Bu araştırmanın amacı psikolojik danışmanların danışma sürecinde manevi konulara ilişkin tutumlarını manevi yönelimleri ve etkili danışman nitelikleri açısından incelemektir. Araştırmanın örneklemi uygun örnekleme yöntemi ile seçilen 514 (344 kadın, 170 erkek) danışmandan oluşmuştur. Araştırmada veri toplama araçları olarak Kişisel Bilgi Formu, Etkili Psikolojik Danışman Niteliklerini Değerlendirme Ölçeği, Manevi Yönelim Ölçeği ve Psikolojik Danışmada Maneviyata Yönelik Danışman Tutum Ölçeği kullanılmıştır. Psikolojik danışmanların danışma sürecinde manevi konulara ilişkin tutumlarını manevi yönelimleri ve etkili danışman nitelikleri açısından incelemek için çoklu regresyon analizi yapılmıştır. Analiz sonuçları, manevi yönelim ve etkili danışman niteliği esneklik boyutunun danışmanların danışma sürecinde manevi konulara ilişkin tutumlarını anlamlı düzeyde ve pozitif yönde; etkili danışman niteliği entelektüel yeterlik boyutunun ise anlamlı düzeyde ve negatif yönde yordadığını göstermiştir. Etkili danışman niteliklerinden enerji, destek, iyi niyet ve öz-farkındalık boyutlarının danışmanların danışma sürecinde manevi konulara ilişkin tutumlarını anlamlı düzeyde yordamadığı bulunmuştur. Araştırmanın bulguları ilgili alan yazın çerçevesinde yorumlanmış ve öneriler sunulmuştur.
