From the very first episode, I felt like I was listening to old friends chat and share their experiences. It's so easy to connect with them on a personal level and feel like you're part of their conversations.
One of the best aspects of The Therapy Crouch podcast is the raw honesty that Peter and Abby bring to every episode. They don't hold back when it comes to sharing their experiences, struggles, and triumphs. This authenticity creates a safe space for listeners to relate and find solace in knowing they're not alone in their own journeys. Additionally, the chemistry between Peter and Abby is undeniable. Their banter is hilarious, making each episode entertaining from start to finish.

If there was one potential downside to The Therapy Crouch podcast, it would be that some episodes can veer off into tangents or unrelated topics. While it adds to the conversational feel of the show, it may sometimes detract from the main theme or focus of an episode. However, this minor flaw hardly impacts the overall quality of the podcast.
In conclusion, The Therapy Crouch podcast is an absolute must-listen for anyone seeking genuine conversations about relationships and personal growth. Peter and Abby's honesty combined with their infectious energy makes for an incredibly enjoyable experience.

Are we saying foul play?

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.00:00 Portugal Detox & Party Recovery 01:14 Peter Gets Humbled At Tennis 03:00 “Consistency Is Key In Tennis” 04:31 Ross Update & Listener Messages 04:58 Abbey Hates Seeing Pete Lose 05:26 Abbey's Fear Of Tennis Lessons 06:27 Abbey Opens Up About Childhood & Sport 07:20 Abbey vs Peter: Ultimate Sports Day 08:31 The Couple Argument Everyone Has 10:11 Abbey's Strict Family Diary System 12:03 Why Busy Couples Always Clash 12:49 The Weirdest Relationship Ick 13:28 Running Up Stairs Debate 15:14 Abbey Reveals Her Biggest Insecurity 15:45 Abbey Discovers A “Normal” Listener 16:26 Abbey's Celebrity Lookalike Debate 18:05 Couples Sharing Hobbies Goes Wrong 19:14 TV Shows They Refuse To Watch Together 20:37 Hunger Games & Comfort Movies 21:39 The Best Holiday Advice Ever 22:52 Tail's.com Ad Read 24:28 Desert Island Dilemmas Begin 25:35 The One Book They'd Save Forever 27:31 Roald Dahl & Childhood Reading Memories 28:07 Abbey's Disturbing Book Confession 30:15 The Secret To Getting Kids Reading 30:55 Desert Island Albums 31:41 Oasis, Nostalgia & Dad Rock Arguments 34:04 Abbey's Beckham Garden Obsession 35:34 Doomscrolling & “Ignorance Is Bliss” 36:19 Peter's James Bond Fantasy Life 36:40 Peter's Visit To Eton 37:49 Inside Eton's Incredible Traditions 39:15 What Makes Privileged Kids Different? 41:02 The Reality Of Elite Schools 42:40 The Team Debate Luxury & Success 44:18 What They'd Actually Miss On A Desert Island 46:03 Desert Island Guilty Pleasures 47:51 Holiday Packing Essentials 49:20 Things Couples Secretly Judge Each Other For 51:08 Their Most Addictive Habits 52:44 Listener Dilemmas Return 54:33 Final Portugal Reflections 56:17 EndTo contact us:Email: thetherapycrouch@gmail.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/thetherapycrouchpodcast/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thetherapycrouchWebsite: https://thetherapycrouch.com/For more from Peterhttps://twitter.com/petercrouchFor more from Abbeyhttps://www.instagram.com/abbeyclancyOur clips channelhttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCZntcv96YhN8IvMAKsz4Dbg Hosted on Acast.

The pair clash over style, money, and what really matters when building a home, leading to a deeper conversation about whether a house is just a house… or something much more meaningful.Plus, the gang answer your questions on relationships, from navigating design disagreements with your partner to planning the perfect 15-year anniversary without breaking the bank—featuring some seriously tempting travel tips (Greece might be calling…).

On today's episode of The Therapy Crouch, Abbey and Peter are back with their usual mix of honesty, chaos and laugh-out-loud moments as they dive into the realities of relationships and family life.Things kick off with Abbey's “weekly whine” as she calls out Peter's inability to say “no”—leading to confusing messages, overcomplicated situations and a few relationship frustrations. Peter hits back, claiming he's just trying not to offend people, sparking a relatable debate about communication styles in relationships.We also hear about a disastrous night's sleep thanks to Abbey's beloved Calm app, as Peter reveals how a relaxing meditation voice actually leaves him wide awake.

