Some emotional pain — like heartbreak or taking a risk and failing — can help us to learn and grow, but much of it is unnecessary: prolonged low mood, imposter syndrome and crippling social anxiety for instance are entirely negative. Spill believes that the solution to unnecessary emotional pain is already here — it just hasn't been evenly distributed yet.
Counselling and therapy have existed for over a century, and have been shown time and time again to dramatically increase emotional stability in as little as one or two sessions, and reduce symptoms of depression and anxiety as successfully as antidepressants. Spill's solution is to provide text-based chat therapy as an employee benefit, allowing their customers' staff to access BACP-registered (and equivalently qualified) counsellors on demand.
Spill aspires to become 'everything that the NHS, private health insurance and employee assistance programmes are not' - easy to access, well designed, and 100% unintimidating. It is currently working with over 600 businesses, including Rightmove and Monzo, and is delivering more than 30,000 counselling sessions per year.
