Similarities include listening, observing, encouraging and customizing their approach to individual client needs.

However, there are differences between creative wellness guidance and therapy. For example, a creative guide partners up with the people they work with to help the client improve and enhance the quality of their lives in helping the client move forward, but do not analyze the past.

A therapist works with and counsels a client address the challenges of a mental health diagnosis, trauma, grief and loss. A therapist often draws on the client’s past history in order to help the client heal. This also improves the quality of the client’s life.

Additionally, a creative guide works actively with the client in order to create solutions and strategies; they believe the client is naturally creative and resourceful. Often times, their role is to provide support so that the client can further develop their inherent skills, confidence and creativity.

Similar to therapists, creative guides support their clients via in person or virtual session in order to help the client create their best personal and professional life.

Creative Wellness Guides help you focus, provide direction, compassionately challenge you, motivate you and celebrate with you.
