Safe Stories Review
SafeStories is an option for readers interested in a smaller Pune counselling practice. Founder Pooja Jain’s work combines counselling with mental-health education and community activities. A WhatsApp contact remains available for enquiries. The website is currently a holding page, however, so the current therapist choices, service menu and group schedule are not clear enough to book directly online.
The verdict on Safe Stories
What works
- You can still make a direct WhatsApp enquiry while the website is being rebuilt.
- The founder’s counselling and community-education background gives the practice a clear personal focus.
Worth knowing
- The current holding page does not verify which earlier services or events are open for booking.
Choose Safe Stories if
You are interested in a small Pune practice and are comfortable starting with a WhatsApp enquiry rather than an online booking.

Practitioner profiles
- Pooja Jain: Counselling psychologist with counselling training at TISS.
How to enquire about care
- Send an enquiry using the website’s WhatsApp link.
- Discuss your needs and appointment options in that conversation.
Is Safe Stories good value for money?
Current pricing is too limited to judge a package or saving.The ₹1,500 figure is an older price; the current website does not confirm it. That page offers a WhatsApp enquiry but no live appointment prices. A group or community event would also be a different purchase from a private counselling session.
Cancellation & Refunds
The current holding page contains no session cancellation, missed-appointment or refund conditions.
