This study explores the ontology of the BK profession systematically, focusing on the concept, role, and professional identity of counselors. The method used is a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) based on PRISMA, with an analysis of 7 selected scientific articles. The results show that counselors' professional identities are a dynamic construct formed through accredited education, practical experience, regulation, collective advocacy, cultural context, spiritual values, and social orientation. The role of a counselor is multidimensional, encompassing individual practice, leadership, advocacy, and social engagement, while the concept of a counselor encompasses professional knowledge, skills, and values. The ontology of the BK profession emphasizes that the reality of counselors is progressive, subjective, and contextual. Strengthening professional identity is the foundation of competence, ethics, and sustainability of BK services. date: 2026-01 date_type: published publisher: Institut Agama Islam Al-Khairat Pamekasan official_url: https://jurnalalkhairat.org/ojs/index.php/jkpi/article/view/1293/1095 full_text_status: public publication: JKPI: Jurnal Konseling Pendidikan Islam volume: 7 number: 1 pagerange: 529-539 refereed: TRUE issn: 2746-5977 citation: Nuraini, Nuraini (2026) EXPLORATION OF THE ONTOLOGY OF THE GUIDANCE AND COUNSELING PROFESSION: A SYSTEMATIC REVIEW OF THE CONCEPT, ROLE AND IDENTITY OF COUNSELORS.
