7cups is a self-help application that we believe is helpful for people looking for support that's free and convenient. (Psst, we are not affiliated with this app) Using the app, you can chat to trained listeners (for free) and also have the option to talk to a therapist (behind a 150$/month paywall). It is important to note that it's not primarily set to be a therapy replacement. Available on Apple store and Google Playstore.
