The Therapy Crouch

On today’s episode of The Therapy Crouch, Abbey and Peter are joined by the beautiful EastEnders icon and talented singer Shona McGarty - and nothing is off limits.

Shona opens up about life after EastEnders, what it’s really like being known as ‘Whitney’ for over 20 years, and why stepping into the jungle was both terrifying and transformational.

She talks candidly about anxiety, imposter syndrome and learning how to cope when fear shows up — as well as losing her dignity, surviving on rice and beans, and why she never wants to see a pretzel again.

There’s also plenty of laughter as the gang dive into bonk beats, phone-call rage, and the chaos of modern life.

Plus, Shona helps tackle an Agony Ab about being too reliable, sharing why saying no is sometimes the most powerful thing you can do.

Honest, hilarious and surprisingly emotional — this is one you don’t want to miss.

Happy New Year from The Therapy Crouch!

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. 🎄🍷

The Genie Queen’s Speech - A Therapy Crouch Christmas Broadcast

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.

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

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.

“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, 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.

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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

On this week’s episode of The Therapy Crouch, things get a little deeper as Abbey and Peter dive into the realities of kindness, mental wellbeing and the pressures so many people face around Christmas.

After a chaotic catch-up covering moustache disasters, school fairs, lost bank cards and black cab etiquette, the pair open up about a listener whose brave email sparked emotional conversations within his family.

We hear stories about black cab confessions, health anxiety breakthroughs, childhood hymns, nostalgic comfort TV, and why talking is still the most underrated therapy of all.

In the Agony Ab section they tackle group-chat politics, Christmas gifting dilemmas and thoughtful vs. sexy presents… with some truly unhinged suggestions from Pete. It’s heartfelt, hilarious, and a gentle reminder that kindness — to yourself and others — goes further than you think.
