Where I used to see my ex-T, it was in an old house with several other therapists... I would have to ring a loud doorbell, and one of them would let me in.
Then I had to sit on a small seat or bench type thingy, (meant for 2 people, but the one time I came and someone else was waiting too, she stood the whole time- it wasn't really big enough for 2 strangers to sit together.)
The photocopier was exactly opposite this bench, so if one of the therapists was using it, I had to sit sideways, and felt in the way.
What was the worst bit was that the other t's in the practice would tip-toe back and forth from office to the counselling rooms...and speak in hushed voices like it was... I dunno, like a funeral or something! I felt like if I hadn't been there they would have spoken normally.
I was told at my first session I was to sit there until she came out of the shared office, and she took me to the counselling room.
I used to arrive exactly on time, so I wouldn't have to sit there...(and I hated that bell too- it was LOUD) so would sometimes be worried if I were a few minutes late... my (ex)-t said this showed I had time-management issues.
I didn't bring up my "it's your crap waiting area, actually" issues.bil
