This study aims to identify research trends of spirituality in counseling research in Korea and to suggest directions for relevant research. A total of 67 studies on counseling and spirituality published in Korean academic journals from 2001 to 2021 were collected, and the overall research trends, including the publication year and journal status, research subjects, research methods and research types, related variables, and measurement tools, were analyzed. We found that studies on spirituality in counseling have been steadily increasing since 2011 and the number of publications in counseling-related journals as well as other academic journals has also increased. The majority of participants in such studies were adults, followed by college students and counselors. In terms of research methods, quantitative research was more common than qualitative research, and the most common research type was relational variable research. Quality of life/life satisfaction was the most commonly used outcome variable among these studies. Independent variables most frequently associated with spirituality included self-related characteristics, stress, and work/career-related characteristics. For measuring spirituality, foreign scales were used more frequently than scales developed by Korean researchers. Future research agenda is proposed based on the findings of this study.
