Features
Read full description

Solace by Therapy Friend. A companion for the real work of healing. Solace is a gentle, voice-led AI companion for your emotional wellbeing, like a wise, loving friend who is always here, never rushed, never judging. More than a place to vent, Solace helps you find freedom by gently uncovering the unconscious beliefs that have quietly been weighing you down and keeping you stuck, so they can finally be seen, felt, and released. • Speak out loud (eyes closed, like a real session), or type if that feels safer • Be truly heard, with total non-judgement • Gently reach the root beneath your pain and find real relief • Save sessions, revisit your reflections and "anchors," and journal with moods and prompts • Private and yours. Delete anything, anytime Solace is not therapy or a crisis service. It is a companion for reflection and growth.
