My ambition is to be a school counselor in future. There are many types of counselling, group counselling is one of them. Before class, my lecturer asked us to set the expectations about what we want to know from this subject. It had helped me to think deeper and desired to know more as I had set the goal and expectation for this class.
In this class, I get to know that counselor is not only the one who can lead the group, but is anyone who in a helping, teaching or supervisory role is allowed to conduct the group as well. Moreover, we discussed the advantages and disadvantages of group counselling as well as compared it with individual counselling. Here, after the discussion, I got to know when and what situation we going to use group counselling and individual counselling. Also, I had learned about the differences between many types of group with their different purpose and direction.
