The Smithy Family: From Viral Fame to Garage-Level...

Definitely Not Therapy ·

2025/10/28

It starts in a garage. Not the cool, Top Gear kind — more the “don’t touch that wire or you’ll see Jesus early” kind. One flickering light, a half-working soundboard, and a host trying to sound professional while his neighbour starts a leaf blower. Welcome to Definitely Not Therapy, where deep chats meet dodgy electrics. We kick off with laughs — bad dad jokes, worse life choices — before rolling straight into the heavy stuff: grief, co-parenting, and that glorious myth of the “proper job.” Y...

A breakup two days before Christmas. A father on the floor as paramedics burst through the door. A man left staring at the ceiling, wondering what comes next.

This week on Definitely Not Therapy, I sit down with Richard – a man whose passion for teaching runs deep, but whose journey has been anything but straightforward. Richard opens up about the darkest chapter of his life: losing his job, battling depression, and the heavy weight of providing for his four children while feeling like the world had turned against him. He shares the raw truth of what it’s like when you’re told to “be honest” only for that honesty to be used against you—costing him ...

Episode Snapshot This episode hits deep. I sat down with Olly from Angels United FC, a football-based support group formed by dads who found traditional therapy didn’t cut it. They used the pitch - not the couch - to process grief after losing a child during pregnancy. Olly bravely shares his heartbreak: losing twins Dottie and Poppy. But through the darkness, a rainbow baby arrived. His story? A reminder you’re never truly alone. Instead of sitting and mourning, Olly went to watch his belove...

In my most honest moment yet, streamed live from London in front of an audience, I opened up about what landed me at rock bottom: the unbearable thought of losing time with my daughter, and never finding anyone who believes in me, ever again. Tears, vulnerability, and a microphone, because if I can post a video of myself completely broken for millions of people to see, you can absolutely reach out to just one person. That one moment of courage? It could save your life. Spotlight: Andy’s Man C...

In this week’s episode of Definitely Not Therapy, I sit down with Dan - a man whose story shows the raw reality of loneliness, pain, and the power of finally being heard. Adopted as a child and bullied throughout school, Dan carried a weight of silence that grew heavier as he got older. The loneliness became so consuming that he turned to self-harm just to feel something. His lowest moment came when his anger boiled over - violently pushing a car in rage and injuring one of his foster mums, d...

This week on Definitely Not Therapy, I sit down with someone I used to work with—but the Steve you’ll hear from today is a very different man from the one I knew back then. At one point, Steve was in a place so dark he couldn’t see a way out. Living alone in a tiny bedsit, with no friends, no support, and no sense of purpose, he reached a point where he genuinely didn’t think he’d make it through the night. Mental health wasn’t something he could talk about, because back then—like so many m...
