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.

Hello, it's nice to meet you! I have a B.S. in Psychological Sciences and have plans to become a psychiatrist. I am in the EST time zone and am typically available at night. I take all chat topics, including casual chat and questions about the site!  Reaching out is the hardest part, but you've already taken the first step! If we talk, please leave me a review! I strive to better myself as I go through my journey as a 7Cups listener! 💮 -Please be patient and kind to your listener. We are not professionals and need you to meet us halfway.- -7Cups is not a crisis resource. If you find yourself in crisis, please contact crisis lines available in your country- "You will succeed in whatever you choose to do, and light will shine on the road ahead of you." •─────────•°•ʕ•ᴥ•ʔ•°•─────────• I currently do not have the capacity to take on more long-term members, but I will happily take one-off chats! For listeners: I do peer support - please PM me if you need! You will often catch me in the LSR 💘

Hello and welcome to my bio!! a bit about me? well my name is Jae and my pronouns are he/him Feel free to ask any questions or vent to me :D I also take casual chats if that’s what you prefer! i help mostly with those suffering with sh (specifically sh urges and unsupportive peers) and lgbtq+ issues (specifically gender dysphoria and unsupportive peers). Those are the two things i have and still do struggle with the most being a trans guy myself. I take chats on most things except sexual health or anything related to that and drug and alcohol addictions. (You don’t have to leave a review or feedback but it really makes me smile reading it and also it’s good to know on what exactly i can improve on). This is a safe place for everyone, so please don’t hesitate when reaching out for my help. Thank you for reading my bio and im looking forward to chatting with you, have a nice day! 🪴 If you have a specific thing you want to talk about for a longer period of time or would like a long term friend who you can vent to please feel free to send me a quick message and we can schedule a time and will give me some time to research on certain subjects those i haven’t personally experience. (let me know any triggers before the chat and i will definitely work around that to best support you). My listening technique is to listen completely to what you say, i never interrupt i wait until i see you’re no longer typing to then start typing my own response, i read thoroughly to ensure i am fully aware of what is being said to avoid misunderstandings, then i will support you through words and reassure you i also tend to ask questions just to help the conversation flow and to try and focus on what i can help you with or to guide you into helping yourself- if you do not like my technique it’s completely fine to tell me or find a different listener that carries what you need in a listener. Finally, i am going to say this straight on i know things may be difficult and you may be struggling but there is absolutely no need to be rude especially since this is me volunteering because i want to be there for you i don’t want abuse in return if there is something i say or do that you dislike you can let me know and we can work around that but if we can not or if you don’t let me know then if i cannot avoid that but you are welcome to request a different listener.
