My name is Deborah and I am an independent travel agent living in Methley, a village close to Leeds, Castleford and Wakefield. I have worked in the travel industry for almost 20 years, joining Travel Counsellors in May 2006. Previously I was a manager for a high street travel agent.
I feel that customers should be able to receive a high level of personal service when looking for a holiday, and unlike many high street travel agents, Travel Counsellors can deliver this. I am also able to offer you independent travel advice and will confidently offer a holiday that suits you, irrespective of the tour operator. I recognise that not everyone is free to discuss their travel arrangements during the working week, and with the fantastic technology available to me I am able to work from home and deal with your requests at a time suitable to you.
My favourite holiday was to Dubai where I visited in 2005, however I have also been on other wonderful holidays including skiing in the alps, cruising around the Caribbean, and typical family beach holidays in Spain and Portugal. I am passionate about travel and with my experience I can confidently deal with any type of enquiry.
Travel Counsellors is one of the largest independent travel agencies in the UK.
As your own professional Travel Counsellor I can use my personal expertise to tailor make exactly the right holiday to suit your needs. Rather than booking you a standard tour operator package, I can also quickly search through hundreds of different flight, accommodation and transfer alternatives to find you the perfect holiday.
I can help you arrange any part of your travel arrangements - so whether you just need a flight to Barcelona or a last minute holiday to Florida give me a call. And of course I can help with any other travel arrangements you may have, including car hire and insurance.
My business is based purely on providing my customers with the highest possible levels of personal service, and I would be delighted to help you with your holiday plans.
I hope to hear from you soon.

My Blog
I absolutely live and breathe travel and I love to write about my experiences! Please take a look through my posts - you might find your own holiday inspiration.
I have recently returned from a fabulous cruise on the Azamara Quest.
My journey began in Nice and from here we went on the short journey to Monaco, St Tropez and Propriana in Corsica before having three wonderful days in Italy visiting the resorts of Amalfi and Sorrento.
The highlight for me was definitely the ship itself. In my opinion, it is very much like a stately home at sea. For those who know the Devere 'Oulton Hall' it very much reminds me of that. The fixtures and furniture are very classy without being brash, and although the ship was small (approximately 500 passengers) it felt very spacious.
The food was excellent, I liked the fact that it was open seating, no set times and very few queues for dinner. The dress code was smart casual throughout - no black tie or jackets. Azamara breaks away from the tradition of expensive drinks - house wine, beers, and many spirits are all free of charge! The white and red are changed every day giving everyone the chance to taste wines from around the world (the New Zealand Sauvignon was my favourite!)
I was lucky to have an outside cabin with balcony which was lovely, very spacious and tastefully decorated.
Azamara offers each passenger the option to take part in a free Azamazing evening excursion which I thought was a fabulous trip to the Oceanographic Museum in Monaco. I saw that most passengers did partake in this and the organisation was excellent.
Overall, I had a wonderful time on this beautiful ship and would love to return.

Deborah has been organising holidays for us for some years now and they have always been very well thought out and our requirements have exceeded our expectations. Nothing is too much trouble for her at all. I have had no problems recommending her to friends either. Professional is the best word to describe her.

Always a very bespoke service which is completed taking into account our needs. Very prompt responses whenever we ask for more details or when we create a combination of destinations. I have recommended Deborah to numerous colleagues who now use travel counsellors regularly and Deborah in particular.

She is so friendly and efficient it's like having a member of the family looking after all our travel arrangements. There is no detail too big or small for her to deal with. I don't know what we'd do without her and I hope that never happens.

Deborah Robbins was recommended to us by a friend who comes to visit us in Florida every year. She had told me numerous stories of how Deborah had helped her with travel plans in the past.. This year we decided to ask Deborah for help. I had thought it might be difficult as we live in the USA. But absolutely not! She found us flights at a good price and called us at home to get our credit card details. I have already recommended her to English friends here in the States, and to friends in the UK. Thank you for your service.

Just wanted to drop you an email to say how grateful me and my husband are for helping us arrange our wedding in Jamaica. We literally couldn't have done it without you. Even from choosing which country to get married in, as you know we didn't have a clue until we sought your advice. Your help and support was over and above anything we have received before and we appreciated it in helping us arrange one of the most important days in our lives. The surprise of arranging for my mum and dad to be there was amazing! Don't know how you kept that one to yourself for so long!
As you know my family have used you for a number of years and the service has always been top quality and personal. You make us feel like you genuinely care and want to book us the best possible option. Look forward to plenty more bookings with you in the future. :-)
Thanks a million again for everything you have done for us.

Thank you for organising our recent holiday in Orlando, Florida. We all had a fantastic time – grandchildren and adults alike! We feel privileged to have someone so knowledgeable, efficient and capable to organise our holidays for us. You have such a calm, reassuring, confident manner and you make us, as customers, feel valued. The advice you gave us was exceptional and we would recommend you to anyone, as your professional, friendly approach is greatly appreciated.
All aspects of the holiday fitted together perfectly, from flights to car hire, villa rental and of course the 14 day theme park tickets. Thank you once again Deborah for putting it all together and giving us a family holiday to remember.
Best wishes,

I just felt I really had to write to travel counsellors to be able to publicly sing the praises of Deborah Robbins. Although Deborah has booked holidays for us before, this time she really was quite indispensible.
Our flight to Dubai was cancelled as we arrived at the airport, and after a four hour wait in a queue that hardly moved I rang her in desperation to try and find an alternative. She was calm and gave me on the spot advice and then drove to Leeds/Bradford, a 50 minute journey in Christmas traffic to collect me and my son as we were then told we would travel the next day.
Deborah has the knack of being able to search out options that you may not have thought out yourself, yet fit perfectly with your needs. She is always reliable and will return emails promptly, with information that will help you make the necessary choices. Deborah’s thoroughness of approach is always visible; especially when there are complex travel arrangements she clearly highlights what you need to do. I certainly do not have the time or the expertise to research holiday options, and can relax in the knowledge that Deborah will have thought of everything to ensure that all I have to do is pack my bags and go!
She’s one in a million and will always go the ‘extra mile’ to ensure you have a holiday that suits you. I would be happy to endorse her as the number one travel counsellor as I cannot possibly think of any way she, or anyone else could do the job better!
