Indigenous counseling is a form of practice based on the philosophy and cultural values in (indigenous) society. One form of indigenous counseling originates from a system of behavior that is internalized and implemented through local traditions. Especially in Java, traditions can take the form of worship rituals (religion), khaul, and syiir. Therefore, the aim of this research is to reveal, interpret and explain indigenous counseling through traditions and poetry which are always celebrated and respected by Javanese society (in general). This research was conducted qualitatively. Because, with this type of research, the author is free to explore the research object. So, arguments can be presented comprehensively. The research approach uses literature study. Primary literature uses articles and books that present the latest data and information regarding indigenous counseling and Javanese traditions in general. The critical paradigm is also used by the author to reveal the philosophy and values of Javanese tradition and its relation to indigenous counseling. The results of this research show that indigenous counseling practices can use the approach of 1) traditional rituals, 2) Javanese poetry texts. Traditional rituals such as junggringan, ngaji raos, gusjigang can be derived in their derivative forms to find formulas for individual and group counseling practices. Meanwhile, syiir functions to create individual mental-spiritual awareness in order to become a comprehensive human being.