He also shares the story behind his brand new “Legacy” album, featuring remastered classics, brand new tracks and some huge collaborations from around the world.Emily gives us a real insight into balancing life as a doctor, a mum of three and being married to one of the most recognisable faces in British pop culture — including what it's actually like holding down the fort while Pete is away touring.We also get into how the couple first met (and it involves a hospital visit you won't believe), parenting across different ages, the realities of long-term relationships and why communication has completely changed Pete's outlook as a dad.Plus, there's plenty of classic Therapy Crouch chaos — from cooking disasters and naked dancing to brutally honest relationship moments that every couple will recognise.If you want to submit an Agony Ab to the podcast - hit the link belowhttps://docs.google.com/forms/d/1rAKDST4HU_8al_aWpOlys3TRJrWvDV-84piVdlOOjU4/edit00:00 Introduction04:07 Welcoming Peter & Emily Andre05:33 Touring Life & “Home Is More Full On”08:27 30 Years Of “Mysterious Girl” & New Album11:18 Iconic Music Videos & Behind The Scenes14:13 Legacy Album, Collaborations & Touring Again17:45 How Peter & Emily Andre First Met18:42 Relationship Beginnings & Asking Permission19:06 Parenting, Kids & Growing Up Fast23:08 Emily's Career As A Doctor24:00 Writing Books & Life With Kids28:13 The Tampon Story (How Pete Learned The Hard Way)30:28 Fan Questions Begin33:00 Relationships, Marriage & Long-Term Love38:00 Family Life, Balance & Career Pressures43:00 Parenting Challenges & Modern Family Life48:00 Looking Back On Career & Lessons Learned53:00 Final Thoughts & Reflections56:30 OutroTo contact us:Email: thetherapycrouch@gmail.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/thetherapycrouchpodcast/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thetherapycrouchWebsite: https://thetherapycrouch.com/For more from Peter Andrehttps://twitter.com/peterandreFor more from Abbeyhttps://www.instagram.com/abbeyclancyOur clips channelhttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCZntcv96YhN8IvMAKsz4Dbg Hosted on Acast.

On today's episode of The Therapy Crouch, Abbey and Peter are back with another chaotic catch up as Peter reveals he's started a brand new fitness regime and has become absolutely obsessed with swimming, which Abbey is convinced is just proof he's embracing his inner old man in the pool. Abbey also tells us all about her very glamorous day out at Fulham where she enjoyed oysters, pancakes and a full English in the brand new Riverside hospitality stand, although she admits it might not be the most authentic football experience. Things quickly heat up when Abbey calls Peter out for secretly adding things to the family diary, leaving her to juggle four school runs and a mysterious training challenge she's currently preparing for. In the Agony Abs, a listener writes in with a bizarre dilemma as her neighbour appears to be slowly stealing her cat, which leads to a hilarious debate about whether cats actually choose their owners and what you should do when your pet starts spending more time next door than at home.

With a sheer drop beside the road, cars piling up behind her and the kids in the back, the pressure quickly became overwhelming as she tried to navigate one of the narrowest roads she's ever driven.Peter also finds himself under fire as Abbey recalls another recent car journey with him behind the wheel, comparing the experience to the Wolf of Wall Street boat scene thanks to some rather aggressive acceleration and braking.The team also tackle some of your questions, including a sticky dating situation where a listener may have complicated his love life after getting a barmaid's number… only to realise she's friends with his new girlfriend.Plus there's discussion around relationship “wine therapy”, whether sitting down with a glass of wine actually helps solve arguments or just makes things worse, the ultimate wine vs beer debate, and some hilarious ideas for the kids' next fancy dress outfits.If you want to submit an AMA question to the podcast - hit the link belowhttps://docs.google.com/forms/d/1rAKDST4HU_8al_aWpOlys3TRJrWvDV-84piVdlOOjU4/editThe Therapy Crouch is sponsored by TUI!

