No. Budhiam is a social wellness platform for authentic conversations with empathetic listeners. It's not a replacement for professional mental health care. If you need therapy, please consult a licensed professional.
Sessions are priced per duration. A quick 30-minute chat costs €15, while a deeper 60-minute conversation is €25. We also cover your drink with a QR voucher — coffee for short sessions, full snack for longer ones.
Unlike dating apps, we don't use photos or superficial criteria. Our algorithm matches you based on personality compatibility, shared values, and conversational preferences. You'll see a compatibility score before confirming your session.
Yes! If you have strong empathy and communication skills, attend one of our in-person meetups in Paris or Lyon. We'll assess your abilities and train you to become a certified Budhiam listener. Check our Meetup page for upcoming sessions.
We encourage you to give it a chance, but if you're truly uncomfortable, you can end the session early. Contact our support team and we'll work with you to find a better match next time.
We're currently in Paris with 19 partner cafés across 8 neighborhoods. Lyon is coming very soon. Want us in your city? Let us know at hello@budhiam.com
We are a small team, united by one heart and a commitment to human connection.
