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.

Thanks for checking out my profile. Sometimes all we need is someone to talk to. I've been around off and on since 2015, trying my best to use my own lived experiences to help others through their hard times. I’m a 24 year old happily married woman, raised in California and have found a forever home in Canada. Although knowledgeable and educated on all of my topics listed, I am most familiar with CPTSD, depression, anxiety, and ASD, as I share these diagnoses myself. Please do not message me looking for any kind of sexual/ romantic/ intimate interactions. Open to long- term member/ listener connections.

Hi! Glad you found me here at 7cupsoftea. I have survived many obstacles during my time, with that I learned that someone that would listen is valuable treasure and so I am here to listen and help you. I have learned to enjoy the good things you get from life like reading, music, anime and manga. I am very opened minded, as it is not my place to give opinions or judge what anyone is going through or how they choose to lead their life. My firm belief is that we all have the strength to create our own happiness. So anything you want to relate long days, work stress, and anything else you need a listening ear for. I am here for you.

Türkçe destek vermek benim için çok daha konforlu, ulaşmaktan çekinmeyin. I am a student of psychological counseling and guidance. You can contact me without hesitation. (Please take a look at my topics) I'm working by appointment, so we must arrange a session first. I'm not promising professional help because I haven't graduated yet. I work in 7 cups and voluntarily, I do not charge any fees for my sessions. Mutual understanding, respect, and effort are essential in my sessions.

Hey! I'm Emily. I'm 28 years old and live in Georgia, US. Professionally, I'm a data scientist and have a background in analytics and mathematics. I'm currently a PhD student and enjoy talking with people and learning about different lived experiences. Outside of work and student life, I'm a musician and a writer. I'm the oldest sister of three, and I live with my husband of four years and our three cats, several fish, and a snail. I joined as a listener because I found support here as a member and wanted to give back, so I'm happy to hear you out and give you a safe space to share what's on your mind. :) Most comfortable topics would be student/work stress, sexual health, and relationship stress.  Topics I can't discuss are eating disorders, weight management, addiction, and dissociative disorders.  Leave a message, and I'll get back to you when I can!

Please note: I am taking an extended break from 7 Cups. To find a listener click the Browse Listeners [https://www.7cups.com/BrowseListeners/]. Currently online listeners will have a green dot, but please read their profile first to ensure they are taking new chats. Urgent requests should be made by joining the queue and the next available listener will get back to you as soon as possible. ----- 🌟 Hiya! I'm Marina! 😊🌟 I am currently offline. ✨ A bit about me: I'm 22 and a university student, blessed with two adorable dogs who fill my days with joy and wagging tails. I have a love for poetry, getting lost in the pages of a good book, the depth of feeling and rhythm of music, creating art through sewing and painting, and those delightful, meandering conversations about the mysteries and curiosities of life. I’m a huge Doctor Who enthusiast, so if you ever throw a quote my way, it’ll never be lost on me. (Hopefully, this may give you an idea if you're searching for more casual conversation.) Please feel free to send me any recommendations! I promise to always make time to listen, read, or watch. 😊 I’m so glad you’re here. I'm deeply passionate about listening, understanding, and being there for others. As an active listener with 7 Cups, I believe that everyone deserves to feel heard and cared for in a safe, non-judgmental space. My goal is to be that supportive presence for you, and hopefully, to help you make sense of your emotions and leave here in a more positive and empowered state. I'm dedicated to self-improvement and continuous development, and I'm currently undertaking both the 7 Cups Internship and the Leadership Development Program and have previously undertaken the Quality Listening Program, where I’ve had the chance to grow as a listener and develop skills to support you better. I’m also a part of the Academy Outreach for the Leadership Development Program. 💬 How I can support you: Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed, struggling with self-doubt, or simply need someone to chat with, I’m here to listen. I’m not here to give advice or judge; my role is to walk beside you on your journey and help you feel understood. 🌸 Remember: You’re never alone, and it’s perfectly okay to reach out for help. I’m here whenever you need to share or just need a calming presence. Take care, and I hope to connect with you soon. 💜 Marina 😊
