surely if he was a bad apple, he wouldn't have come this far?

I had a therapist like that once. For about four weeks. Then we mutually agreed that this was not going to work out. Had he not agreed, I would have unilaterally decided this was not going to work out.
He considered himself direct. I considered him rude.
Unfortunately the fact that he's an important man does not make him a better therapist.
Some people do well with this sort of therapist. Others do not. He's not likely to change, so if this isn't a style that meshes well with your needs, it's perfectly ok to find someone who is less... "direct".
