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! I'm from the UK. I'm very happy to reply to your messages when I'm online (like a text chat) , or for us to arrange a 45min session - your choice! For a session let me know when you are free, days, times, and your time zone, and we'll set something up. I am a senior, and I particularly enjoy working with adults (not teens) who are sincere about their own personal development.   I should tell you that I work with most people well, but I do have some doubts about online-only romantic relationships (I don't think they are a substitute for physical contact, basically, and can even be a way of avoiding intimacy), so if that is what you want to talk about, that's fine, but do please be aware of my views (Difficulties in online romantic relationships come up a lot on 7C, and, in my view, there are good reasons for that). My hobbies include reading, playing and listening to music, meditation and TaiChi. I also waste a lot of time,  which you can help me fill usefully ! I am spiritually minded, and I do not believe any religion or atheism is the one true way. I am happy to answer  your questions about this, however this quote may help you to "place" me, if you need to. There are three truths which are absolute, and which cannot be lost, but yet may remain silent for lack of speech.  * The soul of man is immortal, and its future is the future of a thing whose growth and splendor has no limit.   *The principle which gives life dwells in us, and without us, is undying and eternally beneficent, is not heard or seen or smelt, but can be perceived by the man or woman who desires perception.   *Each man and woman is his own absolute lawgiver, the dispenser of glory or gloom to himself; the decreer of his life, his reward, his punishment.  These truths, which are as great as is life itself, are as simple as the simplest mind of man. Feed the hungry with them. (The Three Truths - from The Idyll of the White Lotus by Mabel Collins) I have no connection whatever to any other DavidEss on the www, this username is unique to Sevencups..I would also like to emphasise that I have nothing to advertise or promote apart from my presence and awareness :) .

Some years ago, I was in a very dark place. I wish I had someone to talk to, at least so that I could feel less lonely in this world. I've overcome a lot of struggles completely alone, but now I'm here to be the help I've never had. Everyone should use some help fighting their struggles, and that's why I'm here: I want to help you by listening to you and giving you all the support I can give. If I'm online, then please feel free to start a chat. If I'm offline, then send me a message and we can set up a time to contact. Glad you are here! Please don't ask me for sex chats, my personal phone number or social media profiles. I've been asked too many times and I always refused because of some past experience, so I'd rather you didn't ask. Thank you.

 Hello! My name is Heather and helping others has always been a passion of mine. When I accept 1-on-1 chats, I mainly accept loneliness & anxiety chats as those two topics I have much life experience in.  Unfortunately, mental health care is expensive and I understand the struggle. Even though I volunteer and can't provide any advice or solutions, I want members to feel at ease knowing they have someone who cares and will listen and not have to stress about paying a professional.   I do not accept sexual health or inappropriate chats.   I do accept casual chats  Availability Mentees: I check in on messages multiple times a day.  1 on 1 chat: occasionally accept chats as I work 5/6 days a week.
