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.

**Please note: I use the app on my phone rather than the website, and a lot of the time I don’t get notifications or it will say that I’m online when I’m not using the app! I apologise if I don’t accept your request/get back to you super fast - I am trying to fix it but it seems to be an issue with my phone. I will always try and get back to you as soon as I can. Hello all, Thank you for viewing my profile or choosing to connect with me, whichever the case! My names Abi, and I’m a 23 year old from the UK who works a boring 9-5 and loves to chat to absolutely anybody 🥰 I’ve been a listener here since 2020, and more recently became a verified listener! I am happy to discuss most topics, however I will not discuss anything sexual, or to do with addiction or relationships. I am more experienced around the topics of ADHD and anxiety, as these are both things which impact my daily life. I am also a qualified personal trainer - whilst I cannot advise on 7 cups, I am happy to discuss any fitness/weight management queries you may have. Please don’t hesitate to stop by and have a chat! Peace and love. 🧿🪬🤍

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.
