Chat services are accessible to anyone and can quickly reach out to a trained, compassionate listener through the 7 Cups network. 7 Cups also offers to connect you to a therapist if you are in need or interested.
People connect with listeners on 7 Cups of Tea for all kinds of reasons, from big existential thoughts to small, day-to-day things that we all experience. Unlike talking to family or friends, a 7 Cups of Tea listener doesn't judge or try to solve problems and say what to do. Our listeners just listen. They understand. They give you the space you need to help you clear your head.
Can be accessed anywhere there is an internet connection.
