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 has met the educational requirements to become a Registered Psychotherapist. She is currently in the process of completing the requirements for full registration with the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario.
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.
Chandan says there may be initial hesitation to share one’s troubles with a stranger- but there are two sides to that coin.
Chandan believes social media has played its part in helping people open up about Mental Health.

Both parties enjoyed the preparation of this material for our on-air feature on Mental Health Week, (for which this feature was slated to air Wednesday May 7th, 2025) and in discussion we came to realize that interviewing has much in common with psychotherapy. With this in mind Ms. Singh-Beatty asked if she could share the recording session on her Brightspace website. Most certainly! An edited version, to the proscribed 4 minute requirement, and then the full conversation follow below.
