For work stress

Don't take the toxic emails home with you.

A 15-minute "release valve" before you hit a breaking point.

Your boss won't listen, but we will. The first 15 minutes are your 'rage-room', free of cost. Scream, cry, or just vent the Monday blues. If you feel lighter, keep talking. If you feel lighter after the free 15, keep talking at ₹5 per minute. Give your brain the break it deserves.

You might be here because...

These are the things people actually say in the first five minutes of a Sunno session. If any of them are on your shoulders, start here.

My manager makes me dread Mondays.
I got passed over for a promotion, again.
I'm burnt out but I can't say it out loud.
I hate my job but I can't afford to quit.
I cried in the office bathroom today.
I don't know if it's me or the team.

How Sunno helps

Not a coach, not an EAP, not your spouse who's heard this story five times. A trained Buddy whose only job is to listen.

01

Completely off the record

Sunno has no connection to your employer. No notes, no reports, no feedback to anyone. What you say stays inside the session.

02

Book it around your workday

Lunch break, before a review, after a brutal Tuesday, 11pm the night before quitting. Sessions start in five minutes.

03

Audio or video, discreet

Audio with headphones works from your desk, from your car, from a stairwell. Video when you want to see a face.

04

No advice, no career-coaching

Buddies don't tell you to quit, negotiate, or hustle harder. They listen while you sort out what you actually want.

Real conversations, real people

What callers have told us after their session. First names only, nothing else shared.

I had a panic attack before a review. I called during my lunch break. I got through the review.

Karthik Bangalore

I'd been silently hating my job for two years. Two sessions in, I realized I didn't hate my job, I hated my manager.

Meera Pune

Sometimes you just need to say "my boss is terrible" out loud to someone who isn't your spouse.

Vikram Gurugram

I don't want a therapist. I just wanted to process a bad day.

Anjali Chennai

They restructured and my role disappeared. I had 45 minutes on a Tuesday to not be the strong one.

Nikhil Mumbai

I was scared to admit I wanted to quit. Saying it out loud to a Buddy made it real, and manageable.

Shruti Delhi

Buddies who've worked in corporate too

Request a Buddy with experience in your industry, tech, consulting, finance, creative, so you don't have to explain your job from scratch.

Questions people ask about work conversations

Specific to workplace topics. If it's not listed, ask your Buddy at the start of the session.

How does the Sunno free trial work?
Sunno runs on a "try before you buy" model. The first 15 minutes of any emotional-support call are free. You talk to a real human listener anonymously, with no card on file, and you decide if it's a fit. After 15 minutes, you pay ₹5 per minute, billed by the minute. The first 15 minutes are a permanent gift, on every call.
Are Sunno sessions recorded?
Yes. Every Sunno session is audio-recorded for quality assurance and Buddy training. Recordings are stored on encrypted systems with restricted access, and are automatically deleted 90 days after the session. After deletion, only fully anonymised data with no identifying information may be retained. See our terms of use for details.
Will my employer ever know I used this?
No. Sunno has no connection to your company. We don't share your name, number, session content, or even the fact that you booked. Your card statement says "Sunno" with no other detail. If your company happens to have a Sunno partnership (we have a few), they see only aggregate usage numbers, never individual sessions or who called.
Is this an EAP?
No. EAPs are employer-paid benefits, usually outsourced to a clinical provider with a limited number of sessions. Sunno is a direct-to-consumer service, you pay, you own the session, there's no cap, and no one in HR has a report about you. Some employers partner with Sunno as an alternative to their EAP; that's a different product.
Can I talk about my manager by name?
Yes. Use any name you want. Nothing leaves the session. We recommend it, actually, specific conversations are easier to work through than vague ones.
What if work stress is making me feel suicidal or in crisis?
Tell your Buddy at the start. They're trained to listen and to refer you immediately to a licensed professional. If it's an emergency right now, please call iCall at 9152987821 (free, 24/7 in India), they have clinical responders trained for crisis. Sunno is for listening, not for emergency mental health care.
Is this career coaching?
No. Coaches give advice, negotiate your salary, fix your resume, switch industries. Buddies don't. They help you hear what you actually want, before you decide what to do about it. If you want advice after the session, a coach is a better next step.
Can I talk about pay, layoffs, or HR issues?
Yes, any workplace topic. Layoffs, pay cuts, bias, discrimination, being passed over, being micromanaged, loneliness on a remote team. Buddies won't tell you what to do about any of it. They'll listen, which, if you've tried to process a layoff alone, is more useful than it sounds.
Do you have Buddies who've actually worked in corporate?
Yes. When you book, you can request a Buddy with experience in tech, finance, consulting, creative industries, or specific domains. If we can't match, we'll tell you before you confirm and give you a generalist option.
Can I do this from my desk without people noticing?
Yes, audio sessions with headphones work anywhere. Callers do sessions from parked cars, stairwells, empty meeting rooms, coffee shops, their balcony, their bathroom. We suggest a private space so you can talk freely, but the service doesn't require one.

Sunno is not for everyone, and that is okay.

Sunno is an empathy-listening service. It is not therapy, not crisis intervention, and not a substitute for clinical care. We do not expect, and do not encourage, the following people to book a session:

  • Anyone currently undergoing psychiatric or psychological therapy
  • Anyone currently on prescribed psychiatric medication
  • Anyone recovering from a recent self-harm episode
  • Anyone experiencing active thoughts of self-harm or harm to others

If any of the above describes you right now, please reach out to a qualified professional. These free helplines have trained crisis responders, available in multiple Indian languages:

iCall: 9152987821  ·  Mon to Sat, 8am to 10pm
Vandrevala Foundation: 1860-2662-345  ·  24 hours, 7 days
India National Emergency: 112

Workplace stress without the HR conversation.

Sunno is an emotional support service for adults in India who need someone to talk to about work, without it ending up in HR or a 1:1. Sunno Buddies are trained human listeners. They are not coaches, not therapists, and not connected to your employer.

If you have been searching for someone to talk to about work stress, a bad manager, burnout, an upcoming layoff, or a workplace problem you cannot share with colleagues, Sunno is built for you. The first 15 minutes are free. Pay only for the time you use after that, ₹5 per minute after that. Pay only for the time you use.

Don't carry the toxic emails home.

First 15 minutes free. ₹5/min after if you keep talking.
