I'll be with you every step of the way
‘Every step of the way’ means at each part of the process or project. You can say you will be ‘with someone every step of the way’ to ensure them that they will be supported and have access to help and assistance. This idiomatic phrase is often used in customer service or in personal situations to offer support. “We will be with you every step of the way during the set-up process.” “I know you are going through a tough time at the moment but your family are here for you every step of the way.”
