Focus and Scope

Corporate Counseling Journal focuses on counseling, psychosocial support, and wellbeing in formal organizational and institutional settings. The journal uses the term corporate in a broad and inclusive manner, covering companies, government institutions, educational institutions, healthcare organizations, non-profit organizations, social service agencies, and other structured entities.

The journal is rooted in the academic field of Counseling Psychology. However, it also welcomes interdisciplinary scholarship from relevant fields when the contribution remains directly connected to counseling, psychosocial support, wellbeing, and human development in organizational and institutional contexts. Interdisciplinary submission alone is not sufficient. Manuscripts must demonstrate a clear analytical link to counseling-related questions, intervention processes, support mechanisms, or psychosocial outcomes.

The journal publishes original research articles, review articles, and conceptual papers that examine how theories, practices, interventions, programs, and policies contribute to mental health, career development, psychosocial safety, resilience, interpersonal adjustment, inclusion, and healthy organizational functioning. Topics may include, but are not limited to:

• Workplace counseling
• Employee assistance and support systems
• Psychosocial risk and protection
• Organizational wellbeing
• Career counseling and career adaptability
• Counseling in educational and healthcare institutions
• Trauma-informed support in organizations
• Leadership and supervisory support for wellbeing
• Inclusion and diversity support systems
• Counseling-informed institutional policy and practice

The journal encourages submissions that generate implications at multiple levels, including institutional practice and policy learning in Indonesia, comparative and regional relevance across Asia and the Global South, and broader contributions to international scholarship on counseling and psychosocial wellbeing in organizational settings.

The journal gives priority to manuscripts that clearly situate counseling, psychosocial support, and wellbeing within formal organizational or institutional systems rather than in general community settings or purely clinical contexts. Manuscripts that focus mainly on general business, finance, marketing, or management issues are outside the journal’s scope unless they directly and substantially address counseling, psychosocial support, wellbeing, or human development in organizational and institutional life.

The journal does not accept manuscripts that merely describe activities, training programs, or organizational initiatives without adequate analytical engagement with theory, intervention logic, implementation process, or psychosocial and wellbeing outcomes.
