The thing is, I'm sure they know exactly how it feels. They've been there themselves - they've been in therapy/analysis and so must have some idea of what it feels like. The anxiety/tension just before going into the private sanctury of the therapist's room. Maybe it is just a taboo/awkward part of therapy. It's where the strange world and rules of therapy meet the outside world, and perhaps they'd rather pretend that this interaction doesn't exist.
As for the nice image of an English town, although I am British I live in the Netherlands - so not so many English accents here! The Dutch accents are interesting too though. The shop is run by an American woman actually. It is a nice neighbourhood. There are always children playing and cycling in the streets, there's a nice park and lake with ducks and swans. His wife is nice - I met her first very soon after I started seeing him and I must have looked frightened as she said something like "Don't worry, he's a very nice, kind man". She's in her 60s, slim, greying hair, dressed practically. Kind of how I'd expect his wife to look.
Before I left England I did have 2 appointments with a pdoc at a private hospital - it was in an old mansion in the countryside and was more like a hotel or health spa than a hospital - carpet and chandeliars, no dysinfectant spell or plastic chairs. Of course there was complimentary tea and biscuits!
I hope the harmony restores between you and your T. It's a pity she can't just let herself say sorry when it would clearly have helped you.
