“…Researchers have elaborated counseling and psychotherapy with the Indonesian spiritual culture and religion to develop counseling in a multi-religious society in Indonesia. They began to develop counseling and psychotherapy knowledge based on religious concepts and values, such as Islamic Counseling based on the Holy Qur'an (Suherman, 2012;Sutoyo, 2013), Pastoral Counseling in the Indonesian Context (Raintung et al, 2020), Bible Counseling in the Gospel of John (Selvianti, 2018), the concept of Tri Hita Karana and Hindu values (Adhiputra, 2010), the Communication Development in Counseling with Dharma Wacana and Dharma Tula (Jelantik, 2021), the Use of the Gayatri Mantra to reduce anxiety (Ayu et al, 2018), and Kalyana Mitta for mindfulness counseling in Buddhism (Venty, 2021). In contrast, conventional counseling approaches continue to be carried out to ensure the effectiveness of these techniques for the benefit of counseling services in Indonesia.…”

One problem in the implementation of counseling in Indonesia is related to cultural bias. This is because counseling theories originally derive from theories based on Western cultural values. Indigenous counseling with a Sufistic approach is one way to address this cultural bias. This research aims to deeply explore counseling practices in Islamic boarding schools (pesantren) and the Sufistic values in their counseling services. The study is a qualitative-exploratory descriptive-research using a qualitative-ethnographic-interpretive approach. Data collection techniques involve participant observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation. The findings of this research indicate significant differences in characteristics between professional counseling (western) and counseling in pesantren, including inequality between counselors and clients (unequal relationship). Moreover, their relationship is likened to that of a father and son, appearing as a superior-inferior relationship. The Sufistic values applied in counseling services include humility (tawadu), obedience to the advice of the kyai as a counselor, limiting the principle of client confidentiality, and providing solutions directly through advice and religious prayers (wirid). Further research can be conducted to measure the effectiveness of Sufistic values in counseling services in pesantren.
