Need to talk to someone?

Hello i am  glad that you found me on 7cups and i wish that i would help you If you need a listening ear I'm here; either start a chat if I'm online or, if not, please send me a message and I'll get back to you when I can! I've been through a lot myself and would like to help others get through their struggles! Making people smile is the best!

Hey there, I'm Alex. I'm a law enforcement officer and a first-year psychology student. I’ve been through treatment for a variety of different diagnoses, including dysthymia, cyclothymia, and a suspected diagnosis of borderline personality disorder. I will try my best to be there for you :-)

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 believe we are more than what we do, and irrespective of what we do, we all deserve love. Core of that belief is essentially that we all are more than what we do, and irrespective of it all we deserve to be understood and loved in all conditions.I think the world lacks it unfortunately, making it more so valuable to offer it and believe in it being the right way of life . 💛 Active listening skills Complete use of active listening skills allowing me to help you feel safe, understood and attended to. 💛 Communication skills Focus on high standard of communication skills allowing me to make chats feel safe with increased clarity and kindness  💛 Graduate degree in psychology Having a graduate degree in applied psychology  allows me to introduce more knowledge and honed skills when coming to discussing most issues and offer high level of professionalism. 🇪🇸 Hola 💛  Mi nombre es Lusio/Bhavya/Riva.  Hablo Inglés Y Español(no es fluido).

Since I cannot accommodate all requests, specific ones get prioritized. Please understand that because of the amount of inquiries I receive, I may not be available to take on new members or new regulars at the time I receive your inquiry. In that case, I will offer to refer you to another listener if you are open to it. I may also share a few relevant resources based on what you shared with me, if time allows and that you have an interest. If you are open/willing to commit to your healing journey but aren't sure what that may look like for you or how to go about it, it's ok to say so in your request as well. Not knowing is a natural part of the process. Open & willing are key starting points. 🌼 I'm so glad you landed on my profile today, welcome! My goal is to hold a safe space for you to open up and lend a compassionate ear to what you are going through. I also share personalized, evidence-based resources to help you process your feelings safely, grow, and heal. I provide follow-up sessions when desired. At this point, I work asynchronously. 🌼 It isn't easy to manage life's peaks & valleys on our own. Sometimes, or even most of the time for so many of us, it feels like a lonely journey, even though in reality, we are never alone, and many can relate. If you'd like to share, I'm here to listen with an open, compassionate heart, and help guide you as you sort through your own thoughts and feelings. Come as you are. I See you. I Believe you. You Matter. ❤️
