Spill's employee assistance programme (EAP) for production studios
Day fourteen of the shoot, the light's going, and half the crew doesn't know what they're working on after the wrap. Long days, freelance insecurity and feast-or-famine schedules make film and TV production tough on mental health. Spill gives production crews unlimited counselling with same-day availability, seven days a week, booked by SMS, email, Slack or MS Teams. It's £75 a month for the whole team, on a rolling 30 day contract.

The mental load of production work
35% of agency staff feel unable to discuss mental wellness at work, according to NABS All Ears, 2023. On a production, that silence gets louder: nobody wants to be the crew member who couldn't handle the hours, especially when the next booking depends on reputation.
Considered leaving

Why production companies pick Spill
Productions live or die on their people turning up sharp. Spill keeps crews supported through long shoots and quiet patches alike, which means fewer dropouts mid-project and a company people want to work with again.
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
A private space to decompress after the pitch, the launch or the client call that went sideways, with a fully qualified therapist. Same-day availability including evenings and weekends, booked in a few clicks from Slack, Teams or email.


Self-guided wellbeing resources
A library of practical, evidence-based resources written by licensed therapists who understand the unique pressures agency workers face. Covering over 200 topics from burnout prevention to perfectionism 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
Production hours don't fit a 9 to 5 helpline, so the best EAP for a studio offers therapy early, late and at weekends. Spill's therapists work 7am to 9:30pm GMT, seven days a week, with same-day availability, unlimited sessions and booking by SMS, email, Slack or MS Teams. Counsellors are in the top 5% of registered practitioners, therapy comes in 15+ languages, and Spill is the UK's highest rated EAP on Trustpilot, used by 30,000+ employees including teams at LS Productions and Moonraker VFX. A traditional helpline EAP is cheaper, and that's worth saying plainly. It's also capped at 6 to 8 sessions with usage of 3 to 5%, which on a stretched crew helps almost no one.
£75 a month for the whole company, however busy the slate is. A 40-person studio pays £1.88 per person per month, and everyone gets unlimited counselling with same-day availability. Because the contract rolls every 30 days, you're not signing the 2 to 5 year deals traditional EAPs push. Book a demo to see how it fits your setup and your crew sizes.
Spill is a mental health benefit built to work around production life. Every employee gets unlimited therapy sessions from counsellors in the top 5% of registered practitioners, available 7am to 9:30pm GMT, seven days a week, with same-day appointments. Booking works over SMS and email as well as Slack and MS Teams, which suits crews on location, and therapy is available in 15+ languages. It costs £75 a month for the whole team on a rolling 30 day contract.
Long shoot days drain people physically, and freelance insecurity drains them the rest of the time: feast-or-famine schedules mean the stress never fully switches off. Add the fact that 35% of agency staff feel unable to discuss mental wellness at work, per NABS All Ears, 2023, and problems stay hidden until someone drops out mid-shoot. Fast, confidential therapy gives crews somewhere to take it first.
Yes. Small studios and lean crews are covered, with no minimum team size. It's £75 a month for the whole team, you can launch in days, and the rolling 30 day contract flexes with a production schedule instead of fighting it.
Agency turnover ran at 24% across IPA member agencies in 2024. Spill gives your team confidential, unlimited support that makes them feel genuinely cared for, which is linked to greater job satisfaction and longer tenure. That keeps your best people.
Yes. Spill's counselling is available the same day, including evenings and weekends, because plenty of people don't work standard office hours.
