My T is fairly feminine and stylish (and straight), and it has been a little odd getting into this tight relationship with her since I am none of those things. I think it has helped me feel closer to and more accepted by other non-queer people in my life, though. My other amazing therapist from college was exactly like me in those domains, and I think I needed to start with somebody like her first to get to where I was able to open up to somebody not like her/me. Gender-conforming heterosexuals still make me a little uneasy sometimes, though. (No offense to any couchies I'm describing; I'm sure you're all great!)
