spectrum, mildly. 

Response time for New member/listener-PM: 24-48 hours (Avoid sending just "Hi". Let me know why you want to connect) I might not be available for live chat. Please reach out to live-available listeners whenever you need. You deserve it. 💛 Response time for previously connected member/listener-PM: I will be looking forward to your updates. Feel free to leave one.  **I DO NOT TAKE SEXUAL CHATS** ------------------------- A little "appreciation" sometimes does quite as much good as all the conscientious "bringing up" in the world. Let us be grateful to the people who make us happy; they are the charming gardeners who make our souls blossom.
