Spill's employee assistance programme (EAP) for carpenters & joiners
Joinery rewards patience and precision, but the industry rarely returns the favour. Deadline chains squeeze from one side, worn shoulders and knees from another, and self-employed income swings sit underneath it all. Spill gives carpenters and joiners a same-day session with a top therapist, booked by text from any phone, completely private, with nobody at the firm knowing. £75 a month covers your whole team, subbies included.
Same day counselling sessions
Rolling 30 day contract
Unlimited access from £75 per month
Proudly supporting carpenters and joiners across the UK
What wears carpenters and joiners down over time
Construction turnover runs at around 35% a year (CIPD / ONS), and joinery feels every part of why. Bodies take a beating from decades of physical work, project deadline chains pass pressure straight down the line, and self-employed income swings with the order book. When work and worry pile up together, people leave the trade altogether.
Suicide risk
Men in construction are 3.7x more likely to die by suicide than the male national average. (ONS, via Mates in Mind 2022)
Daily stress
58% of built-environment workers experience stress often, and 50% experience anxiety often. (CIOB, 2025)
Two lives a day
On average, two construction workers take their own life every working day in the UK. (Lighthouse Construction Industry Charity, 2024)
The business case for backing your makers
Skilled joiners take years to train and days to lose. When support is private, unlimited and bookable by text, people use it early, and firms keep the craftsmanship they've invested in.

Build resilience on the front line
Give your team practical tools to handle rush-hour pressure, difficult customers and long days on their feet.
Keep the team sharp
Staff who get support for personal and work struggles bring more energy to every shift.
Cut short-notice absence
Early support stops small struggles snowballing into last-minute call-outs and long sick leave.
All-in-one EAP for your team
Unlimited counselling sessions
A completely private way for site and office staff to talk to a qualified therapist, booked by SMS or email with no forms and nobody on site any the wiser. Same-day sessions from 7am to 9:30pm, seven days a week.
Self-guided wellbeing resources
A library of practical, evidence-based resources written by licensed therapists who understand the unique pressures construction workers face. Covering over 200 topics from stress and anxiety to financial wellbeing and sleep, our online resources can be accessed at any time. They're a great first step for anyone who's not quite ready to speak to a counsellor directly.
Expert guidance and training
Practical, therapist-led training workshops designed to empower staff to spot mental health presentations within nurseries, schools and universities and know how to appropriately respond. Teachers can also check in with a Spill safeguarding clinician for advice at any time.

Proper mental health support that’s incredibly easy to access.
No hidden exclusions, no hoops to jump through, and no unexpected exit fees.
