This research investigates how Sufi psychospiritual practices function as an Islamic counseling approach to improve the spiritual well-being of students in Pesantren. Focused on three Pesantren in Salatiga, Central Java, where students are deeply involved with Islamic teachings, this research aims to understand the contribution of these practices in shaping students' spiritual well-being across four domains, namely personal, communal, environmental, and transcendental, as outlined by Fisher's theory. Sufi Psychospiritual Therapy aims to assist individuals in achieving spiritual growth, emphasizing repentance, asceticism, patience, and trust (redha). Utilizing qualitative research methods, including observation, interviews, and documentation, data were collected and analyzed following the model of Miles et al. Research findings reveal the significant impact of Sufi psychospiritual therapy on the spiritual well-being of students in selected Pesantren. Students report feeling calmer, gaining clarity about life goals, and outlining steps to achieve them. This underscores the effectiveness of integrating Sufi practices into counseling to encourage holistic student development in Pesantren. In essence, this research emphasizes the importance of recognizing and utilizing the spiritual aspects of student well-being in Pesantren and demonstrates how Sufi psychospiritual practices can positively influence students' overall growth in this context. Further research is recommended with a larger and more diverse sample, incorporating quantitative methods to offer a more comprehensive understanding of how Sufi psychospiritual practices impact the spiritual well-being of students in Pesantren.
