Spill's employee assistance programme (EAP) for deep tech / ai
The world expects magic from AI teams; the work itself is slow, uncertain and intense. Frontier research means experiments that fail for months, hype-cycle expectations set by people who've never trained a model, and pressure to publish, ship and scale all at once. Spill gives your whole team unlimited therapy with same-day availability for £75 a month, so the minds doing frontier work get proper care.
Same day counselling sessions
Rolling 30 day contract
Unlimited access from £75 per month
Proudly supporting AI and deep tech teams across the UK
Frontier work takes a toll the hype ignores
Deep tech teams live with a strange mix of pressure: research that moves in years, expectations that move in news cycles, and the intensity of working at the edge of what's possible. Retention is fragile too, with the tech sector seeing around 35% staff turnover a year (CIPD / ONS, 2024).
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)
Keep rare minds doing rare work
The people building frontier AI and robotics are genuinely hard to replace, and losing one can stall a research direction for months. Fast, unlimited mental health support protects both the person and the work.

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.
An EAP the way it should be
Proper mental health support that’s incredibly easy to access.
No hidden exclusions, no hoops to jump through, and no unexpected exit fees.
