About
Online mental health counselling in Halifax and Nova Scotia led by registered counselling therapists. Serve teens, adults, and couples with support for anxiety, depression, relationships, life transitions, and identity concerns.
Senior Care Path Summary
Insight Mental Health Counselling offers online therapy across Halifax and Nova Scotia, delivered by two Registered Counselling Therapists, Jane Donovan and Jules Smith. Sessions are conducted remotely, which can suit older adults who have mobility challenges, live in rural areas, or prefer the convenience of home-based care.
The practice uses narrative therapy and trauma-informed, evidence-based approaches. While they explicitly support teens and adults with anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, burnout, and life transitions, the website does not mention specific experience with geriatric populations or common later-life mental health issues such as grief, end-of-life concerns, or cognitive changes.
Online-only delivery means seniors do not need to travel to an office, but requires comfort with video technology and a reliable internet connection. There is no information about accessibility adjustments for hearing loss, vision changes, or other age-related needs that seniors may have.
The practice welcomes diverse clients and takes a holistic, person-centred approach. However, prospective senior clients would need to contact the practice directly to confirm whether the therapists have experience working with older adults or can address seniors' specific mental health needs.

One of the best virtual counselling services you’ll ever experience. The therapists are incredibly kind, compassionate, and genuinely committed to helping you in every way they can. I truly wish I could give more than 5 stars—because they absolutely deserve it. If you’re considering booking a session, don’t hesitate. You won’t regret it! ♥️

I've known and worked with Jane Donovan for over a decade. She's a skilled and empathetic counselling therapist with strong skills to help people create meaningful change in their lives. A particular strength is her approach to helping couples improve their abilities to communicate with each other. I've witnessed first-hand Jane's effectiveness at helping couples resolve issues and challenges affecting their relationship.
