There is a world of possibilities with the call. The key goals are companionship, company and conversation – but there are many possibilities beyond that.

Yes, we aim to have you chat with the same buddy each time. Think of your buddy like your hairdresser, for example. You will have the same buddy every time, wherever possible.

Ideally appointments will be made in advance to ensure that you can be connect with you buddy.  You can call at any time, without an appointment however, there is a chance your buddy won’t be available. If this is the case, then we have other buddies you can chat with.

It’s also possible that your buddy has periods of absence through sick leave or holiday etc – in these cases we would match you up with another buddy during this period.

Each session is 45 minutes. We introduce a finite period so that the conversations have better structure. Having a structured active conversation with a defined beginning, middle and established end point helps set parameters and yield better results.

We are very flexible though, and our members can have shorter sessions, or multiple sessions in one day.  Even back-to-back sessions if you wish.

As often as you want. There are practicalities involved if you want to speak to the same buddy. They might have other pre-arranged appointments with other members, or they might have to leave the office for the day, for example.

If your buddy is unavailable, then we can introduce you to another buddy for further conversation.
