The woman sits in a chair and there is only an awful couch across from it about 4-5 feet for clients. I would prefer more distance from her. I hate the woman's couch and long for a chair. Sometimes I have taken my own folding chair in. Otherwise I sit in the middle with one leg crossed over the other -ankle to knee. There have been times when the couch pillows were askew and I have had to sit more on the end to avoid them.
