Nope, since you're the one paying for counseling, it really should be focused on you.
Now, is it possible that his talking about himself has some therapeutic value in giving you lessons through his experience? Its possible but if I had to guess I'd say that its just his (A) trying to develop a rapport, in the hope of getting to "you centered" therapy later, or (B) his being inappropriate.
