I can relate so much to what you are saying...although I don't know if I can answer you exactly with any great insight. When my now ex-T terminated with me, I missed his room as much as him, especially the wonderful oversized chair I always sat in. I always wanted to ask him where he got it because I wanted one JUST LIKE IT at home so I could sit and write in it. Anyway, in my case, I deeply felt the loss of T but also the loss of the space...kind of like losing a home, a place you knew it was safe to go.
I think it would be weird to have the same T but to start in a new room, perhaps facing a different direction and all of T's stuff being in different places. I am so sorry this is happening...be sure to talk to your T about this before the change if you have not already. Perhaps she can show you the space and tell you where things are going to be before you arrive before your first appt. there to help prepare you.
Hugs to you.
