Aware Women
The heart-centred digital mental health platform for busy New England women.
Hi, I’m Amy Ware – Accredited Mental Health Social Worker & founder of Aware Women.
We know how hard it is to access counselling or mental health treatment – especially in the bush!
At Aware Women we have worked hard to develop an affordable and accessible women-centred digital health solution for the mental health and counselling needs of New England women. We put YOU in charge of your treatment with our unique combination of individual therapy and our sophisticated Monsenso mobile app.
The Monsenso app for individuals can help you increase awareness and learn more about your symptoms to support you and Amy in the treatment process. The app can help you play a more active role in your treatment, empowering you to better manage your mental health in between your sessions. Your self-reported data is shared Amy and provides both of you with a clear picture on how your mental health develops.
Work with us from anywhere – the comfort of home, on your lunch break or even sitting in the car watching the kids cricket training! No more worrying about who will look after the kids while you have an appointment or driving over an hour to see your therapist. All you need is your phone, tablet or laptop and some data and you’re set!
Our affordable and accessible digital health platform provides a safe space for women to address the unique social and mental health needs that present across the life-course. We work with teens, young adults, adults, mature-aged women and anyone who identifies as gender diverse or non-binary.
Our passion is restoring good mental health – not just easing mental illness or distress.
Life doesn’t have to be difficult. Getting help to get back on the right track can be one of the best investments you ever make in yourself.

Woman-sensitive practice is an approach that recognises gender as a significant social determinant, acknowledging the different experiences, expectations, pressures, inequalities and needs of women (Department of Health, 2011).
Women are exposed to a particular range of social, economic and biological risk factors that can increase the risk of poor mental health. Women disproportionately experience some mental health disorders and are more frequently subject to the social causes that lead to mental illness and psychosocial distress.
Women are more likely than men to have (or report symptoms of) the following conditions:
• anxiety disorders
• affective disorder such as depression
• eating disorders
• deliberate self-harm
• perinatal depression
• multimorbid physical illnesses.
