State of Private Practice in India 2026

What do Indian therapists actually charge — and what does running a practice really look like? Nobody publishes this, so new therapists guess their fees and everyone negotiates in the dark. This annual survey exists to fix that.

Anonymous by design:we don’t ask for your name, email, or anything identifying — there is nothing to leak and nothing to market to.

Openly published: aggregated results (fee ranges by city tier and experience, tool usage, admin pains) will be published free on this site for everyone — participants, non-participants, and yes, our competitors. The results page goes live once we reach 100 responses.

Run by Therapy Manager, the practice-management app by Dandelion Psychotherapy. The survey is not a sales funnel — no follow-up, no gate.
