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.

I’m a psychology student, going through my own stuff in life, but I’ll try to help as much as I can. And you can be sure that whatever you message me, I will not jump to conclusions and report you without an adequate reason (since it happened to me on this app).

Nobody should feel that they are alone and have no one to talk to. Just want to lend a helping hand and hope I can help make someone's day :) I just graduated and earned my Doctor of Physical Therapy degree! I am very easy-going and laid back, and I hope to make a positive impact and difference in people's lives.

NOTE: If my availability is red/offline, I am not available to chat "live"; feel free to leave a message! {48; she/her} Long - time listener with a focus on anxiety and depression. These days, I am most interested in helping people with getting "unstuck," because that is something that can be incredibly empowering; but also really hard when you've been worn down by depression or anxiety (or any hardship, really). I love how 7 Cups helps people to be there for each other, and will do my best to help you find the tools that work best for you in your own journey.  💜

Online: Most Tuesdays* & Sundays Hi, my name is Jonah and I'm a recovering addict. The premise of this account is to connect with and foster some sort of community where we can not only share our stories, talk openly about our struggles, and hold each other accountable on this journey but to also offer each other some grace and understanding alongside that. With all that in mind, while I am open to more casual chat, I prefer to take chat requests related to topics I have direct lived experience with. If you're looking to maybe connect with a kind, non-judgmental listener that shares similar experiences with addiction/recovery (alcohol/drug abuse) and doesn't act like 'their sh*t don't stink' either. Feel free to reach out to me even if my status icon is red and I'll get back to you when I can. If by chance I'm unable to, don't take offense, there are loads of seasoned and keen listeners on here who can. I care about you, I respect your needs, and I want to listen to your story even if I can't always empathize. All I ask in return is that you approach the space with a fair amount of respect, for both me and my time, and I'll extend the same courtesy back to you.  ð¤²Much love, Jonah.

Heya! My name is Azureka and I love to help others based on what you’re feeling and the mental or physical health challenges you may face! I find it extremely important that when significant life events occur, you’re never alone. I want to be the person that shows you that suffering pain doesn’t have to be dealt with by yourself and there are people who care about you and find your feelings valid. I want to help ensure that your suffering wouldn’t last for long and that there’s always someone out there who care about you and wants to help. Not only help in that moment but also show you how to cope with challenges even after the fact! It’s true that life events can leave long-lasting stains on your health and I want to work towards making it better! Thank you for reading and I hope you enjoy my listening services!

Hello there! I'm a recent graduate from vet college, but let's be real, there's nothing interesting about me. What really matters is you and what's on your mind. Whether it's something big or small, I'm here to lend an ear and offer support however I can 🙃 No matter what's weighing on your mind, know that your feelings are valid and deserving of attention. I genuinely enjoy connecting with each and every one of you. So go ahead and reach out to me. I'm here with an open heart and a listening ear, ready to walk alongside you through whatever you're facing 🙂 Looking forward to hearing from you!
