I am a listener on this site and I must say, this site is a wonderful platform. As a listener, I talk to people, try and help through their problems. But I can also talk to other listeners when I feel like I need to talk to someone. It's a great site if you want to share your problems and concerns and remain anonymous at the same time. I would 100% recommend this site.

There is little or no support for listeners and even though we have the ability to block ppl it does absolutely nothing.
In fact all it does is make them more determined to annoy other listeners and the only support that is offerd is a peer supporter.
The badges look pretty but mean absolutely nothing and yet ppl use them as power to mock or be little other listeners.
The bigwigs are all neo natzis and if u dare question them they make u fell like $#*!.

I have used 7 cups for 2 years now. I have had some really great listeners to talk to, but each time I have tried their community chats it sucked. There was a man who messaged that he was thinking of killing himself and no one even listened or replied out of 16 people except me. They were busy talking about cats than attempting to help someone in a crisis. As for myself I have tried 3 time to talk about my issue to the community because I wanted help form others that aren't a listener. Not one single person said anything, it was like I was invisible and it upset me because I finally built the courage to type it out then I was ignored.

Love it!
August 5, 2021

Truly rewarding experience as a Listener. And they are constantly improving training with many courses to improve expertise. Great support for Listeners too.
Wonderful place to work. Experience is very good also if you already have a background in psychology etc. Nothing better than helping others.

Free online therapy
August 1, 2021

A great site for people who are seeking emotional support from someone who is willing to take the time to listen. However, there are some listeners and members who say inappropriate things whom i call the internet trolls. I guess it shows how open and inclusive this website really is.

The training modules that listeners are required to complete is informative and seems professional.

Overall, great experience as a listener and has helped me become a more compassionate person. I would really like to see this website grow and become better by monitoring volunteer listeners and providing required training modules on a regular basis to maintain standards.

7cups has been very beneficial for me. The Professional Therapy is top class, you can choose your own Psychologist to meet with, and you can also chat for free with Trained Listeners. The website offers support for different kind of person and their conditions, conversations become meaningful and can help us realize things, or at least feel heard and supported.

Mixed feelings
July 25, 2021

I have attempted to use this website for free therapy and their internship program as a listener twice in the past. It was too demanding. I was not into it. I was going through a tough time in my life at the time. I am once again using it to build up my skills so that I can use it on resume and in my cover letters. I am trying to stick to it this time and get as much use out it as possible.

I'm really grateful for this website. I often feel down and am currently not in the best mental state. However, I don't have the most supportive parents to talk to, so whenever I'm upset, or need desperate help, I go onto this website and am able to feel welcome with people I don't even know. This website has so many features, and it's a great place to go onto when I need someone.

A good reality call
July 20, 2021

7 cups made me realise of the problems people face in real life. A good reality call that made me realise how insignificant my problems could be and how i could i help people and make their days better by just listening. I don't know about others, but i make sure to hear people with whatever problems they present.

I'm a listener at 7 cups and I'm giving it a 3 star rating for the following reasons.

Pros: It is a free help resource with active listeners 24/7 for people to talk to about their anxieties and problems. There are also free programs listeners can take to enhance their listening skills. This platform has the potential to grow and do a lot of good. There is also paid therapy as an option but I do not know of the quality of the professional therapists.

Cons: It is a bit too easy to become a listener. I feel the verified and quality listening tracks should be mandatory rather than optional.
The anonymity factor creates potential opportunities for trolls (esp. Sexual predators and trolls who make up a story and then use the listener for their own gratification), with not much way to blacklist and prevent them from creating multiple accounts and repeating the same thing. I have also encountered members who have met abusive or unresponsive listeners who are judgemental to their problems and or too generic in their responses. You can also read about such experiences in the lesser starred reviews. Also I feel listeners should be at least be 21 and above.

I found 7cups while searching for a therapist near me. I had searched for help for depression before and nothing I had found that actually helped me. But finding 7cups was different. When I joined the 7cups community, I felt appreciated and cared for like never before in my life. I felt like my life suddenly got a whole new meaning. I think the best part of being a listener in 7cups is that you realise that everyone in the world has lot of Things in common, no matter how different we seem to be. The next best thing, is the people you meet on 7cups, they might not necessarily be in your life for long, but they are soo incredible that you never forget meeting them. I can never be grateful enough to 7cups for every good thing it has brought in my life.

GREAT PLACE TO VENT
July 13, 2021

I've used 7 cups a couple of years ago and loved it. I've had to get back to it because of everything that has been happening in the world and personal stressors/anxieties. The listeners are great and very compassionate. The groups are even better. I always come here when I'm feeling down, depressed, angry... whatever emotions I'm feeling, I know I can come here and be validated.
