That sounds exhausting. It sounds like absolutely the right decision not to continue with her. She probably meant well but the fact you felt unable to talk about what you really wanted to and felt pressured into talking about the homework aren't good signs. She may identify as non directive but she was, perhaps inadvertently, directing you and making you feel uncomfortable as a result. From her response to your email it sounds like on some level she was aware that her approach wasn't right for you and was accepting your decision. Such a shame that the first two sessions felt so helpful but sometimes it's just impossible to know early on and it's good that you're clear on this now and can find someone more suited to what you need.
