Research model is designed as correlational study. The total 151 sample consists of 99 female (e.6) and 52 male (4.4) counselors. Counselors’ ages range from 20 to 52, and the average age of participants is 34.15 (Sd: 7.60). In this study, Demographic Data Form prepared by researchers, Counseling Self-Efficacy Scale developed by Lent and others (2011), Life Satisfaction Scale developed by Diener and others (1985), Dispositional Hope Scale developed by Snyder and others (1991) are used for data collection. Relations between counseling self-efficacy, life satisfaction and hope variables are analyzed with Sperman Brown’s rank correlation coefficient. Differentiation level of school counselors’ counseling self-efficacy level by demographic variables is analyzed with Mann Whitney U test and Kruskal Wallis H test. Results indicated that couselors’ counseling self-efficacy and hope levels (r= .53, p<.01), and life satisfactions (r= .39, p<.01) are positively correlated. Besides, analysis revealed that school counselors’ counseling self-efficacy levels are significantly differentiated by feeling related to occupation and working year. In addition to these, results showed that school counselors’ counseling self-efficacy levels are not significantly differentiated by gender and type of worked school.
