Spill's employee assistance programme (EAP) for digital health companies
Building healthcare products means startup pace with clinical-grade stakes. Ship fast, but never break anything, because on the other side of your product is a patient. Add regulatory scrutiny and lean teams, and the pressure compounds quietly. Spill gives digital health teams unlimited same-day therapy, booked straight from Slack or MS Teams, with counsellors who specialise in burnout, for £75 a month for the whole team.
Same day counselling sessions
Rolling 30 day contract
Unlimited access from £75 per month

Proudly supporting digital health teams across the UK





Startup pressure with patient safety on the line
63% of trainee doctors are at moderate or high risk of burnout (GMC National Training Survey, 2024). Plenty of clinicians from that same system now work in digital health, alongside engineers and ops teams shipping at startup speed. The clinical stakes come with the territory. The burnout doesn't have to.
Burnout at work
30% of NHS staff often or always feel burnt out because of work, rising to nearly 40% of ambulance staff. (NHS Staff Survey, 2024)
Made unwell by stress
41% of NHS staff felt unwell in the past year as a result of work-related stress. (NHS Staff Survey, 2024)
Trainees at risk
63% of trainee doctors are at moderate or high risk of burnout. (GMC National Training Survey, 2024)
Why fast-moving teams need fast support
In a lean team, one person burning out slows everyone down. Same-day therapy keeps problems small, protects your shipping cadence and gives people a reason to stay through the hard quarters.
Protect against compassion fatigue
Help staff process the emotional weight of caring for others before it turns into exhaustion.
Keep minds on the job
Supported staff have more attention and patience for the people who depend on them.
Reduce mental health sick days
Same-day support helps issues get dealt with early, before they become absence.
All-in-one EAP for your team
Unlimited counselling sessions
A confidential space for clinical and non-clinical staff to decompress with a fully qualified therapist, including specialists in trauma and grief. Same-day sessions fit around shifts and on-call, with no waiting lists or referral forms.


Self-guided wellbeing resources
A library of practical, evidence-based resources written by licensed therapists who understand the unique pressures healthcare workers face. Covering over 200 topics from burnout prevention to grief, trauma 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
For a digital health company, the best EAP should meet three tests: does it fit how your team works, are the counsellors genuinely good, and will it support everyone, including people with pre-existing or severe difficulties. Spill integrates with Slack and MS Teams so booking takes seconds, offers unlimited same-day sessions from 7am to 9:30pm seven days a week, and works only with counsellors in the top 5% nationally. It's the UK's highest rated EAP on Trustpilot, and AccuRx, Suvera and Limbic already use it. Traditional helpline EAPs are cheaper, but 6 to 8 session caps, call centres and 2 to 5 year lock-ins drive usage down to 3 to 5%, which is a hard number to defend to your board.
Spill costs £75 a month for the whole company on a rolling 30 day contract, so it scales with you rather than locking you in. For a team of 25, that's £3 per person per month for unlimited therapy with same-day booking through Slack or MS Teams. It's one of the cheapest line items with a visible impact. Book a demo and see it in your own workspace.
An EAP gives your team confidential therapy paid for by the company. Spill was built for teams like yours: staff book unlimited sessions directly from Slack, MS Teams, SMS or email, usually for the same day, with counsellors in the top 5% nationally. Sessions run 7am to 9:30pm, seven days a week, in more than 15 languages, which matters when your team is distributed and your hours are irregular.
Digital health teams carry a double load: the pace and uncertainty of a startup, plus the weight of knowing patients depend on what you build. Regulatory pressure adds a layer of scrutiny most startups never face. It's telling that 63% of trainee doctors are at moderate or high risk of burnout, because many of your clinical colleagues came straight from that world. Support that arrives the same day stops pressure becoming attrition.
Yes. Spill has no minimum team size, so a seed-stage company of a handful of people gets the same unlimited therapy as a scale-up. It's £75 a month for everyone, setup takes days, and the rolling 30 day contract means you can start now and adjust as you grow.
Poor staff health, wellbeing and turnover is estimated to cost the NHS over £12bn a year, and burnout is a leading reason clinicians leave. Spill gives staff confidential, unlimited support that makes them feel genuinely cared for, which is linked to better retention and fewer mental health sick days.
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. Video sessions run on an end-to-end encrypted service and all messages to and from therapists are secure. 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.
