Kate Daly
I specialise in late-diagnosed ADHD&autism women , AuDHD unmasking, and perimenopause. I help women who’ve always managed somehow — but suddenly can’t — understand their nervous system, unmask their AuDHD, recover from overwhelm, and find sustainable ways to move forward.
Hi! I’m Kate. I was born in Yekaterinburg, Russia, and have lived in Los Angeles for over a decade. My original education is in engineering, but my professional path eventually led me toward psychology, behavioral science and the study of the brain.
I have experienced major life transitions, burnout and a severe depressive episode myself. These experiences taught me firsthand how profoundly our physical and nervous-system state can influence our thinking, behaviour and ability to see possibilities.
Who I Work With
I work with people who have reached a point where the strategies that once helped them function no longer seem to work.
Maybe you’ve always been able to push through, stay productive, take care of everything, and somehow manage. And then, suddenly, you can’t anymore.
Your energy is different. Your concentration is unreliable. Everyday tasks feel overwhelming. Your nervous system seems to react differently. You may feel burned out, disconnected from yourself, or unsure why things that used to be manageable have suddenly become so difficult.
This can be especially relevant for neurodivergent women with ADHD and/or autism late diagnosis, particularly during perimenopause.
I know this territory personally. This gives me not only professional knowledge, but a lived understanding of how changes in the brain, nervous system and hormonal environment can affect energy, attention, sensory processing, emotional regulation, motivation and everyday functioning.
My goal is to help you understand how your system actually works — and build strategies that work with it.
I particularly enjoy working with adults who:
* Are experiencing burnout, chronic overwhelm or loss of motivation.
* Are going through a major life transition or questioning what they want next.
* Want to understand themselves more deeply rather than simply become more “productive.”
* Want to reconnect with their goals without constantly fighting their own brain and body.
* Are navigating perimenopause and noticing unexpected changes in energy, focus, mood or resilience.
* Were diagnosed with ADHD and/or autism later in life.
* Have spent years compensating, masking, overachieving or simply “pushing through.”
* Feel that their old coping strategies suddenly stopped working.
How I Work
My approach is individualised, systemic and grounded in current knowledge about the brain and nervous system.
I believe coaching works best as a partnership. You are the expert on your own life. My role is to bring structure, curiosity and knowledge, and tools that help you see patterns, experiment with new strategies and make meaningful changes.
My Professional Background
Before the pandemic

My Philosophy
Getting to know yourself more honestly can change the way you navigate your entire life.
Self-understanding creates choice.
Regulation creates capacity.
And capacity makes meaningful change possible.
