There was no expectation for her to "return early", that's not the issue. The issue is she said we had discussed online sessions before her leave but I don't recall ever having that conversation. Instead of acknowledging there had been a miscommunication and apologising, she gaslit me by saying she could check her notes but that I probably wouldn't agree with her anyway. Even if we had discussed it, it was not clearly communicated to me that if I said no that there was no opportunity to change my mind. No dates or time frames were given except that she would "do what she did last time" and "keep me updated". When she didn't keep me updated I contacted her (as she had said I could). Her response was very curt. When I asked if she would be offering online sessions (as she did last time) she ignored my question and just said the same thing as she did in her first email.

As all of this has caused me significant distress and we did not have a proper termination session before her leave, I had my final session on Monday and she basically refused to engage. By her own admission she was "holding back" because she's not my T anymore. She seemed to think that because I am seeing someone else she doesn't have to treat me anymore but she is somehow still entitled to charge me.

Edit to add: T did in fact "return early" and was providing online sessions to other clients but did not offer this to me due to the aforementioned miscommunication. Even though T knew I was struggling (as I communicated this in my emails) she still refused to offer me any support.
