This study aims to develop a counseling framework based on the thoughts of Ki Hadjar Dewantara. The research uses an Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis design by conceptual exploration of the "Among" system, with the aim of carrying out contextual construction as an educational philosophy. The "Among" system is a product of Ki Hajar Dewantoro's thought, which means opvoeding or pedagogy, so that intervention through among values, is an intervention based on pedagogic values. In addition, this concept is in line with the humanistic paradigm which has devoted a large amount of energy to explaining the etiology of compassion. The research findings show that there are two strengths in the Among system that have been feasible so far. The first is in terms of philosophy. This system is in line with the development of guidance and counseling in Indonesia, which applies the concept of education on the basis for guidance and counseling. Second, from a practical point of view, because the Among system has sufficient completeness to be compiled into a counseling model, starting from human nature, the theoretical framework of the Among system, relationships in counseling, counseling techniques, interventions and indicators of counseling success. This indigenous counseling framework is a cultural re-validation that was developed as an effort to reconstruct science, especially in the field of counseling guidance, to suit the culture where the science is applied.
