I think you are not being entirely fair on your therapist and any future guinea pig. For many things, most animals dont like being in strange places (dogs perhaps being the only exception) and it would stress the poor animal out. In worse cases, stress can kill. So perhaps it would be less stressful on the poor animal to be safely at home in it's cage rather than being subjected to a strange place and a transport journey.
Secondly, your therapist may feel that an presence of an animal may hinder your progress. Any animal is liable to be a distraction and therefore you may not make any progress/not make a good as one whilst having your guinea pig there. Animals (unless they are really necessary, for example a guide dog) are not the place for therapy, unless you are taking part in an animal assisted therapy course/place.
So dont be surprised if your therapist says no. She has your best interests at heart, and also the welfare of your pet.
