Creative remedy that requires prayer to be cured (3,7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

art therapy

'creative remedy' is the definition.

'that requires prayer to be cured' is the wordplay.
'requires' says to put letters next to each other.
'to be cured' indicates an anagram.
'that'+'prayer'='thatprayer'
'thatprayer' with letters rearranged gives 'ART THERAPY'.

(Another definition for art therapy that I've seen is " drawing on one's emotions?".)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
