Spill's employee assistance programme (EAP) for pubs & bars
Last orders gets called, the doors close, and your bar team still has two hours of cleaning down before the night bus home. Late closes, difficult customers and the blur between social life and shift work take a real toll. Spill gives your team same-day therapy that fits around shifts, booked by SMS with no desk or work email needed, all for £75 a month for the whole team.
Same day counselling sessions
Rolling 30 day contract
Unlimited access from £75 per month
Proudly supporting bar teams across the UK
The mental health pressures behind the bar
Staff turnover runs at around 47% in bars and 39% in restaurants, with 61% of leavers citing poor mental health as a factor. Late finishes, drunk customers and a job that swallows your social life all add up. Support that actually fits the work makes a real difference.
Work/life imbalance
95% of workers struggle to switch off after work, feeling constantly stressed.
Long hours
62% of employees feel burnout on a daily basis due to the number of hours worked.
High staff turnover
53% of current hospitality professionals are looking to leave their current roles.
Why pubs and bars choose Spill
Replacing a trained bartender costs time, money and team morale. When staff can talk to a therapist before problems become resignations, you keep good people longer and service stays sharp on the busiest nights.

Build resilience on the front line
Give your team practical tools to handle rush-hour pressure, difficult customers and long days on their feet.
Keep the team sharp
Staff who get support for personal and work struggles bring more energy to every shift.
Cut short-notice absence
Early support stops small struggles snowballing into last-minute call-outs and long sick leave.
All-in-one EAP for your team
Unlimited counselling sessions
Somewhere private for kitchen and floor staff to offload after a brutal service, with a fully qualified therapist rather than a helpline script. Sessions are available the same day, before opening, after close 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 hospitality workers face. Covering over 200 topics from burnout prevention to financial wellbeing 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.
