so what we want is... (guidlines)

The messaging should be reassuring without giving up the brand's voice and tone. The goal should be call-to-action that are inclusive, direct, and emphasize that users aren't alone and that a professional is guiding them. The new ones are concise but enhanced in their sense of support.

and what we have is... (copy audit)

The interface's use of statistics and expert references, while intended to reassure, can actually feel excessive and impersonal. My recommendations include simplifying the numbers and shortening the text, helping users feel genuinely seen rather than treated as just another case. This should support a more empathetic and user-centered experience.

​I've prepared a set of refined recommendations for the website's sign-up flow. Here are some concrete examples for suggestions to alternative copy, focusing on making the content more concise, empathetic, and reassuring for users who may be seeking professional help for the first time. This should help guide improvements to better serve a sensitive audience.
