Objective: To explore the lived experience of psychotherapists working online during COVID 19 in Ireland. Methods: A sample of eight participants were recruited by advertising through professional organisations and social media. Semi-structured interviews via the Zoom platform were used to collect participant accounts of their experience. An IPA approach was used to analyse the data in relation to the phenomenon of working online during the pandemic. This included the researcher making meaning of the participants making meaning of their experiences as well as reflecting on her insider researcher experience of working as a psychotherapistonline during the pandemic. Results: The findings of the study suggest four overarching Group Experiential Themes including, finding a way through the uncertainty, a sense of connection vs disconnection, a sense of loss and isolation and a feeling of surprise that online IT therapy works. The findings of the study are discussed using an existential theoretical lens, drawing on the work of Heidegger and applying Gillies and Neimeyer’s theoretical model of reconstruction of meaning in the face of loss, to the pandemic experience of psychotherapists. Conclusion: Participants' accounts suggest that the experience of working online was both challenging and positive. Working therapeutically online has led to a fresh perspective of online therapy among these practitioners and implications for future policy and practice regarding professional training, and service accessibility have been presented.