On today's episode of The Therapy Crouch, it's a Mother's Day special on the podcast as Abbey and Peter welcome a very special guest onto the couch — Abbey's mum Karen. The episode kicks off with Pete admitting to a classic husband fail after forgetting Abbey's very first Mother's Day which sparks a debate about the pressure of getting the perfect gift and whether husbands should actually be responsible for organising the day at all.Abbey also reveals that she's been secretly editing Pete's flower orders over the years to make sure she actually gets the bouquet she wants, while Pete defends himself saying the expectations around special occasions are getting out of hand.Later on Karen joins the pod and shares stories about Abbey growing up, what she was really like as a child and why she always knew her daughter would end up performing and entertaining. We also hear about pregnancy cravings, family traditions in Liverpool and what Mother's Day looks like once your kids grow up and start their own families.In the Agony Abs we hear from a mum who secretly hates Mother's Day and another listener wondering if her husband should still be helping the kids organise gifts even now they're teenagers.If you want to submit an Agony Ab to the podcast - hit the link belowhttps://docs.google.com/forms/d/1rAKDST4HU_8al_aWpOlys3TRJrWvDV-84piVdlOOjU4/edit00:00 Introduction02:00 Ricky Gervais “Going Big Time” Story03:20 Awkward Fan Encounters & Golf Story with Alan Shearer05:40 Abbey's Lurch Dog Obsession07:05 The “Failed Police Dog” Story09:00 What They're Watching Right Now10:35 Pete's First Mother's Day Fail12:00 Abbey's Weekly Wine: Pete's “Organising” Skills14:30 The Pressure of Mother's Day Gifts16:40 Listener Confession: “I Hate Mother's Day”18:30 Abbey Admits She Changes Pete's Flower Orders19:40 Kitchen Hygiene Debate (Upside Down Cups)21:30 Abbey's Mum Joins the Podcast23:00 Pregnancy Cravings & Chip Shop Stories25:15 What Abbey Was Like Growing Up26:40 Karen on Abbey's Talent as a Child28:00 The Reality of Having a Newborn29:00 Abbey Still Wants More Kids30:00 How Mother's Day Traditions Have ChangedTo contact us:Email: thetherapycrouch@gmail.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/thetherapycrouchpodcast/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thetherapycrouchWebsite: https://thetherapycrouch.com/For more from Peterhttps://twitter.com/petercrouchFor more from Abbeyhttps://www.instagram.com/abbeyclancyOur clips channelhttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCZntcv96YhN8IvMAKsz4Dbg Hosted on Acast.

On today's episode of The Therapy Crouch, Abbey and Peter are answering your burning questions in another chaotic Ask Us Anything special - and nothing is off limits.The pod kicks off with a listener dealing with what can only be described as “strategic bowel syndrome”, as one husband mysteriously disappears to the toilet every single time parenting duties begin. Abbey has a surprisingly brutal solution involving adult nappies, while Pete shares his own suspicious bathroom habits.Elsewhere, the pair help a listener who's struggling to pull at the races, debate whether it's ever okay to stay friends with an ex, and give advice to someone whose dad has completely taken over their wedding plans after offering to pay for it.There's also a surprisingly deep discussion about AI robots in the home, Abbey reveals what it's really like walking the runway as a model during fashion week, and the team share their most awkward cinema experiences – including sneaking McDonald's into the theatre and a dog causing absolute chaos mid-movie.And in one of the strangest dilemmas yet, Pete discovers the bizarre world of fantasy romance books, as Abbey explains why so many women are hooked on these wildly popular stories.If you want to submit a question for the podcast – hit the link below.00:00 Introduction01:20 “Strategic Bowel Syndrome” Husband04:20 Dating Advice For A Single Guy06:00 Dad Taking Over The Wedding08:30 Would You Have A Robot At Home?12:05 Abbey's Runway Advice For Models14:10 Staying Friends With Your Ex17:00 Dog Chaos In The Cinema20:00 Sneaking Food Into Movies22:00 The Rise Of Fantasy Romance Books25:00 Romance Films vs Real RelationshipsTo contact us:Email: thetherapycrouch@gmail.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/thetherapycrouchpodcast/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thetherapycrouchWebsite: https://thetherapycrouch.com/For more from Peterhttps://twitter.com/petercrouchFor more from Abbeyhttps://www.instagram.com/abbeyclancyOur clips channelhttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCZntcv96YhN8IvMAKsz4Dbg Hosted on Acast.

