Authentic Relationships Start Here

I'm Markus van Driel, an intuitive life and relationship coach specialising in helping gay men build deeper connections, navigate challenges and create the love and life they deserve.

My background spans learning and development, leadership, psychology and energy work. I’ve worked with professionals, creatives, leaders, couples and singles across Australia, Europe and Globally.

What I bring to coaching is simple. A sharp mind. Deep intuition. And a way of seeing people that helps them grow quickly

I teach what I've lived

My Journey To Supporting You

I’ve rebuilt my life more times than I can count.Through divorce, financial collapse, job-loss, midlife shifts, identity loss and the loneliness of starting over in new countries.

At one point I was earning more money than I ever imagined. My partner and I even came close to becoming millionaires.

But even with all that success, something felt off. I felt I had lost my identity, and despite being in a relationship, I felt lonely. I knew something had to change.

I wanted a life that felt honest and connected, not just successful on paper.

So I chose to grow. To understand who I was, what I wanted, and how to create a life that felt true to me.

But most programs I found didn’t speak to my experience as a gay man. Some were rigid. Some were full of hype.

None spoke to what I truly needed.

That’s why I coach differently.


I blend intuitive insight with evidence-based tools and deep inner work so you can create real, lasting change from the inside out.

Self-Awareness

Building genuine relationships starts with understanding yourself and embracing your truth.

Safe Space

Creating judgment-free environments where you can explore, heal, and grow without fear.

Inclusive Approach

Celebrating all forms of love and relationships within the LGBTQ+ community and beyond.

Intuitive Guidance

Combining evidence-based techniques with intuitive insights for personalised and rapid transformations.

READY TO GIVE it A TRY?

Proven Methods. Guided by Intuition.

I bring together over a decade of training in transformational coaching, energy healing, and relationship psychology—including certifications in NLP, Reiki, the Gottman Method, Kinesiology, Time Line Therapy™ and Hypnosis. But what really matters? I know how to help you shift what's been stuck, because I've lived it, and I’ve helped many others like you do the same.

Here’s what changes when we work together:

  • Rebuilding confidence

  • Healing emotional patterns

  • Creating healthy relationships

  • Dating with clarity and purpose

  • Navigating breakups

  • Strengthening intimacy

  • Improving communication

  • Understanding your identity

  • Life transitions

  • Career direction and personal leadership

Deze veranderingen geven je de duidelijkheid, kracht en richting waarnaar je op zoek was.

Who I work with and Where?

Based in The Netherlands, I coach gay men, between 35 and 55 who are successful in many areas of life, career, skills, even financial stability, but want more connection and meaning their relationships and daily life.

Many of my clients are professionals, business owners and leader. Most are based in the Netherlands, Belgium London (United Kingdom), United States of America, Australia and Europe.

Whether you are single or in a relationship, the work is the same. We look at who you are becoming and clear the patterns that no longer fit the man you are today.

I work worldwide through online coaching. Because location doesn’t limit transformation.

Below are the ways I support singles and couples.
