The science of counseling is included in the science that studies about solving one's problems. Therefore, the knowledge of Counseling Guidance is closely related to Islamic da'wah. In this case, local wisdom is also very necessary for a scientific approach, because so far there have been many approaches from western concepts. The existence of the study of Islam Nusantara which includes Tawazun, tawasuth and Tasamuh is very interesting when used as a personality in a counselor. This study uses a descriptive qualitative approach. The collection was obtained through observation, interviews and documentation. The data collected were analyzed using descriptive analysis. The findings of this study show that the first Nusantara Islam approach, with Tawazun's personality, is a mindset that integrates God's provisions with the reality faced by humans. Second, the tawasuth personality makes a counselor who has a personality that is not fundamentalist and liberal so that wherever a counselor is located, it will be accepted by all levels of society. Third, tasamuh will make a counselor have the personality to compete to help fellow human beings even though they have different ethnic, racial, religious and cultural backgrounds.
