  1. “I’ll Be Taking It Straight Back!” - When Gift Effort Isn’t Matched at Christmas & Work Party Drama!

    23/12/2025

    “I’ll Be Taking It Straight Back!” - When Gift Effort Isn’t Matched at Christmas & Work Party Drama!

    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.  A proper festive Therapy Crouch, just in time for the big day. 00:00 - Chaotic Christmas energy and opening jokes 00:49 - Father Christmas enters the chat 01:33 - When your partner hates your jokes 02:14 - Christmas presents and control arguments 02:43 - Brutal “you’re middle-aged now” voice note 04:49 - Abbey vs Peter: who actually does everything? 06:15 - Mental load of Christmas and invisible labour 09:19 - Bike-gate: the kids’ disastrous Christmas bikes 11:20 - Secret Santa spiralling out of control 15:18 - Why midweek Christmas parties are a nightmare 17:04 - Unexpected deep dive into nature documentaries 20:48 - Emotional moment about losing a family pet 22:12 - Why Christmas is about slowing life down 25:29 - Agony Ab: clashing family Christmas traditions 31:17 - Agony Ab: unmatched effort in Christmas gifts 35:03 - What Christmas is really about 35:52 - Final Christmas chaos and sign-off Email: thetherapycrouch@gmail.com  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thetherapycrouchpodcast TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thetherapycrouch  Website: https://thetherapycrouch.com/  For more from Peter https://twitter.com/petercrouch For more from Abbey https://www.instagram.com/abbeyclancy Our clips channel https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCZntcv96YhN8IvMAKsz4Dbg #TheTherapyCrouch #AbbeyAndPete #RelationshipAdvice #Podcast Hosted on Acast.

    “I’m Allowed A BUSH And He Isn’t!” - Wild Dating Double Standards & Secret Neighbour Bin Wars

    On today’s episode of The Therapy Crouch, it’s an Ask Me Anything classic as Abbey and Peter dive headfirst into your pre-Christmas dilemmas — from hilariously petty neighbour disputes to relationship double standards and DIY disasters that spiral completely out of control. A listener reveals their unwavering refusal to lose a silent bin war, while Abbey questions whether passive aggression might actually be a personality trait. The duo also tackle a plumbing nightmare caused by YouTube-fuelled confidence, debate feminism and dating preferences in a refreshingly honest Agony Abs, and respond to a powerful message about managing health anxiety with practical tools that genuinely help. There’s plenty of laughter, a few brutal truths, and some unexpectedly heartfelt moments as the pair reflect on parenting worries, mental health, and why sometimes knowing your limits is the real win. Plus, a festive teaser hints at what’s coming for the Therapy Crouch Christmas special.

    Abbey’s WILD Night Out: Wreath Making Turned Into Total Carnage & Pete’s Hilarious Reaction!

    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. There’s dating dilemmas, reflections on getting older, turning 40, and why margaritas simply cannot be trusted. If you’ve got a Christmas confession, family faux pas or festive nightmare — you know where to send it. 00:00 – Intro 01:42 – Abbey’s “wholesome” wreath-making day 02:12 – The wreath day goes wildly off the rails 02:44 – Margaritas on an empty stomach: a fatal error 03:56 – Duck choking, spitting food, and hysterics 04:37 – Alfie vomits on himself driving the M25 05:16 – “Wolf of Wall Street” levels of drunkenness 06:38 – Abbey can’t remember getting home 07:21 – Peter reacts to Abbey’s wild night out 08:18 – Kids stealing the spotlight at Jingle Bell Ball 09:03 – Ed Sheeran TikTok embarrassment 13:22 – Abbey’s Christmas scheduling chaos 16:24 – The explosive Avatar Boxing Day argument 18:44 – Peter accidentally attends kids’ maths open day 23:22 – Reflecting on the year and turning 40 28:31 – Peter spotted modelling in the women’s section 31:32 – Wedding disasters and football memories 35:48 – “My stick” story 37:34 – Elf on the Shelf horror story 42:18 – Dating apps, being single at 42 & modern love 50:29 – Six-hour coffee date ends brutally 52:03 – Christmas stories call-out and wrap-up Email: thetherapycrouch@gmail.com  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thetherapycrouchpodcast TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thetherapycrouch  Website: https://thetherapycrouch.com/  For more from Peter https://twitter.com/petercrouch For more from Abbey https://www.instagram.com/abbeyclancy Our clips channel https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCZntcv96YhN8IvMAKsz4Dbg #TheTherapyCrouch #AbbeyAndPete #RelationshipAdvice #Podcast Hosted on Acast.

