Spill's employee assistance programme (EAP) for electricians
Seven in the morning, alone in a van, heading to a job where one wrong connection matters. Electricians spend whole days working solo, holding safety-critical focus with nobody to talk to. Spill gives your sparks a therapist the same day they need one, booked by text from any phone, completely private. £75 a month covers the whole firm, employed and subcontracted alike.
Same day counselling sessions
Rolling 30 day contract
Unlimited access from £75 per month

Why lone working takes a toll on electricians
Men in construction are 3.7 times more likely to die by suicide than the male national average (ONS, via Mates in Mind 2022). Electricians face a particular mix: safety-critical precision that allows no off days, long stretches working alone, and a van for an office. That isolation makes it harder to notice when someone is struggling, including yourself.
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 case for looking after your sparks
Focused, well-rested electricians make fewer mistakes on work where mistakes are dangerous and expensive. Private, text-based support means your team actually uses it, instead of quietly burning out alone in the van.
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.

FAQs
Ask what your electricians would actually use. An EAP only works for sparks if it's completely private (no referral through a manager, no forms), bookable from a phone in the van, free of session caps, and open to subcontractors on your books as well as employed staff. Spill ticks every one: unlimited same-day sessions with therapists from the top 5% of counsellors, available 7am to 9:30pm, seven days a week, in 15+ languages, booked by a simple text. It's also the UK's highest rated EAP on Trustpilot, supporting 30,000+ employees. The honest comparison: traditional helpline EAPs cost less upfront, but between the call centres, the 6 to 8 session caps and the 2 to 5 year lock-ins, usage sits at just 3 to 5%.
It's £75 a month for the whole firm, however many electricians you've got, on a rolling 30 day contract. For a firm of 8, that works out around £9.40 per person per month for unlimited same-day therapy, with subcontractors on your books included. Compare that with traditional EAPs and their 2 to 5 year lock-ins. Book a demo and see it for yourself.
Spill is a modern alternative to helpline EAPs, built for people who work out of vans rather than offices. Your electricians book therapy by text, email, Slack or Teams from their own phone and can see a therapist the same day, 7am to 9:30pm, seven days a week. Sessions are unlimited, therapists are in the top 5% of counsellors, and usage data is aggregate-only, so nobody at the firm knows who's booked.
Electricians deal with a hard combination: precision work where lapses are dangerous, long days alone, and the isolation of van-based working. Men in construction are 3.7 times more likely to die by suicide than the male national average (ONS, via Mates in Mind 2022), and isolation is a big part of why problems go unnoticed. Spill means anyone can text for a same-day session before a bad patch becomes something worse.
Yes, Spill works for small electrical contractors and sole traders with a few staff. There's no minimum team size, it's £75 a month for everyone on your books, and setup takes days rather than months. With a rolling 30 day contract, you can try it without committing to anything long.
Construction turnover runs at around 35% a year, and mental ill-health drives significant absence and lost talent. Spill gives workers confidential, unlimited support that's easy to access from a phone. Feeling genuinely cared for is linked to better retention.
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.
