Loneliness isn't just being alone.
It's feeling unheard.

Even surrounded by people, many of us feel disconnected. Our days go unshared. The small victories, the funny moments, the thoughts we want to explore—they stay inside because there's no one there to really listen.

1 in 6 people worldwide feel lonely

60% feel no one truly knows them

What our members say

I used to go days without a proper conversation. Now I look forward to my Thursday chat with Anne. She remembers everything—my grandkids, my garden, even the recipe I tried last week. It's like having a friend who's always there.

Margaret, 72 Weekly member for 8 months

I signed Mum up because I live interstate and worry about her being alone. Now she has someone to share her week with, and I have peace of mind. The updates they send me are wonderful too.

Emma Daughter of CuppaX member

After my wife passed, the house got very quiet. CuppaX isn't therapy—it's just someone to share a cuppa with, talk about the footy, remember the good times. That's exactly what I needed.

Questions? We've got answers

No. CuppaX is not therapy, counselling, or a mental health service. We don't diagnose, treat, or give advice. We're simply here for friendly, heartfelt conversation—like chatting with a trusted friend over a cuppa. If you need professional mental health support, we encourage you to speak with a qualified professional.

Every Connector undergoes rigorous screening: national police checks, Working With Children clearance, reference checks, and in-depth interviews. Many have professional backgrounds in hospitality, aged care, teaching, or counselling. After every chat, clients rate their Connector—ensuring quality stays high.

No problem at all! We'll match you with someone new, free of charge. Connection is personal, and we want you to find the right fit. Just let us know and we'll arrange a new match within 24 hours.

Absolutely. Many of our members are signed up by adult children who want their parents to have regular connection. You'll get access to our family portal with updates about how the chats are going (with your loved one's permission, of course).
