Spill's employee assistance programme (EAP) for hospices
Hospice work is some of the most meaningful in healthcare, and some of the heaviest. Your team sits with death and grief every day, supports families through the worst weeks of their lives, and can reach emotional saturation without anyone noticing. Spill gives hospice staff same-day therapy around shifts, with counsellors who specialise in grief and compassion fatigue, for £75 a month for the whole team.
Same day counselling sessions
Rolling 30 day contract
Unlimited access from £75 per month

Proudly supporting hospice staff across the UK





Holding grief for others, every working day
57% of carers feel overwhelmed because they can't switch off from work. In a hospice, that's hardly surprising. The emotional weight of daily proximity to death and grief, and of holding families steady through it, doesn't stay in the building when the shift ends.
Compassion fatigue
60% of care staff have experienced burnout or emotional exhaustion.
Boundary challenges
57% of carers feel overwhelmed because they can't switch off from work.
Financial pressures
61% of carers worry about their finances and struggle to make ends meet.
Caring for the people who care at the end
Staff who can process grief with a specialist counsellor sustain this work for years rather than months. That continuity means calmer teams, steadier support for families and less of the quiet attrition hospices know too well.
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 carers to process grief, compassion fatigue or just a hard week, with a therapist who specialises in exactly that. Same-day sessions fit around shifts and nights, with no waiting lists, call backs or forms.


Self-guided wellbeing resources
A library of practical, evidence-based resources written by licensed therapists who understand the unique pressures care workers face. Covering over 200 topics from burnout prevention to compassion fatigue and grief, 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 hospice, the best EAP has to meet a higher bar than most. It needs counsellors who genuinely specialise in grief and compassion fatigue, appointments that fit around clinical rotas, and absolutely no exclusions for severe or complex cases, because hospice staff carry exactly that kind of weight. Spill offers unlimited same-day sessions from 7am to 9:30pm, seven days a week, with counsellors in the top 5% nationally, and nobody is turned away for pre-existing or severe difficulties. It's the UK's highest rated EAP on Trustpilot. Traditional helpline EAPs are the cheaper route, but 6 to 8 session caps and call centre access see usage of just 3 to 5%, and six sessions is rarely enough for grief work.
Spill is £75 a month for the whole team, on a rolling 30 day contract. For a hospice team of 40 across clinical, family support and volunteer coordination roles, that's under £2 per person per month, with unlimited therapy and same-day booking for everyone. There are no session caps and no exclusions. Book a demo and we'll show you how it works.
An EAP gives hospice staff confidential therapy paid for by the organisation. Spill's counsellors sit in the top 5% nationally and include specialists in grief, trauma and compassion fatigue, which matters in this work more than almost anywhere. Staff book unlimited sessions via SMS, email, Slack or MS Teams, usually for the same day, with availability from 7am to 9:30pm, seven days a week, in more than 15 languages.
Hospice staff accompany people through dying and hold families through grief, and they do it every working day. Emotional saturation builds gradually, until one loss lands differently and there's nothing left to absorb it with. With 57% of carers feeling overwhelmed because they can't switch off from work, the risk is constant. Regular access to grief specialists helps staff empty the cup before it overflows, so they can keep doing work they believe in.
Yes. Independent and smaller hospices get the same unlimited support as large organisations. There's no minimum team size, £75 a month covers everyone, and setup takes days rather than months. The rolling 30 day contract means you can begin without any long-term financial commitment.
The care sector sees turnover of around 25% a year, and poor mental health is a major driver. Spill gives staff confidential, professional support that makes them feel genuinely cared for, which research links to greater job satisfaction and longer tenure. That helps you hold on to experienced carers.
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.
