Specialist psychotherapy designed for the complex dynamics of trios, quads, and teams of 5-7 leaders.

everpath helps high-stakes leadership teams overcome stalled performance with evidence-based psychotherapy.

Designed for your challenges

everpath specialises in psychotherapy for high-stakes leadership teams. The audiences we help include:

Trios: teams of 3 co-founders, co-owners, or partners

Quads: teams of 4 co-founders, co-owners, or partners

Mission-critical teams of 5-7 leaders

Deeper than coaching.
More sustainable than mediation.

Coaching doesn't address partnership dynamics

There is currently no rigorous research demonstrating the effectiveness of executive coaching for trios, quads, or teams of 5-7. Limited existing studies involving larger teams show minimal improvements, with no meaningful long-term relational impact.

Mediation overlooks deeper relational dynamics

While mediation resolves immediate conflicts, it usually overlooks deeper emotional complexities, systemic issues, power dynamics, and relational patterns. To date, robust research validating the sustained impact of mediation on relationship behaviours or performance simply doesn't exist.

View Full Testimonials
As a co-founder navigating both business and personal dynamics with my business partner, I came into co-founder therapy 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
Co-Founder Therapy 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.
Ingrid M.
Head of People & Culture, Sydney

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

How are therapy sessions structured to ensure everyone feels heard equally, regardless of team size?

We carefully facilitate discussions, using activities designed to make sure everyone feels safe and able to express their views openly, no matter the size of your team.

Is there anything our team needs to do to prepare before starting therapy?

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.

Can team sessions be combined with private individual sessions for team members who have personal issues affecting the team?

Certainly. Many teams find individual sessions for certain members highly beneficial, especially if personal issues strongly impact team interactions.

What happens if intense emotions or arguments come up during sessions?

Our therapists are trained to manage difficult conversations safely, turning tense moments into constructive dialogue that strengthens understanding and teamwork.

What happens if team members change during therapy—can new people join or leave?

Yes, sessions can flexibly adapt to team changes. Therapists help teams smoothly integrate new members or process departures, maintaining group cohesion.

What if I decide I want more than one SST session?

You can have as many SST sessions as you feel are necessary. SST is never about "one session and you're done"; instead, its focus is always on "one meaningful session at a time".
