EMOTIONAL SUPPORT ON DEMAND:
Feeling stressed, anxious, or depressed? Having relationship problems? Sometimes you need to vent. Finding and scheduling a therapist can be time-consuming and expensive, and you can’t always open up to friends, family, or coworkers.

Now you can get emotional support anytime, anywhere with 7 Cups. This app gives you the help you need, fast and free, in a way that fits your life.

• Connect anytime, anywhere with listeners who care
• Speak your mind without any fear of being judged
• All listeners trained in active listening
• Compatible with iPhone, iPad, and iPod Touch

We start you on a “growth path” that will encourage and support you as you take daily steps to become stronger.

IN THE MEDIA:
Founded by a licensed psychologist, 7 Cups has been featured in LifeHacker (“Technology can help you find someone to chat with about your problems to, or even connect you with a professional that can offer lasting, long-term help”), Medical Daily (“Talking therapy for people on-the-go”), and TechCrunch (“One of the top 8 startups from Y Combinator’s Summer ’13 Demo Day”).

100% CONFIDENTIAL:
Remain 100% anonymous. No one will ever know who you are—not even your listeners or therapists.

LISTENERS WHO CARE:
Our listeners are volunteers. They aren’t getting paid; they’re here because they want to help.

They care.

We have over 450,000 trained listeners and licensed therapists to choose from. Listeners provide support across 189 countries and in 140 languages. Each listener has a profile with reviews and a list of categories that they specialize in, ranging from panic attacks and bullying to eating disorders, surviving a breakup, and more.

When you find the listener you want, connect instantly via chat. Try a new listener each time, or pick one listener and develop a deeper ongoing relationship.

FAST & FREE:
The app is free to download, and all listeners are 100% free. After you download the app, you can start a conversation in less than 60 seconds.

I became a listener about a year ago and have spent a lot of time on this great app. It gives you the opportunity to connect with people wanting support and to give you the opportunity to help them. It has also given me the opportunity to grow as a person where I have completed some academy programs and gained roles such as becoming a mentor. I would suggest that the quality of listeners vary a lot. The training that listeners need to do is also very limited with just 30 mins of into training.

In the past week app will just not open, members are waiting for reply for days which is frustrating and counter productive. There has been an issue with app notifications for months , and with email notifications going into spam there is no way of knowing someone messaged you. Please take personal security seriously, there has been so many cases of listeners requesting personal details with doubtful intentions whilst it is against rules. Free basis allows for predators abusing the platform

This was far from the experience I was hoping for. The "listeners" on the app are just other people. Youre better off offloading with your neighbour. They are described as "trained" which gives the impression that they are to some extent professional, but I did not perceive that from anyone I spoke to. For example, when I summarised what I wanted to talk about in a paragraph similar to this length and the "listener" replied "that's so long :-P". Gee, thanks, I feel so much better. only the start.
