Thank you!
I think that is exactly the beauty of a therapeutic relationship - that the attraction would not be acted on - which could act as a confounder in the relationship. Even if she DID have feelings, it is not possible for her to act on these at this place in time - though, I just hope she wouldn't struggle with it if she did.... as I (think) she is heterosexual - but it is my guess she will have the resources to deal with it if it did arise!
