I went through the change of office space. In my case from a very comfortable room in an old old building to a shiny office in a shiny new office building. I don't think I've felt quite the same about therapy since. Part of the whole effect was the *space*. I think moving has helped me come to the point where maybe I do need him less.
You've got the additional, and very real, problem of having to go through her home to get to the office. I know it's not particularly unusual - especially not in the old days - to have an office in the home and without a separate entrance. But I would definitely think it would introduce new therapeutic concerns that should be addressed.
Fortunately, my therapist understood how important the old space was to me and we're able to talk about it thoroughly. Have you mentioned the thoughts you've been thinking? Or how uncomfortable you feel having access to a part of her private life?
They're legitimate concerns, and she should be prepared to discuss them.
