The Therapy Crouch

On today’s episode of The Therapy Crouch, Abbey and Peter are back in Portugal for part two of their sunny getaway, but there’s no peace and quiet in sight. Abbey wastes no time exposing Peter for turning the family holiday into a full-blown sports tour, with golf, paddle, football and post-match beers all somehow making the itinerary ahead of family time. Peter, naturally, insists it’s all part of his passion for sport.

The couple then get into a surprisingly honest and hilarious debate about why football brings men together so easily, and whether women have anything that creates the same kind of instant bond. Peter reflects on his emotional return to Liverpool for the Legends match and why sport has always been his escape, while Abbey explains exactly why golf sends her over the edge.
Later on, things descend into total chaos with a Portugal-themed quiz involving capitals, custard tarts and some wildly confident wrong answers. Sunshine, arguments, emotional moments and complete nonsense… just another day on The Therapy Crouch.

On today’s episode of The Therapy Crouch, Abbey, Peter and the team kick off the very first special Portugal Series with a chaotic Ask Me Anything episode from sunny Portugal. What starts as a simple Q&A quickly turns into classic Therapy Crouch madness as the gang discuss holiday packing disasters, bringing 12 suitcases but somehow forgetting the essentials, and the reality of family life abroad.

Abbey and Peter also get brutally honest about parenting four children, whether boys are harder work than girls, and how they divide the madness of school runs, clubs and everyday family life. Abbey gives a rare insight into what her work days actually look like, from shoots and brand deals to juggling home life and total chaos behind the scenes.

Elsewhere, the team debate why the phrase “body count” is one of the worst modern terms around, reveal their funniest relationship banter, and somehow end up discussing underwear, dressing gowns and karaoke.

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. From there, things spiral into bedtime chaos after the pair fall asleep watching TV and wake up to a completely different (and slightly traumatic) show.

The conversation turns more heartfelt as they discuss Mother’s Day, expectations around appreciation, and whether love should be shown every day rather than saved for special occasions. Plus, they open up about the realities of parenting—juggling kids of different ages, losing their weekends, and finding ways to keep the whole family entertained.

Later in the episode, Abbey plans Peter’s ultimate dream day—from luxury holidays to golf and unrealistic travel plans—before things take a hilarious turn in the kitchen as they argue over how to properly make a jacket potato.

On today’s episode of The Therapy Crouch, Abbey, Peter and Gaz are back answering your dilemmas and things get very real, very quickly.

The gang react to a shocking message between a boyfriend and his coworker that has Abbey firmly calling it out as cheating, while Pete questions whether there’s any grey area at all. It sparks a heated debate on boundaries, flirting and when it’s time to walk away.

We also hear an incredible proposal story involving a surprise appearance in Rio that feels straight out of a film, before Abbey and Pete share their honest advice on weddings, relationships and what actually matters after years together.

Elsewhere, there’s plenty of chaos as the team unpack “icks,” awkward public fails, and the moments that can instantly change how you see your partner. From heroic saves to total disasters, it’s safe to say not everyone comes out looking good…

On today’s episode of The Therapy Crouch, we’re joined by Love Island All Stars winners Molly and Tom, who are swapping villa life for the podcast world as the new hosts of the NearlyWeds podcast.

We dive into what it’s really like going from reality TV to hosting your own show, with Molly and Tom admitting that podcasting is a “whole different ballgame” and has actually forced them to sit down, communicate and properly plan their wedding (whether Tom likes it or not…).

The pair open up on life after Love Island, why real life is the true test of a relationship, and how moving in together immediately might not be as crazy as it sounds. Plus, we get into the chaos of wedding planning, from emotional dress shopping to guest list dilemmas and everything in between.

Elsewhere, Abbey and Pete are back with their usual madness, from early morning conspiracy theories and nuclear bunker debates to listener dilemmas and some questionable workplace nicknames.
