This seems contradictory to me. She said it would be best if she gave him a referral, but yet she is indeed seeing him as a client? If she wants to refer him, shouldn't she do that right away instead of waiting? Why is she not referring him if she said it would be best? Seems like she is changing her mind... Do you think she really needs new clients, so is taking on this guy even though she said it would be best to refer him?

I do not what was said when he called, my T couldn’t tell me. She knows for a fact he is the person I work with but again wouldn’t tell me why.

This sounds really uncomfortable to me, with your T dropping little bits of information to you but not being able to expand, due to confidentiality. Yuck. It would almost be better not to know anything than to get these little hints. She probably knows that this is a person you work with because he told her.
Xtree, if you are really OK with this arrangement, then that's great. But if you're not, tell your T that. Your own T said it is best if she refers him, and sometimes it is good to trust their professional judgment. Your co-worker has very little invested in this T relationship, so it is not going to be devastating if he starts with another T after just one session with yours.
