YourDOST is an online emotional support platform that is designed to foster mental wellness through online counselling. If you are in need of a listening ear, you can share all your concerns with someone anonymous who would listen without being judgmental and provide you expert emotional advice and support.

YourDOST is the brainchild of Richa Singh and Puneet Manuja who have co-founded the platform so that stressed people can connect with the right expert from a rich panel of psychologists, psychotherapist, life coaches, counsellors and career coaches in completely confidential individual sessions.
