A clinic website for a counselling centre has one job: help a nervous stranger decide, in a minute or two, that this is a safe place and that they know how to book. That needs a clear statement of what you offer, the people who work there, what a session costs, where you are and how to book, all in plain language.
This guide is for owners and managers of counselling centres and group practices in India. It lists the pages and details a centre needs, what to keep off the site, and how Leshya's clinic page relates to a website of your own.
Start with the visitor's questions
Someone who lands on your site is usually asking five things. Is this the right kind of help for me? Who will I see? What will it cost? Where is it, or is it online? How do I book?
If a visitor cannot answer all five from your home page and one click, they will go elsewhere. Build the site around these questions rather than around your brand story.
The pages a centre needs
Home. One sentence on who you help and how, a plain description of what happens in a first session, and a visible Book button. Our guide on the counsellor website homepage covers the structure in more detail.
Team. A short profile for each counsellor: name, qualifications, the concerns they work with, languages and session types. Write each in the first person, in a few lines. The bio guide below helps.
Services and fees. List each type of session, its length and its price. Hiding fees costs you enquiries. If you offer sliding scale or a limited number of lower cost slots, say how a person asks.
Location and contact. For an in person centre, an address, a map link, parking or transit notes and access details. For online sessions, say which platform and what a client needs.
Frequently asked questions. Confidentiality, cancellation, what to wear to a first session, whether you see minors, how long until the first appointment. Real answers reduce phone calls.
Booking. Either a booking panel on the page or a clear link to one, with the times and the payment step in the same place.
What to keep off the site
Client stories, even anonymised ones, unless the client has agreed in writing and you are sure they cannot be identified. Photographs of clients. Outcome promises such as cured or guaranteed results. Anything that implies a qualification or registration you do not hold, or that a body has approved your centre when it has not.
Be careful with location. A home based practice may not want the full address public. The location privacy guide explains how to describe an area without giving a door number.
Build it yourself, or use a platform
You can build a site on a general website builder, or on a platform made for practices. A general builder gives full design freedom and leaves you to add booking, payment and reminders from other tools. A practice platform gives you the booking and payment built in, with less design choice.
Whichever you pick, check three things: does it load quickly on a phone, can you edit a counsellor's profile without a developer, and where does the booking and payment record live. If the website and the bookings sit in different tools, someone has to join them each day.
How Leshya's clinic page fits
Leshya's clinic workspace gives a centre its own address in the form yourclinic.leshya.app, with every counsellor who takes bookings listed on it. Clients book straight from the page. Clinic hours can be set once for the whole practice or per counsellor, and online payment, desk payment and reminders sit in the same workspace. Your content blocks can include a photo gallery of up to 10 images, a carousel, a YouTube video, your own FAQ and your offerings.
It is not a design studio. If you want a fully custom site, build that elsewhere and link to your Leshya booking page. If you want a page that is ready and tied to your bookings, the clinic page is the quicker route. A person reviews every counsellor before their profile goes live, and a website does not guarantee clients or bookings.
For plans and pricing, see the clinics page and the pricing section of the counsellor page.
Before it goes live
Read every page on a phone. Click the Book button as a stranger would. Check that each counsellor's fee matches what the booking step shows. Ask someone outside the centre to find your hours and your price in under a minute. A checklist for the individual counsellor version is in the therapist website checklist.
Common questions
A clear home page, a profile for each counsellor, session types with fees, location or online details, frequently asked questions, and a way to book. Keep client stories and outcome promises off the site.
