Abstract
This research dissertation evaluates the experiences of Cope Foundation therapists who delivered tele-therapy throughout the Covid-19 pandemic. It identifies the advantages, opportunities, challenges, and barriers which the therapist’s faced. This research is part of the CARL initiative and is in partnership with Cope Foundation. The research is underpinned by social constructivism and uses an interpretivism lens as well as a community-based approach. This primary research dissertation used a survey to gather data. The survey was sent to therapists at Cope Foundation via email. 22 responses to the survey were gathered and analysed using mixed methods. The research identified the advantages, opportunities, challenges, and barriers of tele-therapy. The findings indicate that a blended approach of therapy is the method preferred by therapists. The researcher has listed a number of recommendations in the concluding chapter
