Spiritual companionship is similar to spiritual direction. Both focus on helping clients discern God's leading and both involve spiritual practices. However, spiritual companionship, unlike spiritual direction, tend to include more psycho-educational components. In particular, spiritual companionship can help clients:
● Discern God's leading and become mindful of God's presence in one's daily life
● Process one's God image
● Learn helpful spiritual practices (Christian meditation, Lectio Divina, Centering Prayer, etc.)
● Process spiritual grief issues
● Etc.
