Need to talk to someone?

More Filters

It can sometimes be difficult to find support from family members, friends, or like minded people. While you might have a best friend or a support system and network such as groups on social media, you might want to seek support without any social interaction.

Our listeners provide emotional support through active listening. Active listening helps process your emotional distress. The following page can be filtered to seek listeners who provide long-term help and support. You can also browse listeners according to your preferred language as well as for different topics amongst other filters.

7 Cups is a chat site/app that has different options to find a good listener. You can meet new people and text chat with other individuals going through tough times - you are not alone! Everyone goes through a hard time at some point in their lives and we are here for you. Whether you are facing relationship problems, panic attacks, struggling with substance abuse, loneliness, depression, anxiety, or any other mental health issue, our site/app is a safe space based on confidential, anonymous support.

A good idea is to consider what form of support you would like in the first place - we have plenty of options to explore and one of the best ways is to give them a try to find out what works for you. We understand that different people have different needs and preferences. All these support services are appropriate for different situations.

This page can help you seek a trained active listener to talk to through 1-on-1 conversations. These listeners come from different walks of life and all are ready to offer a compassionate listening ear to people who would like to talk to someone else. You can select their username to view their detailed profile page with their shared bio and other information such as whether they have lived experience of mental health conditions or topics, their reviews, as well as their training and other badges. While our listeners do not provide direct advice, their support can help you vent your feelings and concerns in a safe space and you can work together to figure out healthy coping tools.

Listener conversations can vary in duration according to your listener's and your personal availability. Some listeners have the option to schedule chats with them in advance. You can always browse for listeners and leave them a message so that they can get back to you with their availability.

There are several other ways you can find someone to talk to at 7 Cups. These include the group chats and subcommunities. We are glad you are taking the first step towards support!

Our group chat rooms are online chat rooms that serve as different support groups where you can send text messages 24/7. We are a global community with people from all over the world. Some chat rooms include the Sharing Circle room, which is a non-judgemental safe space based on the traditions of AA and similar support groups. This space can prove helpful if you need a group of people to talk to who can listen and get to know you over a long time. Sharing your feelings and experiences as well as listening to those of others can help feel supported. You can expand your support network and make online supportive friends and connections!

On the other hand, if you would like to interact with people and talk to someone over forums, we have dedicated subcommunities for over 45+ topics covering a wide range of mental illness support topics through various sub-forums. Our subcommunities provide support, awareness, events, as well as opportunities to participate in light-hearted icebreakers.

Apart from the above mentioned mental health services at 7 Cups, we have affordable therapy options allowing you to seek online therapy for mental health problems with an online therapist, licensed psychologist, and other mental health professionals. This support is affordable as compared to other online and offline services or other options like support through insurance companies. Therapists are also available to talk to throughout the week on working days.

While our community can help support you after you have lost someone else to suicide, 7 Cups is not to be used in the state of active/passive suicidal thoughts - for such cases, please visit helpful resources such as the Samaritans or National Suicide Prevention Lifeline. For a complete list of helpful resources, click here.

If you would like to gain further insight and helpful information about different mental health topics, you can visit our Community Questions and Answers pages, or read our Expert Mental Health News and Advice articles. Other main features you can explore include our self-help guides and growth paths based on treatment protocols available for free!

The bottom line is, you are never alone - 7 Cups is a community aiming to provide compassion on a global scale. There are various ways to talk to someone at 7 Cups. These include 1-on-1 conversations based on active listening and support through trained listeners, group chats with support discussions and Sharing Circles, and the subcommunity forums. Other features that you may find helpful include the growth paths, community questions and answers, as well as expert advice sections.

Hi all, I'm glad you've found my profile here! I truly love to listen and help others, and am particularly versed in eating disorders, work stress, and sexual assault, though happy to discuss anything, including sexual issues / sexuality. If you feel like you could use some extra support or help working through a problem, please reach out! I am not taking live chats right now, but can message back and forth not live if useful. I'm a former ambassador and still happy to support listeners or offer a place to vent when needed even though I no longer hold any formal position beyond listener after stepping down from my leadership roles. If you see me in the forums, you'll know I have a few favorite quotes around recovery and strength that I throw around all the time, so I'll share them here, too. "You are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think" "Never forget you are worth more than the value you place on yourself." "Every day might not be a good day but there is good in every day." Much love to all, Anomalia

Hello, thank you for finding me on 7 cups! You can call me Rana, if that's easier! I'm a female in my mid 30s. I know how tough it can be to want to talk to someone about what you are feeling. I will try my best to listen to whatever problems you may be having, but my listening strengths are in general anxiety, social anxiety, grief, and disabilities. I've also dealt with self esteem issues. I can't guarantee solutions, only a shoulder to lean on when you need it and open ears to hear you out. Topics that I do not talk about: •Pregnancy •Childcare If my status is set to offline, please feel free to leave me a message and I will get back to you as soon as I can.

