I agree on bringing it up right away, which is what I did with my current T--though part of why I started seeing him was to help me deal with transference for my marriage counselor, so he obviously knows it can be a thing for me.
The other thing is, if a T is *not* comfortable dealing with transference, it's better to know that early on instead of after you've already started feeling that.
