Thanks. I donīt find it too much to ask for that a therapist is able to go to the door and open it when she knows her client will probably be there like five or ten minutes before the meeting starts. Itīs comparable to, at least for me, that if I know someone will visit me and we have decided a time when this person will come to my home and visit me, I donīt start or answer a call just a few minutes before his/her arrival. Of course I hadnīt let the person stand in the stairwell for several minutes before I go to the door and open it.
This counselor might have gotten an important call she couldnīt ignore but then she can still go quickly to the door and let me in and that hadnīt interfered with the call.

The phone call though I think is okay. She should of course take care to not harm client confidentiality, but as long as she did that, I think that it's fair for a consellor to use the time between sessions for such things, as I get not wanting to "waste" an hour in your day to set aside for such mundane tasks.
