Spill's employee assistance programme (EAP) for professional services and consulting

Client-first cultures are great for clients and hard on the people serving them. UK consultants average 9.3 unpaid hours of overtime a week, and the up-or-out treadmill blurs work into life. Spill gives consultancies and advisory firms mental health support that travels with the job: same-day sessions early, late, at weekends, wherever your people are.

The real price of client-first

Consulting strains mental health through a client-first culture of high external expectations, tight project deadlines, an up-or-out performance model and frequent travel. Together these push typical weeks to 50 to 80 hours and routine unpaid overtime that blurs the line between professional and personal life.

Long hours

77% of UK consultants work more than their contracted hours, an average of 9.3 extra unpaid hours a week. (Consultancy.uk)

Always-on exhaustion

Around half of professionals always or often feel exhausted (52%) or stressed (49%). (Deloitte, 2024)

A stressed workforce

91% of UK adults faced high or extreme pressure or stress in the past year. (Mental Health UK, 2026)

Sustainable teams win repeat business

In professional services your people are the product, and turnover near 30% erodes both margins and client relationships. Spill helps you keep your best consultants healthy and ready for the next engagement.

Perform under pressure, sustainably

Help your people manage deadline pressure and perfectionism without burning out.

Protect focus and judgement

Clear heads make better decisions for clients, especially in high-stakes weeks.

Reduce quiet absence

Presenteeism and sick days both fall when people have somewhere to take the pressure.
