Although this meeting could be considered having one facilitator, he did not spend more than ten minutes leading the group since the majority of the time other meeting members were sharing.

    Session One When selecting our groups I was approached by another student who wanted to join us. One of my weaknesses is that I struggle to say no; I found the situation uncomfortable as I was aware of the feelings of the rest of the group. I could see the benefits of having an additional member as according to Preston-Shoot (2007) smaller groups are more likely to split into one to one interactions rather than developing as a group.
