Common Challenges We Help Senior Leaders Overcome

Direction Split

You started fully aligned, but now your visions subtly clash. Decisions about strategy and execution have become slow and painful. Your team is losing confidence.

Spotlight Imbalance & Power Struggle

One of you naturally takes more spotlight, fuelling resentment. Debates are repeating endlessly over hiring, launches, or priorities. Opportunities are slipping away while you remain stuck.

Public Tension

Silent friction during board meetings, uncomfortable exchanges in front of staff, or passive-aggressive disagreements in key meetings. Your entire organisation feels it.

Paralysis Under Pressure

Decisions you once made quickly now spark friction and delay. Competitors or peers move faster as your partnership is mired in second-guessing and subtle rivalry.

Delayed Conversations

Busy schedules, constant travel, and daily pressures cause crucial conversations to be repeatedly postponed. By the time you talk openly, minor issues have become major conflicts.

Risk-Tolerance Mismatch

One pushes aggressively forward, embracing risk and opportunity; the other prioritises stability and caution. Daily friction is draining your energy and clouding your judgement.

View Full Testimonials
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.

How We Deliver Family Business Therapy

Every engagement with everpath starts with a free, confidential consultation.

This initial conversation helps us understand your situation, urgency, and goals, and allows us to recommend the most appropriate way of working together.

Depending on your needs, we offer three ways to engage with everpath.
Each approach uses the same therapeutic depth and relational framework, the difference is pace, intensity, and time horizon.

Program-Based
Therapy
Structured, time-bound psychotherapy delivered through regular sessions around key relational challenges.
Who it’s for
Business families, co-owners, key pairs, and individual leaders who want steady progress without stepping away from the business.
