ABOUT BEATITUDE

Beatitude Chirongoma is a Social Worker, Mental Health Educator, and Perinatal Grief & Loss Practitioner, with a Master of Social Work and membership with the Australian Association of Social Workers (AASW).

She is a trained Mental Health First Aid facilitator and has completed specialised training in Perinatal Loss in Practice through Centre of Perinatal Excellence (COPE) and Perinatal Non -Directive counselling through Australian Psychological Society (APS). Beatitude is also trained in Best Practice Professional Supervision.

Beatitude has delivered mental health education to organisations, universities, private events, and community groups across Western Australia, equipping individuals and teams with practical, trauma-informed strategies for wellbeing, while fostering open conversations about mental health in diverse settings.

Her practice experience spans government, private, and not-for-profit sectors, with roles in hospital social work, domestic and family violence, disability services and child protection. She has provided counselling and case management in community public health settings and has supported patients across a wide range of hospital settings – including the emergency department, acute, complex, and specialised care units – coordinating safe, person-centred discharge planning in collaboration with multidisciplinary teams. Since 2022, she has also worked as a Family and Domestic Violence Counsellor, offering trauma-informed care to individuals navigating relationship-based trauma, assessing risk, and developing safety plans.

Most recently, Beatitude has deepened her focus on perinatal grief and loss, offering specialist support through Periwinkle Space by Sprout Unit. Her work is shaped by compassion, warmth, and a desire to walk alongside people in their grief – holding space for their pain, while honouring their strength, resilience, and capacity to find meaning.

Outside of work, Beatitude enjoys spending time with her family, running, and dreaming up her next travel adventure.

“Journeying together through life’s tender beginnings and transitions”

Periwinkle Space offers compassionate, person-centred, trauma-informed, evidence and strength-based support for women and families navigating the emotional complexities of the perinatal season – from conception to early parenting, and through experiences of change, uncertainty or loss.

Non-Directive Pregnancy Support

For Those Facing Complex Pregnancy Decisions

Pregnancy can bring a wide range of emotions – hope, uncertainty, joy, or distress. Sometimes, circumstances such as an unintended pregnancy, health complications, or complex personal situations can leave you feeling unsure of what to do or how to move forward.

As a trained Perinatal Non-Directive Counsellor, I offer confidential, non-judgmental support to help you explore your thoughts, feelings, and options with clarity and compassion. My role is to provide a safe and emotionally grounded space, walk alongside you as you explore what matters most to you, helping you find clarity and confidence in making decisions that align with your values, circumstances, and wellbeing.

I draw on person-centred, trauma-informed, and evidence-based frameworks such as:

Grace Within

Healing Circle

Grace Within is a small, supportive healing circle for women navigating the heartbreak of perinatal loss – whether through miscarriage, stillbirth, neonatal death, termination for medical reasons.

This space is rooted in the belief that grief is not a problem to be fixed, but a sacred experience to be witnessed, gently held, and honoured. Within this circle, women are invited to slow down, exhale, and feel seen in their stories – without pressure, judgement, or comparison.

Who It’s For

Grace Within is open to women of Christian belief who experienced loss and carrying long-held grief.

This space is especially for those seeking:

• A sense of connection after feeling isolated in grief
• Compassionate, non-clinical support to grieve in your own way
• A space to reflect on meaning, identity, and healing journey
• Gentle community among others who understand

Details

Format: Online Via Zoom
Frequency: Monthly (dates TBC)
Facilitator: Beatitude Chirongoma – Social Worker, Perinatal Grief & Loss Practitioner

“Grace Within is not about fixing what’s broken. It’s about gently holding what’s sacred.”

Seed & Still – Events

Workshops, Talks & Faith-Informed Community Engagement

Seed & Still is the community-facing arm of Sprout Unit – where education, storytelling, and soul-care meet. This offering is for those seeking heartfelt, grounded presentations or workshops that gently hold space for topics often left unspoken: perinatal grief, mental health, and healing.

Whether you’re a church, community group, education institution, or organisation, I bring professional insight and lived understanding to sensitive conversations – honouring both emotional wellbeing and spiritual meaning.

“A word in season, a seed of hope, a stillness to reflect.”

My Approach

Each session is tailored to the unique needs of your group. I combine storytelling, clinical knowledge, and compassion to foster a safe and uplifting space – one where difficult topics can be gently named and held.

Whether in-person or online, I am available to facilitate sessions that sow healing, spark connection, and make room for stillness in a hurried world.
