Because partner alignment drives client wins and profit per partner
Specialist psychotherapy for partner‑owners in legal, consulting, accounting, engineering, and architecture firms. We resolve the human dynamics that stall decisions, fracture trust, and bleed margin—so execution moves again.
Relationship conflict reliably undermines team performance; trust protects against this effect.

The Professional Services Partners We Help
Legal Partners
Managing Partners, Practice Heads, and equity partners navigating origination credit, client ownership, and governance tensions while protecting culture and reputation.
Consulting Partners
Strategy, digital, and specialist consulting partners balancing rainmaking, delivery quality, and cross‑practice collaboration amid intense growth cycles and lateral moves.
Accounting & Advisory Partners
Audit, tax, and advisory partners juggling independence, conflicts of interest, pricing pressure, and succession planning across key accounts.
Engineering & Architecture Partners
Technical practice leaders whose large, multi‑year projects amplify risk, scope pressure, and cross‑discipline friction—where partner chemistry determines delivery.
Common Challenges We Help Senior Leaders Overcome
Origination Credit & Revenue Share Tension
Unclear attribution fuels resentment and silent competition; collaboration stalls as partners protect their book.
Client Ownership & Succession
Unspoken expectations about who "owns" the relationship derail handovers, threaten key accounts, and slow growth.
Cross‑Practice Silos
Competing incentives create turf wars between practices or offices; opportunities die in internal politics.
Governance & Compensation Friction
Lockstep vs. eat‑what‑you‑kill debates polarise the room; lateral hires destabilise perceived fairness.
Decision Deadlock in Partner Meetings
Critical calls (pricing, resourcing, lateral hires, mergers) loop without resolution; the firm loses momentum.
Burnout, Spotlight Imbalance, and Quiet Rivalry
Billable pressure and profile gaps strain goodwill; sharp exchanges in public settings unsettle the firm.
Trusted by founders, owners, and
senior leaders
Our Approach for Professional Services Partners
Address the psychological roots
We surface the emotions, loyalties, and status anxieties driving conflict—then change them in the room.
Rebuild safety and repair trust
We structure hard conversations so partners can speak plainly without retribution; ruptures are acknowledged and repaired quickly.
Turn insight into testable behaviours
We translate agreements into observable behaviours that can be validated in day‑to‑day work.
Results you can expect
Reset Partner Alignment
Clarity on roles, credit, and commitments—so meetings decide rather than rehearse.
Protect Clients and Reputation
Fewer public ruptures; smoother handovers; stronger cross‑practice delivery.
Lift Execution and Profitability
Cleaner decisions, faster resourcing, and higher follow‑through on firm priorities.
What’s at stake
Tension between mission-critical duos shows up as owner concern, sponsor dropout, or shaky performance. A strong duo decides faster, performs smoother under pressure, and lifts valuation, ratings, or rankings.
Safe, Confidential, and Respectful
Boundaries First
We explore sensitive personal topics only to the degree you're comfortable. Your personal limits are fully respected at all times.
Strict Confidentiality
Your sessions and sensitive information remain strictly confidential, including from HR and legal. Our therapists fully adhere to the ethical standards of the Australian Counselling Assiociation (ACA) and the Psychotherapy & Counselling Federation of Australia (PACFA).
Trauma-Informed
Our therapists are specially trained to safely navigate trauma or deeper emotional concerns, ensuring your experience remains highly supportive and safe throughout the process.

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.
Therapy
Regular psychotherapy sessions (typically weekly or fortnightly)
Individual, pair, or family formats
60–90 minute sessions
A shared focus on a specific relational issue, transition, or pattern
The work is deep and evidence-based, but paced to fit alongside ongoing leadership and business responsibilities.
Initial consultation to understand context, relationships, and goals
Agreement on scope and cadence (who’s involved, how often, and why)
Ongoing sessions working with live relational patterns as they show up
Regular check-ins to review progress and adjust as needed
Intensives
One to five full-day sessions (6.5 hours per day)
Individual, pair, or group formats
Structured, facilitated conversations with space to slow things down
Live practice of new ways of speaking, listening, and deciding
This format allows families and partners to go deeper, faster — without the stop-start of weekly sessions.
Pre-work and alignment to clarify history, tensions, and priorities
One or more intensive days focused on the core relational dynamics
Facilitated practice of new conversations and behaviours
Clear agreements and next steps before returning to the business
An agreed monthly or quarterly allocation of therapy sessions
Flexible use across individuals, pairs, or family groups
Priority access when tensions or challenges arise
A mix of reflective, preventative, and responsive work
Initial alignment on values, goals, and scope of partnership
Ongoing access to therapy across the year
Proactive use of sessions, not just reactive problem-solving
Regular reviews to ensure the work remains relevant and valuable
Don’t let relational conflict decide
the future of your family business.
Invite your family members, co-owners, and key leaders
into a structured space where real change can begin.
