In past years, stigmas surrounding mental health have stifled public discussion- and that’s enhanced fears about “psychotherapy” and its aims and objectives.
Chandan Singh-Beatty is a “Registered Psychotherapist-Qualifying”, which means she practices under supervision until writing her final exams in October.
Chandan attended Yorkville University and did her Masters in Counselling Psychology. Her client empathy stems from overcoming a lot in her own life.
She’s the proprietor of Brightspace Psychotherapy in Carleton Place and is in the process of expanding her practice to Almonte.
