Transference and counter-transference doesn't HAVE to be romantic/erotic/maternal, etc. For example, I sometimes do exposure therapy with my T for my eating disorder, and once when we shared a Freddo Frog, she told me that she experienced counter-transference anxiety, because I was so anxious about eating a Freddo Frog; make sense?
So your T's counter-transference could be any feeling that's been elicited within sessions; it doesn't have to be negative either. She's unlikely to terminate you due to transference, however if she's unable to help you, she may transition you onto another therapist.
