Congruence in counseling refers to the alignment between a counselor's genuine thoughts, feelings, and behaviors with their verbal and non-verbal expressions. Coined by Carl Rogers, congruence fosters authenticity, transparency, and a sincere connection between the counselor and client. It involves the counselor's ability to openly share their experiences without pretense, creating an environment conducive to trust and genuine self-exploration for the client. This transparency enhances the therapeutic alliance, contributing to effective communication and positive outcomes in the counseling process.
