The Therapy Crouch

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.

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.
