Hi Dinah, as I read your post, I thought perhaps you might talk with him about this. I think I would have felt the same as you, that it was crass to ask for the fee in that situation. Maybe if you were a patient/client who didn't go that often, fine, but you see him every week right? So certainly, even under the circumstances, he could have waited another week, and then given you a half session extra or something if he wanted to charge full fee. If it's you ending early or being late for a session, yes he should keep full fee. If it's him being late or ending early or circumstances like what happened, then he should not charge full fee. You definitely might think about being assertive in this instance with him. Don't let him get away with it.
