Need to talk to someone?

Hey there! My name is Aiden and I'm glad that you’ve found me on 7 Cups of Tea. I am a trained active listener and a proud part of the LGBTQ+ community. I have experience helping people with many things from depression and anxiety to PTSD and eating disorders, and also have experience with psychosis and dissociative disorders, as well as borderline personality disorder. I enjoy just about anything outdoorsy but always find my way back inside for a good book. My dog and I love taking on new adventures and are here to support you with challenges you’re facing. As someone who has been touched by these issues, I am here as an open ear to listen and chat with you about the struggles you’re working to overcome, and the stressors keeping you stuck.  Although I have more experience with the issues listed above, I would love to support anyone who wants to chat. I currently do not have availability for private chats. Just know you are awesome and courageous for being here!

Hi,  I'm Vincie. I generally prefer talking about issues that I have direct experience with, which includes mental health issues like bipolar, ADHD and anxiety as well as less niche topics like university life and  immigration. I'm also trying to be a disability rights advocate throughout my university and work experiences. And I'm in the process of getting an official recognition of my psychiatric disability. From a professional point of view (I'm an urban planner), I have a great interest in other types of disabilities as well, but I cannot guarantee the same level of support as I've never used a wheelchair or had sensory deficits. 

Hello, I'm always here to help, I'm fine with talking about most things and I'm always here if you ever want to just chat a bit or want to talk about anything that's been bothering you! <3 Please don't be afraid to reach out to me, remember that this is a safe place and I nor anyone else will ever make fun of you. Also, even if I'm offline don't be scared to leave a message! I'll get back to you as soon as possible ( ´ ▽ ` )b

Welcome to a safe, judgment-free space. Life can be overwhelming, but you don't have to navigate it alone. I am here to offer a compassionate ear, active support, and a calm environment where you can freely express yourself at your own pace🌷 "You are enough in the most beautiful, complete way."  *I don't want to talk about problems related to sexual health and LGBTQ issues as these are sensitive topics for me.* ------------------------- Perchance a realm where people are gentle. A world of sympathy, with positive potential  A refuge where compassion is influential. In this haven, kindness would be essential.

I can speak French, English and Korean

🦋"Being focused on the process means much more than the success itself."✨️ 🇺🇸English  -Hi, you can call me Star! I'm 19 and a Psychology major. Currently on a mental health break and not accepting new chats Digital Art, Design, art and people are things that keep me moving every day. Making your day a little better helps my mission to come to life! I have Cerebral Palsy, and I'm a lesbian. That means I do have experiences with Disabilities and LGBTQIA+ questions, and I'm 100% open to discuss those🤍.  It's my main goal to be able to use my knowledge in a supportive way🧠  Even if I'm more capable in offering support related to my own experiences, I'm still a versatile listener. You're not alone! If you wanna talk, feel free to request me!   (I do not accept chats with sexual or suicidal matters, if you need more immediate help, reach out to someone close to you or a therapist so they can help you properly)  Let me explain how I work! If I am... Online: You can make a request and i'll be likely avaliable to chat with you imediately!   Busy: I'm currently chatting with another member, so i might not be able to accept your request   Offline: I'm not avaliable in the moment but you can message me and we can schedule a time to talk!   I'll inform you the amount of time that we have to chat at the start of our conversation :)   ~Star✨️ 🇧🇷PT/BR 🦋"Estar focado no processo significa muito mais do que o sucesso.✨️ -Oi, pode me chamar de Star!

Se quiser conversar, fique à vontade para me solicitar! (Não aceito conversas sobre assuntos sexuais ou suicidas, se precisar de ajuda mais imediata procure alguém próximo ou um terapeuta para que possa te ajudar adequadamente) Deixa eu te explicar como eu trabalho!

Hi there! Welcome to my profile! *I am not taking 1-1 chats at the moment* I very recently graduated university. I studied psychology and now I volunteer as Internship ambassador here at 7 cups. Feel free to reach out to me if you have any questions regarding the Internship Project.  If you are reading this, send me a hi! :D  I might not reply immediately, but I try my best to reply as soon as I can (can sometimes take a couple of days) My Listener twin: @KeenEar96 

Vent, rant, open up, spill the beans.  We're in this together :)

I am passionate about helping young people with anxiety and trauma. I want to offer hope and encouragement and let them I know I get it. I am kind and love to listen to others and help them through struggles. I have anxiety so it's easy for me to relate.❤️ Not availiable Sundays

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’m Nix. If you’re looking for a place to talk without being assaulted by Pinterest therapy quotes and “good vibes only” energy — welcome. This is the judgment-free, ramble-friendly zone where overthinking counts as cardio. Do I have life figured out? Absolutely not. I Google 70% of my emotions. But I’ll listen — whether you bring heartache, absurdity, philosophical spirals, or a 2AM thought that has no right being that dramatic. Into art, books, psychology, philosophy, astrology, memes that range from intellectual to clinically insane? Same. That’s my natural habitat. Hit me up. Worst case? You vent, I listen, and we both leave slightly more sane… or at least armed with another meme to emotionally disassociate with. Remember even the darkest night will end and the sun will rise ~ Victor Hugo P.s Would love to be friends with other listeners as well 🍻

I personally have dealt with grief, depression, a bit of family anxieties. I am a Christian woman. I believe God is the person who created us and directs our paths. If you would like to know anything more personal about myself just ask. I'm an open book honestly.
