Need to talk to someone?

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.

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.

Sometimes when things are not going according to what we might have thought of, the best thing is to communicate with someone about that. Major problems and situations can be mitigate or dealt with a heartfelt conversation. I'm here to listen to whoever need to talk their hearts.

Please note I have been on and off in activity since I was most active in 2021. This is due to my external occupations and academics which makes sticking around here difficult sometimes.

I am someone who is passionate about letting people know that they are not alone and I am ready to listen, we all need to know that someone cares, I am not judgemental and my strength is that I feel I have been through alot in my own life and what got me through it, is opening up!

 I am an endlessly curious person who genuinely enjoys connecting with people and learning about the experiences that make each person unique. I love exploring new ideas, discovering different perspectives, and hearing the stories that shape who we are. Every conversation is an opportunity to learn something new, and I’m continually inspired by the resilience, wisdom, and kindness I encounter. I feel grateful for the chance to listen, support, and grow through meaningful conversations, and I deeply appreciate the courage it takes to reach out. I try to approach life with curiosity, optimism, and gratitude. I enjoy asking thoughtful questions, exploring life’s big questions, and finding reasons to be hopeful each day. I also value quiet moments of reflection through meditation, which helps me stay grounded, present, and open-hearted. I’m a nature lover who finds peace and inspiration in the outdoors, whether it’s a simple walk or just noticing the beauty in everyday surroundings. I’m thankful for meaningful connections and fascinated by how a single conversation can spark insight, inspire growth, and brighten someone’s day; including my own. My goal is to create a warm, supportive space where people feel heard, valued, encouraged, and appreciated. Fun fact: I have a habit of naming animals I see outside, even if I only see them once.

Sometimes we don't need advise we just need somebody to listen The most basic of all human needs is the need to understand and be understood. The best way to understand people is to listen to them." - Ralph G. Nichols غالب خستہ کے بغیر کونسے کام بند ہیں روئیے زار زار کیا کیجئے ہائے ہائے کیوں

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.
