Support for your parenting journey
Hi, I’m Barbara Eames — a qualified Parent Coach and NDIS Support Specialist with over 15 years of experience working with families, children, and communities across Australia.
I hold a Bachelor of Social Science (Psychology) and a broad suite of qualifications including a Certificate IV in Training and Assessment, Certificate IV in Work Health and Safety, Diploma of Business, and specialist training in evidence-based parenting programs like 1-2-3 Magic® & Emotion Coaching and Bringing Up Great Kids.
Through Independent Futures Support, I walk alongside parents and carers of children with disability to reduce stress, strengthen connection, and create calm, confident home environments. Whether you're navigating complex behaviours, the NDIS system, or simply feeling overwhelmed, I’m here to help with practical strategies that honour your child’s unique needs — and your own.
From autism and ADHD to intellectual disability, sensory challenges, and more — I meet families with empathy, insight, and a deep belief in their capacity to thrive.
Let’s find what works for your family, together.
Our Purpose:
We’re here to help you feel confident, informed and supported as you navigate your NDIS journey - No matter where you’re starting from.
Our Values
Calm: Support should feel safe, clear, and manageable.
Connection: We build strong relationships with the people we support.
Confidence: We empower families with tools and information they can trust.
Care: Every person deserves compassionate, respectful support.
