Tarsul Kutai is a traditional oral literary work of the Kutai people in East Kalimantan that is rich in moral, social, and spiritual values. In the context of counseling, these values are highly relevant to character building and strengthening the psychosocial aspects of individuals. This study aims to identify the potential for implementing the values of Tarsul Kutai in culturally responsive counseling services. The method used is a qualitative literature study, through an analysis of manuscripts, cultural studies, and contextual counseling theory. The results of the study show that Tarsul Kutai contains counseling messages that are in line with the principles of guidance and counseling, such as respect for parents, honesty, responsibility, and spirituality. These findings indicate that Tarsul Kutai values can be integrated into classical guidance services, individual counseling, and groups in educational and community settings.
