Spill's employee assistance programme (EAP) for tech companies
Tech moves fast and expects people to keep up: shipping deadlines, on-call rotas, constant change, and a culture where struggling quietly is easy. Spill was built by a startup, for startups and scale-ups, and it lives inside the tools your team already uses. Employees book a therapist in Slack or Teams and talk the same day.
Same day counselling sessions
Rolling 30 day contract
Unlimited access from £75 per month
Proudly supporting tech companies across the UK
The always-on cost of building things fast
Tech work carries distinct psychological hazards: long hours at screens, high cognitive demand, rapid change and constant connectivity. The pressure falls hardest on lower-autonomy roles, and a culture that prizes output can make it hard for anyone to admit they're struggling.
Technicians at risk
IT technicians have more than twice the odds of anxiety or depression compared with IT managers. (UK Biobank study, 2022)
Half plan to quit
52% of developers plan to leave their current job within a year, with pay the top reason. (CodinGame & CoderPad, 2023)
High turnover
The tech and communications sector sees around 35% staff turnover a year, above the UK average. (CIPD / ONS, 2024)
Happy teams ship better products
With sector turnover around 35% and half of developers open to leaving, a benefit people actually use is one of the cheapest retention levers you have. Spill's usage runs far above the 3 to 5% typical of helpline EAPs.

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
Book a therapist directly from Slack or Teams and talk the same day, about burnout, imposter syndrome or anything else. No waiting lists, no phone menus, no forms, and sessions run into the evening and at weekends.
Self-guided wellbeing resources
A library of practical, evidence-based resources written by licensed therapists who understand the unique pressures tech workers face. Covering over 200 topics from burnout prevention to imposter syndrome 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.
An EAP the way it should be
Proper mental health support that’s incredibly easy to access.
No hidden exclusions, no hoops to jump through, and no unexpected exit fees.
