Spill's employee assistance programme (EAP) for sports clubs
Results on a Saturday, admin on a Monday, and a season that never really pauses. Sports clubs and academies run on people who give up their weekends, absorb results pressure and ride the intensity of a long campaign. Spill gives club staff unlimited therapy, usually same-day, bookable by SMS around fixtures and training, for £75 a month for the whole team.
Same day counselling sessions
Rolling 30 day contract
Unlimited access from £75 per month

The pressures of working in sport
Only 49% of fitness and leisure employers have a mental wellbeing strategy (Workforce State of Mind, 2023). For club staff dealing with results pressure, weekend-heavy schedules and the peaks of a long season, that gap matters. Sport looks after bodies brilliantly. Minds deserve the same standard.
A recent struggle
54% of fitness and active-leisure workers experienced a mental health issue in the past year. (Workforce State of Mind, 2023)
An employer support gap
Only 49% of fitness and leisure employers have a mental wellbeing strategy. (Workforce State of Mind, 2023)
A lifelong pattern
73% of fitness sector workers have experienced a mental health issue at some point in their life. (Workforce State of Mind, 2023)
Why sports clubs invest in Spill
Coaches, community staff and operations teams are hard to recruit and harder to replace mid-season. Supporting their mental health keeps experienced people at the club and keeps standards high when results wobble.

All-in-one EAP for your team
Unlimited counselling sessions
A private space for instructors, coaches and front-desk staff to talk through anything, with a fully qualified therapist. Same-day sessions that fit around classes, shifts and weekend cover, 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 sports and fitness 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.
