Someone to talk to — for as long as you need
A real person on camera who listens, stays with you, and doesn’t get bored, busy or tired of you. Talk about anything — or about nothing at all.
What your listener won’t do
Won’t leave in the middleNo “sorry, I have to go”. In a private call she stays as long as you want — you decide when it ends.
Won’t get bored of youTell the same story three times. Listening to you is the whole point — not a favour.
Won’t ask you to entertain herNo small talk you have to keep up, no “so how was MY day”. The time is yours.
Won’t judge or lectureNo “I told you so”, no advice you didn’t ask for. Only if you want another view.
Won’t tell anyone you knowShe doesn’t know your friends, your family or your boss. What you say stays between you two.
Won’t make you waitNo forms, no waiting list, no appointment next Tuesday. Listeners are live right now.

Questions
Who can I talk to when I have no one?
A SovaTalk listener — a real person streaming live on video right now. Watching and chatting in her room is free; a private 1-on-1 call is paid per minute.
How long can I talk?
As long as you need. In a private call you decide when it ends; the listener won’t rush you or end it because she’s tired.
Is it a therapist?
No. Listeners are kind, ordinary people — peer support, not therapy or medical advice. Many people find that being heard is exactly what they needed.
Do I need to show my face?
No. In a room only the listener is on camera. In a private call you can keep your camera off the whole time.
Is it private?
Your listener doesn’t know your friends or family. A private call is only the two of you.
What if I don’t know what to say?
Say “hi” and see what happens — or just watch for a while. You can also just sit together without talking.
SovaTalk listeners offer company and peer support, not therapy or medical care. If you might hurt yourself or someone else, call or text 988 in the US (or your local emergency number) right now.
