I didn't mind it a lot, but I did think it was a bit weird. I can't swan up to teach my youths wearing jeans and I don't think she should swan up to be a therapist in jeans either.
But on the other hand, I wonder if when I was younger I might have been a little intimidated by someone dressed really smartly, and would perhaps have found it easier to talk to someone who seemed a little more approachable, so I think it's a fine balance really!
