About Lisa Goldberg

Lisa worked for 15 years as a learning support teacher in a Jewish primary school , navigating literacy and numeracy difficulties. As time passed, she became increasingly interested in the executive functioning process and how it is such a big part of the learning picture . She embarked on a post grad wellbeing for students degree , followed by a coaching degree at acap university and an ADHD coaching degree at ADDCA in the US.

Her Approach

A gentle, authentic path forward

In her work as an ADHD coach, she tries to create a space that feels gentle, real, and human. Living with ADHD herself, raising children with ADHD, and working closely with students and families over many years has given hera quiet understanding of how complex, emotional, and beautiful the journey can be.

Lisa doesn't arrive as an expert with all the answers — she comes as someone who listens deeply, notices strengths, and helps people uncover what already exists within them. She cares about the whole person: their values, their family, their community, and the small moments that shape their confidence.

Lisa's hope is that anyone who sits with her feels less alone, more understood, and a little more hopeful about what's possible for them.
