consulting room
Where patients sit
A consulting room is the office where a doctor, psychiatrist, or other professional meets with patients or clients.
The term is more common in British than American English, where "examination room" or simply "office" is typical.
The psychiatrist's consulting room was decorated to put patients at ease.
