Spill's employee assistance programme (EAP) for healthtech
What does pressure feel like when your product touches patients? Healthtech teams live with clinical-grade stakes, slow regulatory approvals and the quiet worry that a bug could affect someone's care. That's a heavier load than most software jobs carry. Spill gives your whole team unlimited therapy with same-day availability, from therapists in the top 5% of registered counsellors, for £75 a month.
Same day counselling sessions
Rolling 30 day contract
Unlimited access from £75 per month

Proudly supporting healthtech teams across the UK





Clinical stakes without clinical support
Healthtech teams carry worries most software companies never face: user safety, clinical accuracy and approvals that can stall a year's work. That pressure feeds churn. The tech sector already sees around 35% staff turnover a year (CIPD / ONS, 2024), and healthtech's stakes give people extra reasons to burn out.
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)
Care for the people building care
In healthtech, an experienced engineer or clinician-turned-builder is hard to replace and their domain knowledge is harder still. Proper mental health support protects the focus your product's safety depends on, and the people behind it.
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
Healthtech teams need an EAP that matches their own standards of care: qualified practitioners, fast access and support that doesn't stop at an arbitrary session cap. Spill meets that bar. Its therapists are in the top 5% of registered counsellors, sessions are unlimited with same-day availability, and it's the UK's highest rated EAP on Trustpilot. Pricing is £75 a month for the whole team on a rolling 30 day contract, and healthtech companies like Healx, Suvera and AccuRx already trust it. A traditional helpline EAP is cheaper if you only need something on paper, but with usage at 3 to 5%, it's care in name only.
Spill costs £75 a month for the whole team, on a rolling 30 day contract with no lock-in. For a 30-person healthtech company, that's £2.50 per person per month for unlimited therapy sessions, same-day availability and therapists in the top 5% of registered counsellors. Compare that with traditional EAPs' 6 to 8 session caps and multi-year contracts. Book a demo to see the difference.
An EAP for healthtech is a workplace mental health service your team can use confidentially. Spill suits how healthtech works: same-day therapy when a regulatory decision or safety issue spikes stress, booking through Slack, MS Teams, SMS or email, and therapists available 7am to 9:30pm, seven days a week, so support fits around clinical-grade workloads.
Working in healthtech means holding two pressures at once: normal startup intensity, plus the knowledge that your product affects real patients. Regulatory setbacks, safety worries and clinical-grade rigour all add strain. The wider sector already loses around 35% of staff a year (CIPD / ONS, 2024), and unsupported pressure like this is a big part of why.
Yes. There's no minimum team size, Spill works with 600+ small companies, and setup takes days rather than months. At £75 a month for the whole team on a rolling 30 day contract, it's built to fit early-stage healthtech budgets.
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. 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.
