Yes. congruence, in counseling, is an interpersonal skill. Congruence involves the ability to communicate your feelings openly and honestly, without filtering them. It is a genuine and beautiful way of expressing your heartfelt emotions and in a way that is facilitative and connectable, to the person on the receiving end.  Transparency is the main rule behind congruency and it defines the nature of a therapeutic relationship. The client and the therapist need to share a mutual understanding and open relationship for the smooth transitions of the counseling process.
