Is it normal to be charged the full price of a therapy session when it’s the initial session? Does the therapist need to provide their prices ahead of time?

Had the experience of going to what I thought was an initial trial session with a new therapist, which turned out to be 2 hours long and they charged me 120 Euro. Is this normal? They did not explain that this would be billed or that it would last 2 hours. Based on past experiences, I expected like a 20 minute consultation to see if we matched. Just want a sense of is this is normal or if there’s a way to get a fee reduction as it wasn’t explained beforehand that the session would go 2 hours and be billed without insurance.
