The postmodern approach in guidance and counseling has given rise to various new paradigms, one of which is narrative counseling. Narrative counseling focuses on how individuals form and reconstruct identities through their life narratives. The purpose of this study is to analyze the development of scientific studies on narrative counseling through a bibliometric approach. Using Scopus and Google Scholar databases, as well as analysis tools such as VOSviewer, publication trends, collaborations between authors, dominant keywords, and main journals that contribute to the development of this approach were identified. The results of the analysis show that narrative counseling has received increasing academic attention in the last two decades, especially related to issues of identity, trauma, and individual empowerment. This study provides insight into the direction of narrative counseling research development and its relevance in the realm of contemporary guidance and counseling.
