How The Venting Spot Works

Getting support shouldn't be complicated. In just a few simple steps, you can connect with someone who truly listens.

01

Find Your Perfect Match

Browse through our community of verified listeners. Filter by specialty, language, availability, and more. Read reviews and listen to voice introductions to find someone who resonates with you.

02

Book a Session

Choose a time that works for you. Select your preferred session duration (15, 30, or 60 minutes) and whether you want an audio or video call. Add any notes to help your listener prepare.

03

Connect & Talk

Join your session from any device. Your listener will be there, ready to give you their full attention. No interruptions, no advice unless you want it—just genuine listening.

04

Feel Lighter

After your session, you'll have the option to leave feedback and book again with the same listener. Many users report feeling significantly lighter after just one conversation.

FAQ

Common Questions

Is it really anonymous?

+

Yes! You can use any display name you want. We don't require real names, phone verification, or any identifying information. Your conversations are private and encrypted.

What's the difference between peer listeners and therapists?

+

Peer listeners are trained volunteers who provide empathetic listening and emotional support. They're great for everyday stress, venting, or just having someone to talk to. Licensed therapists are mental health professionals who can provide clinical guidance, diagnoses, and treatment plans.

How do I pay?

+

We use Razorpay for secure payments. You can pay with credit/debit cards, UPI, or net banking. Payment is processed only after you book a session, and you're charged per minute based on the duration you select.

What if I don't connect with my listener?

+

That's okay! Not every match is perfect. You can try a different listener at any time. If you're truly unsatisfied with a session, contact our support team and we'll work with you to make it right.

Is this a replacement for therapy?

+

Peer listening is not therapy and is not meant to replace professional mental health treatment. However, it can be a valuable complement to therapy or a helpful first step for those who aren't ready for formal treatment. If you're in crisis, please use our SOS button to access emergency resources.
