Abstract

Self-acceptance is a crucial aspect in achieving happiness and personal well-being. Inability to address issues related to self-acceptance can have negative implications in an individual's life. Counseling services are considered relevant approaches to help individuals overcome these issues, particularly in the context of students. This research aims to explore the relevance of counseling services in enhancing students' self-acceptance. The research methodology employed is a qualitative approach using a literature review study. Data were gathered through a review of literature sources such as books, journals, theses, dissertations, and scholarly articles available on Google Scholar. Data analysis involved examining and reviewing relevant information from the collected data. The findings of this study indicate that the fundamental concepts of counseling are significantly relevant in enhancing self-acceptance. Review of research outcomes also supports the effectiveness of counseling services in assisting individuals to address challenges related to self-acceptance. Based on the findings of this research, it is concluded that counseling services are effective in efforts to enhance students' self-acceptance. The implication of this research underscores the importance of implementing appropriate counseling strategies by counselors and researchers in the future to strengthen these research findings.