All previously held - On fairly long term break My Involvement Within 7 Cups  • Group Support Mentor Leader  I liaised with the adult group support community, group mentors and leaders to gather and potentially implement ideas from feedback aimed at improving the group support rooms. I also managed Room Supporter and Chatroom Moderator applications. • Global Chatroom Moderator + Listener Chatroom Mentor I help keep all of the adult, teen member group support rooms and listener rooms safe and inclusive environments. • Quality Mentor  I help improve listener quality across 7 cups by providing 1-1 mentoring to listeners. This could involve going through mock chats with them, answering any questions and supporting them through their listener journey wherever they may choose to go.  • Doorkeeper  I can open and close any group support room for valid reasons.  • Chat Supporter & Peer Supporter   I can guide and support listeners during ongoing chats if stuck with what to say or just need questions answered accurately. I also provide appropriate emotional support to listeners if they have had a tough or triggering chat.  • Safety Patrol Outreach Team Member  I am trained to reach out via PMs to accounts that have content that violates the community guidelines. I also grade the training that is done upon applying to become a safety patrol (SP) member. If you are an SP and are unsure if you should flag a profile, you can message me. • Safety Patrol I help keep the community safe by flagging user profiles which have content that goes against the community guidelines.   • Listener Chatroom Supporter I welcome new listeners and support the listener rooms in activity and inclusivity. • Listener Verifier  Whilst I'm no longer a 'Listener Verifier' I can still grade and verify mock chats within my Quality Mentor role. Community Mentor Leader  I have been mentor leader of the group support sub-community and mentor of the Newbie Hub community.  • Anonymous Evaluator  I anonymously evaluated listeners to ensure to the best of my ability that they were keeping appropriate and safe in 1-1 chats with members. • Support Team Leader  I co-started up the Support Room 24/7 Coverage project which is aimed at ensuring at least one available listener is there always to provide support to those entering.  • Academy Mentor  I used to remind trainees of the Leadership Development Program and other academy programs of their coursework submission deadlines and would support them to reach these deadlines if required. I also used to welcome trainees as they joined the program.  • Project Agent  I have been a project agent on many different projects including Listener Sharing Circle, Listener chatrooms, and group support sub-community. Meaning I helped to maintain projects relating to various different sections of 7 cups.  •Discussion Host  I regularly used to host discussions in the group chatrooms. These were usually in Self-Harm Recovery, Teen Listeners, Special Events, Listener & Member Sharing Circle, Mindfulness, Anxiety Support and others. • Care Team Member  I used to provide resources and peer support to new or in-need listeners to help them feel the best supported in their role as a listener. • Forum Supporter  I used to focus on regularly supporting the forums within the newbie hub, self-harm recovery and anxiety support sub-communities. (Included previous roles so that if anyone has any questions, they can message me about them, for information on the role, what it’s like etc)  → Some Awesome People  @Azalea98 [https://www.7cups.com/@Azalea98] is an awesome human, great mentor when I was a terrible listener, helped me become what I am today as a listener  @EmmaE [http://www.7cups.com/@EmmaE] is the best and is my listener twin for life 😃 @TayTayy - Tayyyy you've been a cool teenie ever since I first talked to you, like the first member I ever spoke to!

🌸 WELCOME! 🌸 I'm an experienced verified listener who is open minded, non-judgemental and I'm open to almost all topics. All I ask is that you respect my boundaries, such as my time constraints and/or my statuses (see at the bottom of bio). Whilst I support the topic of sexual health, this does not mean I am comfortable discussing kinks/fetishes, nor will I partake in anything of that nature either.  I cannot replace the role of a therapist/psychologist. If you feel that you need more support for your mental health condition or require advice, please reach out to a licensed professional. I am not able to support you during a crisis. If you feel you're experiencing a crisis, please contact a helpline here - https://www.7cups.com/crisis/ 🌸 AVAILABILITY 🌸 My time zone is GMT / BST. I am available to live chat for up to an hour at a time. I am open to arranging a time to chat if you'd like to chat for longer though! I work and am disabled, so my availability can vary quite a lot, which is why I'm much better at providing one off, short term support. However, I am happy for you to reach out to update me on what's been happening since we last spoke.  🌸 ABOUT ME  🌸 I'm in my late twenties, I have a cat who I adore and I spend a lot of my free time watching movies, cross stitching and playing video games. I live with multiple health conditions which makes life a little more challenging, but it means I can relate to members who are disabled or are living with chronic health conditions.  🌸 MY ROLES 🌸 + Anonymous Evaluations Team +  🌸 STATUSES 🌸S Online  I'm open to chatting/helping anyone, including listeners who might need some help with listening. Feel free to message me. Busy  You can request to chat, but I may not reply to your message or request, as I may be busy with other roles or helping others in chats.  Offline  I'm offline, having a self-care break, taking scheduled chats, supporting/hosting group discussions or unavailable to take personal requests. If I'm in a chatroom, please ask to send me a message. Being in a chatroom doesn't mean I'm available to take a 1-1 chat.
