I think it is an abuse of power, and the reason it is different to other relationships is that she knows you will have trouble saying no, and crucially, your therapy will be negatively affected.
One of a therapist's ethical duties is to uphold the autonomy of the client. By asking you when she knows you will have trouble saying no she is failing in that duty. That is by definition an abuse of power.
I'm sorry you have been put in this position.
ETA: here's what the BACP ethical framework says:
Quote:
33. We will establish and maintain appropriate professional and personal boundaries in our relationships with clients by ensuring that:
a. these boundaries are consistent with the aims of working together and beneficial to the client
b. any dual or multiple relationships will be avoided where the risks of harm to the client outweigh any benefits to the client
