Welcome to My Listener Profile on 7 Cups!

 

“There is a false saying: ‘How can someone who can't save himself save others?’ Supposing I have the key to your chains, why should your lock and my lock be the same?”

~Friedrich Nietzsche



Hello! I'm Joseph, a compassionate listener dedicated to offering a space where you can express yourself freely and feel genuinely heard. With a Bachelor’s degree in psychology and a deep personal understanding of the impact of being seen and heard, I am here to support you through your challenges and growth.

 


About Me

My journey into listening was inspired by transformative experiences in therapy, where I first felt truly understood. These experiences, combined with my educational background in psychology, have equipped me with a compassionate and empathetic approach. I aim to provide not just an ear, but a sanctuary for open and honest expression.

 


My Listening Philosophy

”Listening is an art of understanding and respecting the other’s experiences. My style integrates radical acceptance with empathy, maintaining a balance of professionalism and light-heartedness. I am here not to fix, but to understand and support. Inspired by Nietzsche, I believe that every individual’s emotional landscape is unique, and I tailor my approach to fit your needs.”
