Bio
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.

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 :) .

Mr. Ess is someone who listens without judgment whatsoever. That's the best part of him. He know exactly what he's doing and he's so good at it. I feel safe and calm everytime I talked to him. Thank you so much, Mr. Ess, God bless your kind heart ❤
David is a great listener. He is so wise, patient, and non-judgmental. I enjoy talking to him. Thanks a lot, David!
So good at listening! thank you
David really listens and dedicates his time, listening to only one person. Non judgemental, which I appreciate. And he doesn't consider my problems any less than someone else's. I really appreciate him taking out the time to help people and I'll tell you what's more, he follows up. He is not a magical genie. But he will listen and help you where he can.
I think I'm lucky to be able to speak to David. He's a great listener. Thank you so much, David!
I cannot put in words how much this chat helped me! They're an amazing listener and it really felt as if I was talking to a friend. Made me feel better and helped me make sense of my thoughts. They're very open and I really appreciated all their insights which really got me thinking! They really helped me by putting exactly how I was feeling in words. Best listener I've had the pleasure to talk to :)
Imagine having a good friend talking with you over a cup of coffee or tea in a rainy afternoon. It's warming your heart and just gives you hope. Thank you, Sir, God bless you!

Is patient and willing to listen
Such a great listener, so understanding, helps you work through thoughts and feelings. So wise and caring, patient. I highly recommend. If you try only one listener it should be David.
It was an absolute, absolute pleasure speaking with David. He gave me his undivided attention, was very generous, extremely understanding and SO reassuring in his comments. Really, one of the best chats I had here; thank you so much David.
Fantastic listener. Very patient and empathetic. Listened to me for the longest time, asking the right questions and providing insight and resources where needed. I felt much more at peace afterwards, and with a renewed sense of direction in my life.
Opened up my mind.
Splendid listener! Very attentive, nice and easy to talk to. It's more like talking to a friend!
Thank you for the experience.
The listener sounded very wise and friendly.
He was very helpful and full of insights. He's really a great listener. He's very patient also. He sees to it to get what i am it trying to say even if i myself can't find the words to say but he gets it. he gets me. He's amazing.
Decent gentleman, great conversation, appreciate people like him, making the world a better place.
one of the best listeners on the app
he replies when he can and genuinely listens and cares
he understands my situation and rather than just brushing it off, he's there .. listens and is very helpful
I feel so much better after talking with you. Thanks!
I can’t begin to tell you how much you helped me today. I was in a really desperate place and you helped so much. What a kind, professional man that totally understood me. A true gentleman. Thank you!
Very compassionate and understanding. Really starting to help me see things clearer. 5 Star for sure!
David has been a great and so caring. I actually feel better and have some of my sense of humor back. He’s helped me get out of bed and start a productive day. And even inspired me a bit to help others.
He couldn't be nicer..he understood my problem pretty well and really got to the depth of my problem and gave me appropriate solutions..thanks again :)
very helpful and understanding listener
he is great. patient, calm and composed. a must try for everyone.
Thank you :)
loved the support he gave by listening to the whole issue. He actually tries to relate your issue with the practical experience he had or the learnings obtained througout. A must try man (sir) with a practical outlook on your problems. bluntness is one of the characteristic which is needed and he has it.
They are very helpful and I feel they are truly concerned about me.
a great, insightful listener
