Frequently Asked Questions

What is emotional support?
Emotional support means having someone listen, understand, and validate your feelings without judgment. Research shows it is one of the strongest predictors of mental wellbeing and recovery.
How do I get emotional support online in India?
Sign up on LeanOn with your phone number (OTP, 30 seconds), browse verified peer listeners, and start a session instantly. First 5 minutes free. Sessions from ₹165 for 15 minutes.
Is peer emotional support different from therapy?
Yes. Therapy is clinical — licensed professionals for diagnosis and treatment. Peer support is human — people who have lived through the same challenges. Both valuable, but for different needs.
What topics does LeanOn cover?
Loneliness, anxiety, burnout, grief, breakups, relationship stress, career confusion, student stress, startup challenges, and general emotional support.
Is online emotional support anonymous?
On LeanOn, you sign up with your phone and first name only. Full name never shared. Sessions private and confidential — ideal for joint families and privacy-sensitive situations.
