Sometimes you just need someone to listen.
ExpressListen is a quiet, private space where adults can talk to a real person who is willing to listen. No real names, no photos, no judgement.
For adults aged 18 and over.
Three simple steps
- 1
Join with a nickname
Pick a nickname and a friendly animal. No real name, no photo, no phone number.
- 2
Choose a listener
See who is online and available, filter by English, Hindi or Marathi, and pick someone.
- 3
Talk at your own pace
Write whenever you like. They reply when they can, just like a messaging app.
Private by design
We keep as little about you as we can, and we are honest about what we keep.
Just a nickname
Others see only your nickname, a short ID and your animal. Your email is never shown to anyone.
Chats stay between you
Messages are encrypted on our servers and staff never read chats. Reports never include your messages.
Delete any time
Delete a chat for yourself or for both of you, or delete your whole account. Deleted messages are erased.
You stay in control
Block anyone quietly, report problems to a real person, and leave a conversation whenever you want.
Good at listening?
Anyone can become a listener after agreeing to our simple guidelines. Switch on “available” when you have time, and switch it off when you don't.
Not an emergency service
ExpressListen is for listening, not professional care. If you or someone else is in danger, please call now.
