Abstract :The aim of the study is to present analysis and synthesis of research from 2000-2020 in Turkey and a variety of countries about the topic of consultation services in schools. A total of 30 studies were investigated within the scope of the research; findings obtained from the articles underwent analysis and synthesis processes within the framework of the meta-synthesis research method with a meta-synthesis study completed accompanied by the determined themes. Most studies considered in the meta-synthesis research were completed based on qualitative research and experimental models. The majority of studies included perceptions about cooperation of teachers and parents with psychological counselors. Studies completed with the experimental model were based on consultation models with psycho-education programs applied to people providing consultation services or people benefiting from them with the efficacy of the programs assessed. Consultation services are an important part of psychological counseling and guidance services. For this reason, contributions should be provided to studies by performing research about consultation services and the quality of education given to guidance counselor candidates related to consultation services should be increased in psychological counseling and guidance departments.
