Company profile
researched Aug 2026Spill sells an employee assistance programme (EAP) that employers offer to their staff as a mental health benefit. Employees can use it for personal and professional difficulties, including mental health conditions such as anxiety, low mood and ADHD; life events such as bereavement, divorce and new parenthood; and work-related issues such as stress, burnout and workplace conflict. Support is delivered through sessions with qualified counsellors, with the company stating that it offers human rather than AI-delivered counselling and that unlimited in-the-moment counsellor support is available to employees.
Alongside individual counselling, the product set includes support and training for managers to help them identify and signpost struggling team members, specialist neurodiversity sessions covering ADHD and autism, and integrations that create a referral pathway from Spill into an employer's health insurance and other benefits. The company positions the offering as a single place for an employer to manage its mental health provision.

Traction
The website states Spill is used by over 600 companies of all sizes, and features customer accounts including one employer reporting a significant decrease in mental-health-related absence over six months.
