About Dilkhol

Nobody should have to carry it alone.

A therapist when you need help, a listener when you need to talk, and people who've been there when you need to know you're not alone.

Dilkhol is a mental well-being platform, built in India and open to anyone. Book a private session with a verified therapist, talk it out with a good listener, or soon, find a community of people who understand.

Everyone is welcome here, whoever you are and whoever you love. All you need is to be 18 or older.

What we offer

Three ways to open your heart

Therapy

Talk to a therapist

Private video sessions with verified therapists, in your language. For when you want help working something through.

Not therapy

Suno

Talk it out. When you need to talk and your friends aren't around, a good listener hears you out like a friend would. No advice, no judgement. Completely private: you never share your number, and calls are never recorded.

Community

Join free. Share what you're going through, answer someone else's question, or tell how you got through it. Moderated, with a therapist keeping it safe.

Listeners and community members aren't therapists. They're here to hear you and stand with you. When you need professional help, a therapist is one tap away.

What we promise

Private by design. Human at heart.

We never record a session or a call

And we never store what's said.

Your number stays yours

Therapists and listeners never see your phone number or email. Nothing is shared with family, college or work.

Switch anytime, no questions

Didn't click with someone? Book someone else. Nobody asks why.

The price before you book

Each therapist's fee is on their profile. Free cancellation up to 24 hours before.

What Dilkhol is, and isn't

Not an emergency service14416

Therapists and listeners are different

Therapists are qualified professionals. Suno listeners are there to listen, not to treat. We'll always point you to the right one.

We keep only what we need to book and pay, never what's said. Read the privacy policy.

Who we are

The people behind Dilkhol

Dilkhol was started, and is run, by a small group of IIM graduates who believe nobody should have to carry it alone.

We started with therapy, added Suno for the days you just need to talk, and are growing into a community where people help each other heal. Every therapist on Dilkhol is approved by us, one by one.

Questions about Dilkhol

Good to know

Is Dilkhol only for people in India?

No. Dilkhol is built in India and open to anyone. Our therapists are based in India and sessions happen online, so you can join from anywhere.

Is Suno the same as therapy?

No. Suno listeners are everyday people chosen for how well they listen, like a good friend would, without advice or judgement. They don't diagnose or treat. If you'd like professional help, book a therapist.

Will anyone see my phone number?

No. Therapists and listeners never see your phone number or email, and sessions and calls are never recorded.

How much does it cost?

Each therapist sets their own fee, shown on their profile before you book. Nothing is charged until you confirm a time.

How do I know a therapist is qualified?

We check every therapist's qualifications, RCI registration where it applies, and ID, and talk to them before they go live.

What if I'm in crisis right now?

Dilkhol isn't an emergency service. Call Tele-MANAS on 14416 (free, 24x7), or 112 if someone is in danger.

Ready when you are.

Start wherever feels right today.
