The Therapy Crouch

On today’s episode of The Therapy Crouch, Abbey and Peter attempt another long-distance podcast recording... and quickly realise just how difficult it is to be apart.

After a chaotic start filled with technical disasters, Peter opens up about life at the World Cup, meeting internet superstar IShowSpeed, and why being away from home is proving tougher than expected. Meanwhile, Abbey has fully embraced life in Portugal, from horse riding on the beach to becoming the ultimate football mum.

The couple discuss whether they’re any good at long distance, Peter’s frustrations with communication while he’s away, and why they both agree being apart simply doesn’t suit them.

Plus, listener emails spark conversations about celebrity lookalikes, bizarre relationship situations, modern dating dilemmas and one particularly awkward bedroom problem that leaves Abbey and Peter struggling to keep a straight face.

On today’s episode of The Therapy Crouch, Abbey and Peter are back for another Ask Me Anything episode and things quickly take a surprisingly therapeutic turn.

The pair tackle everything from moving across the world and starting over in Los Angeles, to the relationship habits that secretly drive people mad.

There’s a heated debate over butter etiquette, cheese board rules and Peter’s definitive ranking of bottled water, before the conversation shifts into some genuinely heartfelt advice for a listener considering leaving behind friends, family and a successful career for a brand new life abroad.

We also hear about a listener whose boyfriend can’t fall asleep without listening to The Therapy Crouch, discuss why Peter thinks LA is completely different from what he expected, and settle the age-old question of whether Abbey could beat Peter at any physical activity.

On today’s episode of The Therapy Crouch, Abbey and Peter are back for another AMA episode as they answer your dilemmas, share some hilarious stories and dish out their brutally honest advice.

The gang kick things off by talking about spending time apart for the first time in a while before a conversation about restaurant etiquette and customer service spirals into a rant about supermarket managers, jangling keychains and the ultimate "jobsworth" behaviour.

We also hear one of Abbey's most awkward holiday stories ever as an innocent dinner invitation takes a very unexpected turn, leaving her too nervous to tell Peter what had actually happened until much later.

Also, Abbey and Peter help a listener who told someone they loved them only to have the feeling go unreturned, discussing heartbreak, rejection and why sometimes walking away is the healthiest option. We also tackle a bedroom dilemma from a listener looking to spice things up in his relationship, leading to one of the funniest and most chaotic conversations we've had in a long time.

Welcome back to The Therapy Crouch! We’re in the middle of a house move, a country move, and apparently, Pete is starting his new life as a full-time farmer.

In today’s episode, Abbey recounts what can only be described as the most traumatic parking incident in Everyman Cinema history. Let’s just say a 16-year-old staff member and a "barricade" of cars left her in actual tears.

Meanwhile, Pete has bypassed the butcher and come home with live Koi Carp and a brood of ducklings. We introduce you to Bob, Pip, and the rest of the gang—plus, we dive into your "Weekly Whines," including a bottomless brunch disaster and a fan confession that proves Pete’s "accidental sex appeal" is still going strong.

On today’s episode of The Therapy Crouch, Abbey and Peter are back in Portugal for another AMA and things quickly descend into chaos as they discuss the little things that seem to annoy them more and more with age.

Peter shares his surprising obsession with supermarket trolleys while Abbey reveals the birthday party booking experience that left both of them completely baffled. The pair debate why some people seem determined to make life difficult for everyone around them, from awkward customer service encounters to airport staff who appear to enjoy saying no.

We also answer more of your AMA questions, including which football legends Abbey would love to have on the podcast, the footballers and managers she'd most like to interview, and Peter’s thoughts on some of the biggest names in the game.

In the Agony Abs, we hear from a listener whose attempt to spice up a long-distance relationship went spectacularly wrong after sending an extremely personal voice note to completely the wrong person. Plus, Abbey and Peter reveal their own accidental messaging disasters that they'll never live down.

On today's episode of The Therapy Crouch, Abbey is completely consumed by the house of her dreams as she reveals how a 15-year search has finally come to an end and why decorating it has become an all-consuming obsession. Peter also shares the story of a recent speaking event where he discovered not everyone is his biggest fan, leading to a hilarious conversation about criticism, internet comments and being judged by people you've never even met.

