Change the pattern.
Protect the family business.

Specialist psychotherapy for family businesses. We help business families resolve conflict, rebuild trust, and make better decisions together—around the table and in the boardroom.

Psychotherapy that rewires relational patterns—so trust deepens, decisions flow, and the family business thrives.

everpath is the clinical piece of your family business support team.

Build Safety & Trust

When conversations turn tense or shut down, we create a structured, safe space for difficult truths. Family members learn to speak—and listen—without blowing up or checking out.

Make New Behaviours Stick

We don’t just talk about patterns; we practice new ones live in the room. Families try new ways of speaking, apologising, and negotiating—so the changes hold when they’re back in the business.

Evidence-Based & Systemic

Our approach combines evidence-based psychotherapy with a systemic family business lens. We work at the overlap of family, ownership, and enterprise, not in isolation.

As a co-founder navigating both business and personal dynamics with my business partner, I came into relational psychotherapy unsure of what to expect. What I found was clarity, guidance, and a safe space to unpack the unspoken things that often sit between the lines. Tom helped us build a communication framework that has completely shifted the way we work together. I’m walking away from our sessions not only with practical tools, but with a renewed sense of connection with my business partner and direction for the business.

Simon Jarosz

Co-Founder & Creative Partner, Sydney

What I found particularly helpful was being able to talk through a few issues that had the potential to create real division between us if left unspoken. There were also some heavier experiences we’d both been carrying, including some trauma, that had started to colour how we approached things…Having the space to talk that through, unpack it, and make sense of it together made a huge difference.

Dr. Ceri Cashell

Co-Founder, Sydney

Relational psychotherapy was very enlightening for me as a co-founder and CEO. Throughout our two therapy sessions, Tom quickly helped both of us identify tension points and work through them with compassion..With his guidance, we were able to agree on behaviours that will move us closer to our company's goals - with greater understanding of each other. I left the experience feeling lighter, more aligned, and excited to continue my journey as a Co-Founder.

Anthony Gerresheim

Co-Founder & CEO, Melbourne

Working through co-founder therapy has been genuinely transformative for our partnership. From the very beginning, Tom created a safe, non-judgemental space where both of us felt comfortable speaking openly — even about the things we usually find hard to say out loud…Because of our sessions with Tom, we now have a much more honest and transparent relationship, and we’re better equipped to navigate the challenges of building a business together.

Millie Twort

Co-Owner & Managing Partner, Sydney

As a Co-Founder and COO, I found co-founder therapy very helpful. It helped me be more open about my feelings, improve my communication with my co-founder, and equipped me with values-based behaviours I can continue to use to grow both personally and professionally. It was a safe space to reflect, reset, and build healthier co-founder dynamics with my business partner.

Lathan Sutrave

Co-Founder & COO, Melbourne

everpath has been a really valuable experience for us as co-founders…We’re not particularly confrontational people, so it was reassuring to have someone help us unpack and understand the moments of tension that naturally arise…I came away feeling more confident in our ability to navigate the emotional side of leadership, and really grateful for the space to reflect and reconnect as a team.

Dr. Emma Harvey

Co-Founder, Byron Bay

There’s something incredibly potent about co-founder dynamics and Tom demonstrated a unique gift for guiding our relationship with insight, structure, and deep care. Were the sessions easy? No. But very much warranted. The space Tom created helped us strengthen our ways of working together, and that continues to influence how we show up each day.

Gisella Montello-Bruce

Co-Founder & Strategy Director, Sunshine Coast

What sets Tom apart is his ability to truly see you and identify the real issues that are affecting your wellbeing, regardless of how you present or describe them. He possesses a rare understanding of the unique challenges faced by co-founders and the tensions that can exist between them. He consistently unpacked these issues in a way that offered fresh insights and solutions.

Nicholas Oddy

Co-Founder & Executive Coach, Melbourne

After just two individual therapy sessions, Tom helped me unpack how deep-rooted past experiences were quietly shaping my thinking and decision making. His thoughtful guidance enabled me to build a clearer sense of self-awareness, allowing me to identify my self-limiting patterns, understand their origins, and begin to break their hold on me…I feel far better equipped to navigate change and grow my new venture - on my own terms.

Julie Dormand

Employee Culture Consultant, Sydney

As a Psychotherapist with deep experience in business, Tom possesses an extraordinary gift. His unique background enables him to address the underlying behaviours and mindsets that drive or inhibit executive performance, as I have personally experienced…During our sessions he regularly helps me explore and address the root causes of my challenges, and test new behaviours that bring me closer to my best self.
