On this week’s episode of The Therapy Crouch, chaos is very much the theme as Abbey and Pete dive straight into tash turmoil, surprise mood swings and a Fashion Awards night that left Abbey fuming in her fleece at home.

We get a full breakdown of Pete’s accidental “golf-club-after-party” at their house, while Abbey confesses to the most unhinged hangover day of her life—complete with a Chinese and a Big Mac.

The pair also open up about a genuinely frightening night when their tiny puppy had to be rushed to an emergency vet, before lightening the mood with the funniest listener messages about accents, school slang and childhood run-ins—including Abbey being hit in the head with a Coke can by a young Wayne Rooney.

Names turn into a battlefield this week too, as a listener’s football-inspired baby dilemma sends Abbey and Pete spiralling into their own stories about Jack’s almost-name, why Rafa was banned, and Abbey’s unexpected crush on Phil Foden’s footwork.

In the Agony Abs, things get more emotional as they tackle trauma-based parental anxiety, hidden dating history, and the disastrous consequences of snooping through your partner’s phone.

On this week’s Ask Me Anything episode of The Therapy Crouch, chaos arrives early as the gang spiral into a full-blown debate about moustaches and whether KFC has genuinely changed its name or if Abbey has dreamed it all up.

Abbey, Peter and Ross bounce through TV recommendations, misguided attempts at sending GIFs, and a rant about modern cars being so high-tech they may as well require a degree to switch the air-con on.

We hear from listeners with dilemmas stretching from long-distance parenting across the US and UK, to birthday surprises gone wrong, to the mother–daughter moment sparked by old photos of Peter that revealed… more than expected. There’s 90s nostalgia, Real Housewives burnout, documentary talk, and plenty of those unfiltered Agony Abs moments the listeners love.

On this week’s episode of The Therapy Crouch, it’s a full-on domestic rollercoaster as Abbey and Peter catch up on a chaotic week of nits, new puppies, and the great household power shift.

Abbey walks us through a full-blown nit prevention emergency that had her sprinting between ten shops and before getting a fringe, while Pete attempts to defend himself after the time he once cut off her entire hair extension at the root during a previous lice saga.

We’re also introduced to the newest — and slightly controversial — family member: Bambi, the tiny dog who arrived under Abbey’s jumper after Pete had very explicitly said “absolutely no way” to another pet. Between debates about who actually runs the house, the kids’ obsession with babies, and Pete being caught lying face-down on a bare mattress after a dads night out, the domestic chaos is at an all-time high.

The pair also chat I’m A Celeb (even if neither of them seems to know the lineup), over-share in true Therapy Crouch style, and dive into some incredibly relatable listener dilemmas — from clingy partners to golf-related relationship politics. It’s a wholesome, mad, and very Therapy Crouch-style catch-up.

00:00:18 — Fringe chaos & shopping mishaps

00:01:20 — Movember moustache “glow up”

00:02:07 — The nit apocalypse begins

00:02:24 — Pete once cut Abbey’s hair off at the root

00:03:15 — Bambi the dog arrives (against Pete’s will)

00:19:29 — “Quality not quantity” relationship chat

00:20:41 — The coconut oil dog incident

00:23:21 — Did Pete sneak out at 3am?

00:24:53 — Glasgow Rangers lie + football dad stories

00:26:41 — eBay argument: golf clubs vs dresses

00:27:39 — “Chat GBT” chaos

00:28:47 — The 10pm nit-combing meltdown

00:35:35 — Too many knobs & taps dilemma

00:36:05 — Weekly catch-up: horse riding, football matches, date night

00:37:10 — Pete asleep face-down on a bare mattress

00:37:31 — Listener writes in about small annoyances in relationships

00:52:45 — “He’s not trying to escape… probably.”

00:53:01 — Golf politics

00:53:29 — The great golf argument

00:54:04 — “You’re the worst couch of all time.”

On this week’s episode of The Therapy Crouch, the gang are back from their travels and there is a lot to unpack. Ross kicks things off with his dreamy sunrise snorkel with horses in Barbados, while Peter gives a full theme-park debrief after their “holiday of a lifetime” to Universal Studios — including the rides that nearly had him upside-down, inside-out and mildly incontinent.

There’s chaos from Fright Night, jet-lagged 6am adventures, and a heartfelt listener story that leads them into a surprisingly deep chat about turning 40, giving fewer f*cks and finding out who you really are. Abbey dives into her latest passive-aggressive Instagram threads (no context as usual), sparking debates about midlife crises, emotional burnout and why our brains obsess over insults more than compliments.

In the Agony Abs, they help a listener whose partner double-booked their night out during peak firework season — leaving their terrified pooch in the middle. Plus, an emotional email from a mum navigating the reality of her kids moving to the other side of the world.

It’s a warm, chaotic, funny, emotional episode with plenty of wisdom… and even more unintentional nonsense.

On today’s episode of The Therapy Crouch, the gang are still living their best lives in sunny Portugal — but it’s not all cocktails and calm seas. Abbey spirals into her biggest dilemma yet: how on earth to plan her 40th birthday when every idea feels wrong? Between kitchen renovations, skipped parties, and Peter’s “whatever I do will be wrong” defeatism, tensions are high (and hilarious).

Listeners write in with tales of Fitbit-fuelled competition, friendship ghosting, and family heartbreak — including one letter that has Abbey on the verge of tears.
