<![CDATA[Abstract: Emotional development is a crucial aspect of student development, as the ability to recognize, understand, express, and manage emotions is linked to a student's capacity to cope with academic pressure, build social relationships, and develop self-confidence. In an educational context, Guidance and Counseling (BK) teachers play a strategic role in providing psychological support through services tailored to students' needs. This study aims to describe the role of BK teachers—specifically through individual counseling services—in supporting the emotional development of students at MA Turus Pandeglang. The study employs a descriptive qualitative approach within a field research framework. Data were gathered through observations, interviews with BK teachers and the school principal, document analysis, and questionnaires administered to students and parents. The results indicate that individual counseling services help students better recognize, understand, and manage their emotions. Data show that 75% of students experience anxiety when facing exams or academic pressure; 65% report increased self-confidence after receiving individual counseling; and 80% feel the services assisted them in developing emotional intelligence. Parental involvement also serves as a supporting factor, with 85% of respondents stating that effective communication between parents and BK teachers helps in understanding students' psychological needs. These findings demonstrate that BK teachers act as facilitators, companions, mediators, motivators, and emotional educators in helping students navigate emotional challenges. Individual counseling conducted in an empathetic, open, and structured manner can serve as a vital strategy for creating an educational environment that fosters student emotional well-being]]>