  4. Dog-Sitting Disaster, Family Admin Meltdowns & The Gym Crush Story That Spiralled Out of Control

    11/12/2025

    Dog-Sitting Disaster, Family Admin Meltdowns & The Gym Crush Story That Spiralled Out of Control

    On this week’s Ask Me Anything episode of The Therapy Crouch, the chaos levels are high as Abbey and Peter dive head-first into your most unhinged dilemmas. From a roommate who’s become painfully healthy to the point of policing pizza boxes, to a listener who’s accidentally become the full-time admin assistant for her entire extended family, the pair tackle the everyday dramas we all know too well. There’s also a gym crush spiralling out of control, awkward encounters, debates about deep-pan pizza, and a dog-sitting saga involving a completely unapproved full-body shave. Abbey and Peter share stories from home, from early-morning parenting struggles to haircut catastrophes that still haunt them. In the Agony Abs, no topic is off-limits — whether it’s boundaries, compliments, or why saying “no” is borderline impossible for some people. It’s relatable, ridiculous, and very Therapy Crouch.

  5. “Rooney Threw His Drink On Me!” - Abbey’s Hilarious Childhood Story & Liverpool Dressing Room Tales

    09/12/2025

    “Rooney Threw His Drink On Me!” - Abbey’s Hilarious Childhood Story & Liverpool Dressing Room Tales

    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. If you need laughter, honesty and a bit of relationship chaos—this week’s pod has everything. 00:00 – Pete’s “Tom Selleck vibes” tash saga 01:37 – Abbey ill in bed while Pete attends Fashion Awards 02:16 – The role-reversal “Get Ready With Me” story 03:53 – Weekly Whine: Pete brings the entire golf club home… again 05:09 – Abbey’s hangover day of Chinese and McDonalds 06:32 – Their puppy’s poorly saga 08:31 – Listener letter: Classroom accents turning Scouse 10:09 – Abbey’s childhood story of Wayne Rooney throwing Coke at her 13:20 – Language learning in football changing-room culture 16:22 – The “Tilly Tilly” wedding name story 17:07 – Ross nearly becoming “Ross Ross” as a child 18:01 – Hilarious name combos 20:05 – Listener expecting a baby & football-inspired name debate 21:29 – Abbey’s full Phil Foden obsession spiral 23:03 – Abbey & Pete talk about picking baby names (Julian, Rafa, Jack) 28:33 – Abbey’s Christmas chaos & home renovations 31:22 – School Christmas fairs, nativities & Abbey’sTV show reading voice 33:04 – Listener struggling with parental anxiety & trauma 36:04 – Relationship dilemma: girlfriend’s hidden dating history 41:08 – Phone snooping disaster: partner’s private notes exposed 46:31 – “Say it, forget it.

  6. 90s Nostalgia Road Trips, Crouchy’s ‘Unexpected’ Teammate & Is Stranger Things Actually Overrated?

    04/12/2025

    90s Nostalgia Road Trips, Crouchy’s ‘Unexpected’ Teammate & Is Stranger Things Actually Overrated?

    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. If you’ve got a question, a confession, or simply a show you want them to binge—or avoid at all costs—send it in for next week’s session. 00:00 – Intro 00:38 – Mo-vember moustache debate 01:15 – The KFC/Hawkins confusion 02:28 – “How do you even send a gif?” 03:01 – Stranger Things vs Breaking Bad 03:41 – Euphoria soundtrack 04:03 – New TV recommendations 04:39 – Housewives affecting their mental health 05:11 – Wildcat documentary mention 06:05 – TV review plans 06:33 – School days: the kid called Barry Norman 07:33 – Road trip question: pick one podcast + one radio station 08:48 – 90s music nostalgia kicks off 10:02 – Radio vs podcast for long journeys 11:06 – Car battery, climate control & dashboard rant 12:12 – Power steering nostalgia 12:33 – Listener dilemma: kids in the UK & dad in the US 14:10 – Managing time zones + co-parenting advice 14:43 – Birthday request: Peter tries to leave a message 16:00 – They realise there was no phone number 16:39 – Mother–daughter story about “old Peter Crouch photos” 17:43 – The optical illusion ‘schlong’ moment 19:24 – Outro + TV recommendations request Find great deals on the things you love https://www.ebay.co.uk/  Email: thetherapycrouch@gmail.com  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thetherapycrouchpodcast TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thetherapycrouch  Website: https://thetherapycrouch.com/  For more from Peter https://twitter.com/petercrouch For more from Abbey https://www.instagram.com/abbeyclancy Our clips channel https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCZntcv96YhN8IvMAKsz4Dbg #TheTherapyCrouch #AbbeyAndPete #RelationshipAdvice #Podcast Hosted on Acast.