On today's episode of The Therapy Crouch, things get steamy (and seriously educational) as Abbey and Peter are joined by renowned sex educator, journalist and PhD researcher Alix Fox.Alix has spent over two decades exploring the ins and outs (quite literally) of intimacy, fetishes and modern relationships. From her early days reporting on BDSM and subcultures, to working as a script consultant on Netflix's Sex Education, and now completing a PhD at UCL focused on HIV prevention — Alix has seen every side of the conversation when it comes to sex.The trio dive into everything from the rise in fantasy-inspired sex toys (up 244% this year!), to why more than half of women admit to faking orgasms to protect their partner's feelings. They discuss the stigma straight men still face around sex toys, how to introduce fantasies into long-term relationships without offending your partner, and whether honesty in the bedroom is always the best policy.There are jaw-dropping sex disaster stories (including a frozen sausage incident you will never unhear), eye-opening insights into menopause and libido, and practical advice for couples who want to reset their expectations without hurting feelings.It's funny, shocking, awkward and genuinely informative — and it might just change the way you think about your sex life.

Plus, Abbey gets brutally honest about weddings, security and why sometimes you need to give your man a kick up the arse.We also hear about the worst house guest of all time — porch vomit, dressing gown theft and zero self-awareness — before deciding whether ghosting is ever acceptable.It's bonk beats vs Classic FM, hot mum paranoia and some very strong opinions on men being completely useless.If you want to submit an Agony Ab to the podcast – hit the link belowhttps://docs.google.com/forms/d/1rAKDST4HU_8al_aWpOlys3TRJrWvDV-84piVdlOOjU4/edit00:00 Introduction01:00 Valentine's Day & Ross reveal tease02:00 Ross photo-fit challenge05:00 Hot mum/Stiffler's Mum debate07:00 Glow up vs no compliments11:15 Ex passion vs secure love14:00 Classic FM car chaos15:30 13-year proposal dilemma18:30 Wedding cost chat20:45 Festival weirdo house guest24:00 Dressing gown drama & ghosting27:50 Book giveaway31:10 Valentine's sign-offTo contact us:Email: thetherapycrouch@gmail.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/thetherapycrouchpodcast/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thetherapycrouchWebsite: https://thetherapycrouch.com/For more from Peterhttps://twitter.com/petercrouchFor more from Abbeyhttps://www.instagram.com/abbeyclancyOur clips channelhttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCZntcv96YhN8IvMAKsz4Dbg Hosted on Acast.

Plus, there's a steamy surprise segment on erotic literature—complete with dramatic readings and some very questionable knots.Finally, it's nickname heaven as listeners send in their best ever rude, weird and wildly inappropriate names for mates—featuring “Pothole”, “Slinky”, and the unforgettable “Joy Button.”Send in your Agony Abs, weekly wines, and nickname game entries below!00:00 - Introduction04:32 - Gone Golfin'18:01 - Valentine's Day!29:05 - Bonk Beats Book Club35:20 - Joy Button41:18 - So (Ham) Salad45:33 - Competition time!To contact us: Email: thetherapycrouch@gmail.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thetherapycrouchpodcast/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/ @thetherapycrouch Website: https://thetherapycrouch.com/ For more from Peterhttps://twitter.com/petercrouchFor more from Abbeyhttps://www.instagram.com/abbeyclancyOur clips channelhttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCZntcv96YhN8IvMAKsz4Dbg Hosted on Acast.

Happy New Year from Abbey and Peter!

On today's Christmas special of The Therapy Crouch, Abbey and Peter deliver their very own festive spin on the Queen's Speech, reflecting on a year of love, growth and the tiny habits that quietly drive us mad.From red flags that shout to beige flags that whisper “this will annoy you forever”, they take a wry look back at the moments that have tested relationships up and down the country.There's talk of mismatched sexual rhythms, questionable storage discoveries, awkward festive gatherings and the universal comfort of knowing someone else is also silently judging something small.With music confessions, language debates and plenty of wine-fuelled wisdom, Abbey and Peter remind us that none of us are perfect — but if things get tense this Christmas… just grow up.

