Counsel

वकील आप लोगों के ज्ञान का उपयोग कर जीवन में बेहतर निर्णय लेने में मदद करता है।

Counsel is a social app that lets you post questions to seek unbiased advice and opinions. Have any problem in life? Ask helpful people and answers in real time. Also, you can privately chat with them to seek deeper responses.

A single human being may not have enough wisdom and experience to make the best decisions but if you combine the wealth of knowledge that mankind has gained as a species, we can make better decisions which will lead to a better life. Counsel is an attempt to bring back that human touch that is slowly disappearing with the integration of more and more technology in our lives. We urge you to not just seek help but also to share your experiences with others and help them.

We aim to be the global platform for emotional wellness.

We reward you for helping other people. You can either chat with them or leave a comment.

Feeling low or depressed? Talking to supportive people can help. Sometimes, all we need is an assurance from someone but we may not always have someone around us to give us that support. Counsel is a community where you can seek advice and answers from people and also help others with your own wisdom and experience.

You can think of it like a new age and personal Yahoo answers or Quora. Some of the community members have pursued masters education in psychology, psychotherapy and counselling. What's more? You can post as well as chat anonymously so that you can discuss your problems and life issues without having to reveal your identity.

If you have any feedback or issues with the app, you can email us at [email protected] and we will get back to you as soon as we can.

PLEASE NOTE : This app is not a suicide helpline. If you are feeling suicidal we suggest you to reach out to helplines in your area and your friends and family. We are not responsible or liable for any response given on the platform. Please remember to apply your good judgement.
