Business Partnership Counselling & Mediation
Is Your Business Partnership Facing These Challenges:
- Your partnership is leaving you feeling stuck, confused and frustrated
- Noticing a misalignment about the core skills you bring that may have once been a source of much of the success of the partnership
- Noticing a confusion or a change about roles, responsibilities, commitment and maybe future direction for your business
Are you struggling in your business partnership and don’t know how to make things better?
All successful partnerships begin with feelings. Hope. Pride. Passion. Belief. Effort.
Like all partnerships, making sure that you’re both on the same journey takes work.
Melanie will help you make sure that, just like your finances, this part of your business is healthy too, and give you tools to enable clear communication, trust and alignment now and into the future.
Through Melanie’s work with relationships and partnerships as a Psychotherapist and a Nationally Accredited Mediator, as well as her own personal experience has a business partner(twice!), patterns have emerged allowing Melanie to identify the key areas that business partnerships start to feel harder and less clearer for the partners.
And so, Melanie has developed a 9 step framework which supports partners to work through the pain points in their partnership guided by clear structure that is based on many years of experience, research and feedback.
Melanie’s counselling and mediation expertise and experience working with high conflict and complex cases combined with her extensive and colourful corporate career offer an unmatched skillset.
Aside from Melanie’s natural warmth, humour and calming presence, her academic and professional achievements and experience ensure a safe, secure and knowledgeable environment for her clients.
A great deal of effort and expense goes into clearly defining the financial commitments of the partners, but very little into defining the less tangible (but equally critical) emotional commitment.
Business clients from all sectors will benefit from taking the time to check in on the health of their partnership.
I Help You Work On...
My goal in working with business partnerships is to help all parties to communicate safely and leave feeling more understood and aligned to a clear vision for the partnership.
Working with me is about exploring and improving the relationship you have with your business partners to ensure that you have clarity about where you’ve come from, where you’re going, your expectations of each other and the support you all need in getting there.
- Individual insight into what is happening for you in this business partnership and why things don’t feel like they are going the way you thought (even if the business is doing well).
- New ways to communicate with and understand your business partner and feel understood yourself. Difficult conversations can be a thing of the past.
- Clearer alignment on the vision of for your business and everyone’s role within the business partnership.
To be clear, working with me in a counselling capacity is not a journey on how to improve your business management practices.

"Working with Melanie was exactly what my business partner and I needed to come to an agreement moving forward. Melanie has an easy approachable and relatable personality and was able to meet each of us where we were at, gently guiding us towards the resolution we needed. Melanie helped us to see each other more clearly, understand our own triggers and feelings as well as each others. I learnt valuable communication skills and was able to separate myself personally from the business discussions, coming to a resolution which suited both parties. I felt overall this could not have happened without Melanie's kind, knowledgeable and gentle support through the entire process"
