AIBU or silly to miss my counselling session?

I'm supposed to leave the house soon. But for financial reasons, I have to make this my final session. i do like the counsellor but find her quite assertive in her emails about certain things relating to appointment times and payment arrangements.

i have always paid in advance and never cancelled or been unreliable, but did once misinterpret her request for payment - i thought it just had to be at some time before the session but it had to be a certain number of days in advance, so she reiterated her demand and i felt reprimanded.

i have never been given any written terms and conditions so i don't know what they actually, tbh.

she has not responded to either email sent yesterday or today about making this my final session so am now worried i'm going to be in trouble for not giving notice.

i think i'm going to skip the session (which I've paid for) as i haven't had a reply so now feel uncomfortable not knowing if she is ok with my decision.

AIBU or silly?

Well done!

Hope it went well, OP.

For future reference, you don't owe any counsellor any explanation as to why you won't be seeing them again. They are professionals.
