Of course itīll be times when a client is in the middle of something and to me itīs only rude if the T then interrupts. Of course I donīt mean a client could stay for many minutes extra but a few minutes before to settle and a few minutes after if there are some concerns or stuff that you feel you want to tell before the session ends.

With this T itīs also that she seems inconsistent, she herself arrives late, about five or ten minutes and sometimes she has let me stay for some extra minutes when she felt the need. But this time it was me talking about something when the session was about to end and then suddenly she had to tell me that we had stayed past the time of the session. (45 min)
Well, that sounds like a dilly of a pickle, as Flanders would say. And she's the only T in this facility? The only place to get psychodynamic therapy in public healthcare? What a shame, as you really don't seem to like her. You can always talk about this with her, though I have a feeling you'll be expected to adjust your expectations before she adjusts her practices--(And boy do I know what THAT's like!)--but, hey, who knows? Always worth a shot.

Best of luck.