The gang then get stuck into the world of stag dos, debating what actually makes the perfect lads' trip and whether some traditions should finally be left in the past. In the Agony Abs, one listener is left fuming after her boyfriend returns from a stag do and proudly reveals exactly what went on during a trip to a strip club, sparking a huge discussion around trust, honesty and relationship boundaries.

We also hear from a new mum whose partner walked away shortly after the birth of their baby, leading to some of Abbey's strongest advice yet on parenthood, responsibility and putting family first.

On today’s Ask Me Anything episode of The Therapy Crouch, Abbey and Peter are still living their best lives in Portugal as they answer your most random, chaotic and hilarious questions yet. Peter reveals his bizarre talent for recognising footballers from just their forehead, the gang debate whether digestive biscuits have got thinner over the years and Abbey shares the household tasks she absolutely refuses to do.

The conversation quickly spirals into dream movie roles, awkward running styles, questionable farming smells and whether being called “Daddy” in bed really does increase testosterone levels by 300%. There’s also chat about Arctic Monkeys, celebrity acting ambitions, animal births, podcast life behind the scenes and why Abbey would rather play a crackhead than a glamorous role.

On today’s episode of The Therapy Crouch, Abbey and Peter are back in Portugal and things descend into chaos almost immediately as Pete gets called out for his bizarre podcast habits, the couple debate whether men dress like toddlers on holiday and Abbey relives her iconic school lunch era involving giant sandwiches, wham bars and borrowing 20p from classmates for dinner.

The Agony Abs are particularly unhinged this week as the team discuss whether a grown man letting his mum trim his toenails is the ultimate relationship ick, before tackling a wedding guest dilemma involving cheating, exes and potential reception carnage. Pete also reveals his strict “no dickhead policy” for weddings and why some guests simply have to go.

There’s also a surprise guest appearance that completely changes the mood of the podcast and leaves the whole room unexpectedly relaxed. The gang chat stress, burnout, sleep struggles and why certain voices instantly calm you down… while others do the exact opposite.

Plus, football flight tracking, weird family beauty treatments, podcast breathing complaints and why Abbey thinks Peter has officially become too calm.

On today’s Ask Me Anything episode of The Therapy Crouch, Abbey and Peter are back in Portugal answering your dilemmas and diving into absolute chaos from start to finish. From debating whether three dogs is officially too many, to navigating awkward step-parenting moments and hilarious regional slang debates, this episode has a bit of everything.

The pair also open up about family life and the emotional reality of living far away from parents as one listener asks for advice about moving abroad and missing home. Abbey shares why she’d never cope with the kids leaving home while Peter reveals the lockdown-style family traditions he’d bring back in a heartbeat.

Elsewhere, the GCSE debate returns as listeners question whether Abbey really got the grades she claims, leading to a full-on interrogation from Peter and the team... Are we saying foul play?

There’s also audiobook confessions, freezing cold Portugal weather complaints, and a lot of discussion about “freezies”, “ice pops” and “lolly ice” that completely derails the episode.

On today’s episode of The Therapy Crouch, Abbey and Peter are still living their best lives in Portugal… although Pete’s ego may have taken a slight battering after a disastrous mixed doubles tennis tournament against a group of senior citizens who absolutely wiped the floor with him. Abbey wastes no time exposing exactly what went wrong, including Pete’s “respectful” approach that spectacularly backfired.

The couple also dive into one of the biggest causes of relationship tension — diary planning. From golf days and family logistics to who really controls the calendar at home, Abbey explains why every single plan now has to go through Claire before marital chaos erupts. Plus, the gang discuss relationship “icks”, going upstairs two at a time, hobbies couples should definitely keep separate, and whether Oasis officially counts as “Dad Rock”.

Elsewhere, Abbey reveals her surprising obsession with David Beckham’s vegetable garden and chickens, Peter reminisces about Oasis nostalgia and Desert Island albums, and the team debate what books and music they’d take if stranded forever. There’s also talk of reality TV habits, holiday advice, and why some things are simply better enjoyed without your partner.