On today's festive episode of The Therapy Crouch, Abbey and Peter are fully embracing the chaos as Christmas Eve quickly approaches. With Santa hats on and patience running low, the pair dive headfirst into the realities of family life at the most wonderful (and stressful) time of year. From mismatched gift expectations and Secret Santa dramas to the unseen mental load that comes with organising Christmas, nothing is off-limits.The episode is packed with classic Crouchy banter, including a Christmas bike purchase that didn't quite go to plan, debates over midweek work parties, and why men somehow always miss the brief when it comes to presents. In the Agony Abs, listeners write in with festive dilemmas ranging from clashing family traditions to the disappointment of unbalanced effort under the tree.There's laughter, a few emotional moments, and plenty of honest reflection on what Christmas is really about — slowing down, being together, and surviving the madness as a family.

On today's episode of The Therapy Crouch, Abbey and Peter catch up after what can only be described as one of Abbey's most chaotic nights out to date. What began as a wholesome wreath-making afternoon quickly spiralled into margaritas on empty stomachs, vomiting on the motorway, missed shopping trips and a Christmas wreath riding shotgun in a car full of regret.Peter shares festive family highlights from the Jingle Bell Ball, including kids desperate for screen time, a painfully awkward Ed Sheeran TikTok moment and Abbey discovering Peter modelling a velvet suit… in the women's section. There's diary drama, Christmas planning chaos, Boxing Day cinema arguments and Peter accidentally attending a maths open day instead of seeing the boys.In listener messages, we hear everything from wedding day disasters and unforgettable anniversaries to Elf on the Shelf horror stories that absolutely cross the line.

It's relatable, ridiculous, and very Therapy Crouch.If you want to submit your own Agony Ab, hit the link below!00:00 – Intro01:15 – Wholesome lorry-driver compliments02:17 – Shout-out to the HGV listeners03:00 – Parenting chat: kids at Jingle Bell Ball04:20 – Music tastes and the Will Smith surprise05:30 – The “painfully healthy” roommate dilemma06:20 –Abbey's mission to get fit for 4007:12 – Pizza guilt & balance chat08:24 – The great “deep pan vs thin crust” debate10:00 – Everyman x Franco Manca Theory10:29 – “Family Secretary” dilemma13:16 – Gym crush chaos — sliding off the bench14:35 – Why we can't say “no” to people16:10 – Do compliments offend or flatter?22:07 – The outrageous dog-sitter grooming incident24:12 – Kid haircut horror stories25:28 – Swimming, gym chat and closing laughsEmail: thetherapycrouch@gmail.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thetherapycrouchpodcastTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thetherapycrouch Website: https://thetherapycrouch.com/ For more from Peterhttps://twitter.com/petercrouchFor more from Abbeyhttps://www.instagram.com/abbeyclancyOur clips channelhttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCZntcv96YhN8IvMAKsz4Dbg#TheTherapyCrouch #AbbeyAndPete #RelationshipAdvice #Podcast Hosted on Acast.

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 mishaps00:01:20 — Movember moustache “glow up”00:02:07 — The nit apocalypse begins00:02:24 — Pete once cut Abbey's hair off at the root00:03:15 — Bambi the dog arrives (against Pete's will)00:04:15 — Abbey's childhood pet trauma00:19:29 — “Quality not quantity” relationship chat00:20:41 — The coconut oil dog incident00:23:21 — Did Pete sneak out at 3am?00:24:53 — Glasgow Rangers lie + football dad stories00:26:41 — eBay argument: golf clubs vs dresses00:27:39 — “Chat GBT” chaos00:28:47 — The 10pm nit-combing meltdown00:35:35 — Too many knobs & taps dilemma00:36:05 — Weekly catch-up: horse riding, football matches, date night00:37:10 — Pete asleep face-down on a bare mattress00:37:31 — Listener writes in about small annoyances in relationships00:52:45 — “He's not trying to escape… probably.”00:53:01 — Golf politics00:53:29 — The great golf argument00:54:04 — “You're the worst couch of all time.”Email: thetherapycrouch@gmail.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thetherapycrouchpodcastTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thetherapycrouch Website: https://thetherapycrouch.com/ For more from Peterhttps://twitter.com/petercrouchFor more from Abbeyhttps://www.instagram.com/abbeyclancyOur clips channelhttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCZntcv96YhN8IvMAKsz4Dbg#TheTherapyCrouch #AbbeyAndPete #RelationshipAdvice #Podcast Hosted on Acast.
