Counselling Group Reflection

I will try to describe three of the counselling group separately and share what I can learn from the group. The first group is held by the experienced counsellor whereas the second and third group are held by my classmates. However, I believed that I can learn from all the group, no matter the leading skills or the content of the group. I enjoy being a group member within the counselling group because I can hear the sharing from others group member and learn from other.

I can observe the different between the experienced leader and normal leader, their awareness of the group member before the group is important. In the first time of having the group, our leader is an experienced counsellor. I was early for ten minutes to the classroom due
