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.

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.

On today’s Ask Us Anything episode of The Therapy Crouch, Abbey, Peter and Ross dive head-first into your juiciest dilemmas – and this one gets heated.

We hear from a newlywed struggling with intimacy after anxiety medication kills his wife’s sex drive, sparking an honest conversation about desire, frustration and when it’s time to get professional help.

Then things really kick off as Abbey reacts to a listener who went through her partner’s phone and found bikini pics, pub messages and lads’ group chat behaviour that crosses the line. Is it just “boys’ banter”… or is it borderline cheating?

From trust, boundaries and when sorry just isn’t enough, to iconic football songs and questionable swimming chat, this episode has everything.

On today’s episode of The Therapy Crouch, it’s time for a Best Of special – the funniest, most chaotic and downright outrageous moments of the year so far.

From Peter’s accidental 6AM “private” workout in the pod (that may or may not have been caught on camera), to Abbey discovering she was someone’s lock screen… nothing is off limits. We revisit the now-infamous saturation diver jellyfish story (yes, it’s as bad as you remember), Pete’s Ibiza jellyfish disaster, and the marriage debate that had everyone shouting “you’re not present at all!”

Plus, the Nickname Game Hall of Fame returns with some absolute crackers — including “Cordless”, “Pothole” and the one ( you know the one!) that nearly broke the internet.

There’s posture problems, packing arguments, erotic literature confusion, scuba diving fails and proof (apparently) that Abbey is a full-blown sex symbol.

On today’s Ask Me Anything episode of The Therapy Crouch, Abbey and Peter are diving headfirst into your dilemmas — and nothing is off limits.

From a gym co-owner who’s fed up of being mistaken for “the boss’s wife”, to a couple navigating pregnancy hormones after IVF, Abbey and Pete don’t hold back with their honest (and slightly chaotic) advice.

We get into the great boyfriend-at-50 debate, whether you’re ever too old for labels, and Abbey reveals why she’d never walk down the aisle again. There’s also a conversation about mismatched sex drives during pregnancy that gets very real… very quickly.

And in possibly the most Therapy Crouch segment ever, the team tackle the “Bumfluff Epidemic” — should men be manscaping their backsides in 2026?

Plus, Peter issues a public apology to a listener’s daughter after accidentally smashing a football into her face at Stamford Bridge.

On today’s episode of The Therapy Crouch, things spiral almost immediately as Abbey and Peter dive into everything from our newly launched BONK BEAT BOOK CLUB chaos to one of the most unfiltered birthday calls we’ve ever heard.

Peter shares a listener confession that had him panicking when his wife called his bluff and asked to go through his phone…

We also hear the return of The Nickname Game, featuring some truly outrageous submissions including ‘Thrush’, ‘Harpic’ and the now infamous ‘Butt Plug’ — before Abbey calls her dad live on air for his birthday… and he absolutely steals the show.

In the Agony Abs, we hear from a listener who fears he’s about to lose another relationship because he struggles to show affection — sparking an honest and surprisingly emotional conversation about how men are raised to express (or suppress) their feelings.

On today’s episode of The Therapy Crouch AMA, Pedro’s off sick so it’s just Abbey and Ross holding down the fort — and chaos ensues.

We kick things off with Ross’s long-awaited face reveal as Abbey recruits the listeners to send in their best photo-fit sketches before the big reveal. There’s also Valentine’s chat, glow-up jealousy and a listener whose partner hasn’t noticed her transformation (men, do better).

In the Agony Abs, we tackle a relationship that’s missing the passion of an ex, the 13-year wait for a proposal, and whether a ring actually changes anything. 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.

In today’s episode of The Therapy Crouch, it’s Valentine’s Day week—and love is not in the air for everyone. Abbey and Peter dive into the chaos of coupledom, unpacking dodgy Valentine’s Day traditions, emotionally-charged listener rants, and their own romantic misfires.

The duo also get into thoughtful (and not-so-thoughtful) gifts, including matching PJs that never made it and strawberry body butter that’s become too predictable.

We also hear from a listener whose Valentine's re-evaluation spiral triggered a relationship crisis, and another whose fiancé ruins every gift by announcing it first. 

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.”

On today’s episode of The Therapy Crouch, things go from hilarious to heartwarming as Abbey and Peter dive into a chaotic mix of birthday surprises, burnt chocolate cats, and alien conspiracies. 

From a charity lunch that ended in shots and Scouse storytelling to Peter’s “notes app revelation” and Abbey’s laser-focused hen do planning, this episode is jam-packed with relatable rants, golden anecdotes, and off-the-cuff laughs.

Pete reflects on the strange phenomenon of being married to a sex symbol (while being shabbered in public toilets), and Abbey shares her intense need to over-plan every detail of life—while Pete floats in football-induced chaos. 

They also go deep on aliens, robot dogs, and conspiracy theories, questioning whether Jeff Bezos might be one of them. 

Meanwhile, listeners write in with snoring scandals, regrettable screen-savers, and shocking first-time confessions.

As always, it’s candid, chaotic, and comfortingly unfiltered.

On this week’s episode of The Therapy Crouch, Abbey, Peter and Ross open the floor for a no-holds-barred Ask Me Anything, and as expected… things get very real, very quickly. From chaotic birthday plans and ruined Gucci boots on the rugby sidelines, to brutally honest questions about confidence, relationships and what really goes on behind closed doors.

The trio dive into listeners’ dilemmas including intense housemate relationships, health anxiety and whether full body scans are worth the stress. Abbey opens up in a heartfelt Agony Ab from a new mum struggling with the idea of being “one and done” after a traumatic pregnancy journey and birth, sharing raw insight into postpartum recovery, pressure and letting go of expectations.

There’s also plenty of laughter along the way, including some jaw-dropping advice from a 1950s housewife manual, questionable supermarket habits and a reminder that sometimes… people just need to chill. 

Honest, comforting and hilariously unfiltered — this is The Therapy Crouch at its most open.
