The aim of this study is to examine the effect of online peer supervision group designed for school counselors on the burn-out levels of the participants. A pretest-posttest control group design was used in the research. The research was carried out with school counselors working in Üsküdar, Istanbul. The experimental and the control group of the study consisted of 8 school counselors who are volunteer to participate in the study. "Psychological Counselor Burn-out Inventory" was used to gather data. Peer supervision group study was applied to the experimental group of 8 people with an online group of eight sessions, which lasted approximately 90 minutes, and no intervention for the control group. For deep understanding, qualitative data were obtained through the evaluations received from the group members, facilitators, and observers. Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test was conducted to examine the differences between pretest and posttest of the experimental group. The Mann-Whitney U test was used to determine the differences between posttest scores of the experimental and control groups. According to the quantitative findings, the posttest burn-out score of the experimental group decreased significantly compared to the control group. Content analysis of the qualitative data revealed the themes that include the process of the study, professional achievements, strengths, and aspects that need to be strengthened. Findings support that online peer supervision group is effective in reducing the burnout levels of school counselors.
