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.

"Nothing Remains The Same" لا شئ يدوم للابد  Hello all, My name is Ahmad and everyone I know calls me "Darweesh", I live in Cairo however I am connected to many parts of the world through my work which by fact describes me as a problem solver who must be a good listener to know what is the problem and what is the best way to resolve it. I have discovered that life is a series of events that we must deal with whether they were good or bad and I have been through a long series of unfortunate events that could break me apart but because of faith and belief in something bigger and with the help of others who were sometimes complete strangers I have survived and still. I was randomly looking through keywords about group therapy online or group chat rooms as a way to communicate with others in my free time and I have found "7 Cups of Tea" I truly liked the idea and I decided to create a Listener account at the moment I checked into the account. The reason for this that I really like to listen from others because I know listening does matter to everyone, I was listening to many friends from Egypt and outside of Egypt who faced real hard times, and I was fortunate to join them passing this hard time. I am so glad to be here, and I will be more glad if I received requests from you to listen from you. you may not find me available online for sometime but I will make sure to reach you back if you left me a message. Thanks for stopping by :)

Hello! :) I am here to help out anyone that I can because I know what bad days feel like. I have been through some tough times myself. I'll be understanding and supportive. I won't judge and I'll be your friend. I love listening to music, colouring, photography, meditation, writing. I wouldn't use the word 'and' while telling you about the things I love because it would suggest an end to the list. If I am online, feel free to contact me. If I am not available at the moment, leave me a message and I'll get back to you ASAP. Follow me for inspirational images and quotes. Remember to keep your head high and don't ever give up. Keep believing because tomorrow will be a better day. :)

Hello! I'm really glad you've made that first step to come to 7 Cups and I'm glad you're seeking someone to talk to. I'm a trained active listener here at 7 Cups. I also have a diploma in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and CPD-accredited qualifications in counselling and psychotherapy as well as a Level 4 Advanced Psychology qualification. I would like to help anyone struggling with depression, anxiety, borderline personality disorder, bullying, abuse, self harm, eating disorders and suicidal ideation. Whatever the problem, I'm here to listen to you. I've overcome a lot myself, which is why I want to make a difference to your life today and give you an ear to listen. In my spare time I write poetry and fiction, and am an activist in animal rights and an advocate for mental health. If I am online, please feel free to start a chat.
