High-Stakes Teams
The leadership teams (multi-founder, multi-owner, or senior executives) whose decisions directly impact organisational outcomes: trios, quads, or 5-7 leaders.
Board-ready psychotherapy that resolves conflict,
rebuilds trust, and transforms the partnership.
Deeper than coaching.
More sustainable than mediation.
Coaching lacks research with duos and teams
Executive coaching typically focuses on individual performance, leaving underlying relational conflicts unresolved and partnership dynamics unchanged. Rigorous research on coaching for duos or teams is limited or negligible, compared to clinical therapy models.
Mediation settles the moment, not the pattern
Mediation can pause an immediate dispute, but rarely shifts the underlying emotions and power dynamics. Evidence for sustained behaviour change from mediation is limited; psychotherapy targets the underlying dynamics directly.
High-Stakes Partnership Therapy. Designed for key duos and teams.
everpath is the clinical alternative to coaching and mediation. Our methodology is built on clinical-grade couples therapy and group therapy models, adapted for high-stakes duos and teams. Across multiple studies, these models deliver significant gains that sustain over time.
Immediate impact post-session
The psychotherapy models we use produce significant boosts in communication, positive interactions, and overall relationship satisfaction immediately post-session.
Impact continues up to 6 months later
These models have shown significant gains in positive partnership behaviours and high relationship satisfaction were sustained for 6 months following treatment.
Gains maintained up to 24 months later
The significant gains in overall relationship satisfaction were sustained for up to 24 months following treatment.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Yes, in fact, that's exactly when therapy can help the most. We provide a calm, structured environment where intense feelings can be safely discussed, helping you quickly lower tension, rebuild trust, and improve communication.
Definitely. Therapy isn't just for partnerships in crisis. Many healthy partnerships use therapy proactively to strengthen communication, enhance understanding, and prevent small misunderstandings from growing into bigger problems.
Therapy can still work well even if partners start at different comfort levels. Our therapists gently encourage open communication, so even hesitant partners become more comfortable and engaged over time.
Initially, sessions usually happen weekly and last about 60–90 minutes. As your partnership improves, you can reduce frequency according to your needs.
Yes, you can. If you find the single intensive session helpful and decide you'd like further support, we can smoothly transition you into a Brief Therapy Series of 2–10 sessions. This allows your team to build on the progress made in the initial session and explore partnership challenges in greater depth.
Yes. If you're undertaking Single-Session Therapy, we ask each participant to complete four short questionnaires beforehand. These help us quickly understand your team's situation and goals, ensuring we make the most of your intensive session. If you're beginning a Brief Therapy series (2–10 sessions), completing these questionnaires isn't mandatory—but doing so can still be helpful, allowing us to dive straight into productive discussion from the very first session.
Certainly, provided this arrangement is transparent to both partners and explicitly approved by both.
Yes, absolutely. Therapy adapts to changes within your partnership, helping you smoothly manage the emotional transition and support ongoing working relationships.
Absolutely. Your confidentiality is strictly protected, and any sharing of information is always decided by you. If someone else funds the sessions, we can provide general updates about attendance or overall engagement only—and even then, only if all partners explicitly agree. Specific details of therapy discussions always remain private.
