Korean Startup Trost
Have you ever spent a restless night because of depression or some worries in your personal or business life? Do you want to pour out all your worries to somebody but don’t know who will listen to them wholeheartedly? People rely on psychology consultation when they want to take a load off their mind by opening their hearts to somebody. However, some people may be reluctant to use pre-existing services because they only offer face-to-face consultation to their users. Also, busy people can’t use the system because they have to visit a counseling center regularly. Korean Startup Trost can solve this problem.
‘Trost‘ is a Korean startup that provides consultation services based on an online messenger. Here are some points of difference that Trost offers to its users.
How it works
1. Trost guarantees anonymity.
Most people hesitate to get their worries out to their friends. It is because of an unknown anxiety of how they will treat them if the person shows them their innermost feelings. Also, even if the person chooses to talk with counselors who they don’t know, it is difficult to tell them their true feelings face-to-face. Medical records can be another element of burden, because of their negative social prejudice. Trost offers psychology consultation services without revealing the users’ personal details. People can tell counselors anything they want with the 1:1 online messenger and they are free from social prejudices.
2. There are no space and time limitations.
Visiting counseling center regularly is a burden for busy people. With Trost, users can use the consulting system at any time, anywhere they want. People can get a real time consulting, or if they leave their worries anytime in the messenger, counselors can give an answer to them later.
3. There are many skilled counselors in Trost.
All the counselors in Trost have a license, and they to go through formal training before they start online counseling activities. Thus, counselors can effectively resolve users’ problems and can sincerely sympathize with them.
