Abstract: Tasawwuf and spiritual approach is the main basis in the Islamic tradition to solve problems related to the purification of the soul, mujahadah al-nafs and ilaj al-nafs towards the problems of the soul through a special path. At the end of this, the tasawwuf knowledge approach has gained attention as the right Islamic knowledge in dealing with the problems of the soul in the discussion of Islamic counseling. Tasawwuf is also applied as an important method of Islamic counseling known as psycho-spiritual. This study aimed to examine the tasawwuf approach or spiritual approach among Muslim counseling practitioners in the state of Kedah during the counseling session. The method of study uses a quantitative method through the distribution of survey forms to 60 respondents in the vicinity of Kedah. The results showed that understanding the Tasawuf Islam concept has a positive and significant relationship with Islamic psychotherapy with a signification value below 0.01. These findings prove that the counseling approach adopted by Muslim counselors in the state of Kedah is geared towards the tasawwuf approach through Islamic perspective counseling as opposed to conventional methods.
