What's the Problem?
Accessing therapy can be overwhelming, especially for users who are already in a vulnerable mental state.
Key challenges included:
Lack of clarity in available services
Difficulty understanding therapy options
Complex or unintuitive onboarding flows
The experience created friction at a stage where ease and reassurance are critical.
My Tackling Strategy Plan-Out
The design focused on reducing friction and creating a sense of clarity and comfort.
Key principles:
Simplify decision-making for users
Provide clear guidance at each step
Design interactions that feel supportive, not overwhelming
The goal was to create an experience that feels approachable, structured, and emotionally considerate.
