Any advice/insights much appreciated.

I have been in a similar situation with having a comforting therapist and not being sure if they are also helping me in more concrete ways. I can appreciate what a huge commitment it is to travel and spend this way!
My suggestion is to discuss this with her directly, maybe print this post and use it as a guide for the conversation. I also suggest exploring a plan B. A different style of therapist closer to home, or some other concrete support structure to help you both evaluate where you are and what you have now, and to transition into if you decide to leave your current t.
Good luck!
