This happens to everyone. I'm a teacher, and students develop crushes on teachers all the time (and believe me, there are WAY more teachers who violate the boundaries and take advantage of students' feelings.)I've personally known of several marriages.
For all humans, I think, there's something incredibly erotic about boundaries and power differentials, and I'm guessing that clients in therapy--who never got the parental love they needed--are even more vulnerable to such feelings.
