Spill's employee assistance programme (EAP) for cybersecurity
The alert lands at 3am and this one's real. Cybersecurity teams live with 24/7 incident response, alert fatigue that dulls even the sharpest analysts, and the strange weight of carrying other companies' worst days. That doesn't switch off when the shift ends. Spill gives your whole team unlimited therapy with same-day availability, seven days a week, for £75 a month.
Same day counselling sessions
Rolling 30 day contract
Unlimited access from £75 per month

Proudly supporting cybersecurity teams across the UK





Defending everyone else, rarely yourselves
Security work means permanent vigilance: incident response at any hour, thousands of alerts where one matters, and absorbing the stress of every client breach. The toll on hands-on responders is measurable. IT technicians have more than twice the odds of anxiety or depression compared with IT managers (UK Biobank study, 2022).
Technicians at risk
IT technicians have more than twice the odds of anxiety or depression compared with IT managers. (UK Biobank study, 2022)
Half plan to quit
52% of developers plan to leave their current job within a year, with pay the top reason. (CodinGame & CoderPad, 2023)
High turnover
The tech and communications sector sees around 35% staff turnover a year, above the UK average. (CIPD / ONS, 2024)
Resilience for the team behind everyone's resilience
An exhausted analyst misses things, and in security a missed thing is the whole business. Fast, unlimited therapy keeps your responders sharp through incident cycles and makes them likelier to stay for the next one.
Make resilience part of the culture
Give people tools for stress, imposter syndrome and always-on pressure.
Ship with clearer heads
Supported teams focus better, collaborate better and burn out less.
Cut burnout before it bites
Same-day support catches problems while they're still small.
All-in-one EAP for your team
Unlimited counselling sessions
Book a therapist directly from Slack or Teams and talk the same day, about burnout, imposter syndrome or anything else. No waiting lists, no phone menus, no forms, and sessions run into the evening and at weekends.


Self-guided wellbeing resources
A library of practical, evidence-based resources written by licensed therapists who understand the unique pressures tech workers face. Covering over 200 topics from burnout prevention to imposter syndrome 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.

FAQs
Cybersecurity teams need an EAP built for shift work and incidents: same-day sessions, availability across evenings and weekends, and no session caps that end support while an investigation is still running. Spill fits. Therapists work 7am to 9:30pm, seven days a week, sessions are unlimited with same-day availability, and it's the UK's highest rated EAP on Trustpilot. It costs £75 a month for the whole team on a rolling 30 day contract, and security companies like Tessian and CyberSmart already use it. A phone-line EAP could tick a compliance box, but with 3 to 5% usage, it offers your on-call team about as much protection as a default password.
Spill costs £75 a month for the whole team on a rolling 30 day contract. For a 20-person security team, that's £3.75 per person per month, covering unlimited therapy with same-day availability, seven days a week. There's no 2 to 5 year lock-in and no per-incident fees, just flat pricing. Book a demo and you could be live before your next on-call rotation.
An EAP for cybersecurity is a confidential mental health service for your team. Spill is built for on-call life: booking via Slack, MS Teams, SMS or email, same-day sessions after a heavy incident, and therapists available 7am to 9:30pm, seven days a week, so support fits around rotas rather than office hours.
Security work keeps the threat response system permanently switched on: 24/7 incident response, alert fatigue and the accumulated weight of handling other companies' worst days. Hypervigilance like that follows people home. Research bears it out: IT technicians have more than twice the odds of anxiety or depression compared with IT managers (UK Biobank study, 2022).
Yes. Spill works with 600+ small companies, there's no minimum team size, and you can be live within days. It's £75 a month for the whole team on a rolling 30 day contract, so a small security team gets the same support as a big one.
With around 35% annual turnover in the sector and over half of developers eyeing the exit, retention is costly. Spill gives your team confidential, unlimited support delivered in Slack and Teams. It's a benefit employees actually use, and that's linked to greater satisfaction and longer tenure.
Yes. Spill's counselling is available the same day, including evenings and weekends, because plenty of people don't work standard office hours. Our therapists are available from as early as 7am GMT to as late as 9:30pm GMT, 7 days a week, with no health assessments, waiting lists or call-backs. Employees can access support via SMS, Slack, Microsoft Teams or email and book from their phone in a few clicks.
Spill offers therapy sessions in 15+ languages, so your team can speak freely with a counsellor that understands them best. Employees choose their preferred language from a drop-down when they book a session. We currently cover Armenian, Croatian, French, German, Greek, Hebrew, Hindi, Igbo, Italian, Polish, Portuguese, Russian, Slovenian, Spanish, Tagalog and Ukrainian. We're adding to this list all the time, so let us know if you have a request.
Yes, Spill operates in compliance with GDPR and UK data protection law. Spill is fully secure and therapy sessions are strictly confidential.

We share aggregate usage data with the company (the number of people who have used Spill) but never names. Slack and MS Teams are only portals used to sign in to our confidential platform. No session content is ever visible to them, to Spill, or to your company.
