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.
Same day counselling sessions
Rolling 30 day contract
Unlimited access from £75 per month

Proudly supporting consultancies and professional services across the UK





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.
All-in-one EAP for your team
Unlimited counselling sessions
A confidential space to take project pressure, with a fully qualified therapist available wherever the engagement takes your people. Same-day sessions early, late and at weekends, with no waiting lists or forms.


Self-guided wellbeing resources
A library of practical, evidence-based resources written by licensed therapists who understand the unique pressures professional services 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
The best EAP for professional services is one that fits around client work: same-day sessions early morning, evening or weekend, easy access on the road, and no caps that cut support off mid-project. Spill is the UK's highest rated EAP on Trustpilot, with unlimited counselling from £75 a month on a rolling 30 day contract. Professional services companies like FDM and Corndel use Spill to support their teams. Traditional helpline EAPs cost less per head, but they cap sessions at 6 to 8 a year and route staff to call handlers first.
Spill starts at £75 per month for your whole team, on a rolling 30 day contract you can cancel with 30 days' notice. For a 40-person consultancy that works out at under £2 per employee per month, including unlimited counselling sessions. Traditional helpline EAPs often look cheaper per head but cap or exclude actual therapy, so the real cost per session used is usually far higher. To get a tailored quote, book a free 30 minute demo.
An EAP for professional services is a confidential mental health and wellbeing service that firms provide to staff.
