It was at that point that I was seriously beginning to doubt your professionalism and I left - especially if that 'session' is the way you typically conduct first sessions with clients. Especially if that is a fairly reliable indicator of what future sessions would be like.

Except it wasn't even that because you didn't even conduct it in that manner. I fail to see why I should pay you for wasting both of our time. I have no earthly idea what made you think that it was acceptable to spend the session on the phone. To persistently and repeatedly ask me about abuse. To not ask whether I had anything to say but show rather more interest in whether they had anything to say.
