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.

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.
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.
