I have always been interested in learning about other cultures and languages, and this is how my love of travel started and developed. Originally from Belgium, I have now been living in the UK for over 20 years with my husband who I married in beautiful Mauritius. We have 3 children, one of whom has a severe nut allergy and therefore I am understanding and mindful of additional needs or adjustments you or members of your party may require.As a family, we are keen travellers and love discovering new places which led me to plan many of our bespoke holidays over the years. One of our most unforgettable memories was our Iceland trip due to the wide range of experiences which met all our individual needs including a puffin encounter, glacier hiking, geothermal bread baking, zip lining, walking inside a volcano and relaxing in the Blue Lagoon. Some of my travel highlights are: hiking through the Canyons in Southwest USA including Zion and Bryce national parks, husky sledding in Lapland, taking a boat trip on the Glacier lagoon in Iceland, snorkelling amongst turtles and nursing sharks in the Maldives, watching the fireworks in Euro Disney, swimming with the dolphins in Florida, feeding elephants and sleeping on floating tents in Thailand, enjoying a seaweed bath in South of Ireland, water rambling in Gorges du Verdon in South of France, learning to ski in Austria and Switzerland, zip lining in Snowdonia in Wales, driving through Glencoe in Scotland, scuba diving in Corsica, exploring Northern Italy including lake Garda, the Dolomites & Venice, sunrise hot air balloon experience over the desert, and finally saying “I do” on the beach in Mauritius.What I can offer you… As a travel counsellor, my mission is to give you a highly personal travel service build on trust, care and honesty. I am committed to ensure that your holiday is a memorable and meaningful experience by getting to know you personally, making sure that your trip is tailored to you own personal needs and preferences and taken care of for you from start to finish.

Welcome, thank you for visiting my page, I am delighted to meet you, I hope to be able to share & explore a passion for travel with you.My name is Tracy, I am a Travel Counsellor based on the East Coast in Sunny Suffolk where I have spent most of my adult life. My childhood was always filled with travel living in Germany meant travelling Europe was easier. This is where my passion for travel and different cultures started as we travelled frequently across Europe & Asia.In my former life I spent 30+ years as a Finance Manager in the private sector and I fulfilled my desire for travel through extended holidays from backpacking around Australia to exploring the far east. I finally took the plunge in 2020 & enrolled onto the Travel Counsellors Academy programme & for the past 4 year I have worked full time as a Travel Counsellor where I am able to follow my dreams in an industry that I love.My husband and I often travelled long haul prior to the arrival of our son Tommy, we have a passion for Asia & have travelled through Hong Kong, China, Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia & Thailand. We have also sampled the delights that are on offer in the Caribbean. More recently we have travelled across the Atlantic to Canada & also to the Middle East.Travelling with children can be a mixed blessing, full on family holiday can often leave you shattered but full of amazing memories which are treasured for years to come. Thankfully Tommy was happy to travel & always enjoyed spending time making new friends & whirling away a few hours at the kids club.Holidays are all about fabulous memories and I look forward to being able to build memoires with you. Every detail is important and every holiday we build will be to your requirements so that your holidays meet and exceed your expectations. I will be there with you for the journey and at hand to assist with your requirements pre, during & post holiday.I sincerely look forward to meeting you helping to make you travel dreams come true.

My name is Vicky D’Arcy, I live in Swanland, East Yorkshire with my husband and two teenage boys.I have a wealth of experience in service industries, starting in the travel industry in 1991 on the high street as a travel agent, selling holidays. I progressed to Branch Manager and Area Sales Manager across Humberside (as it was then!). In that time I was lucky enough to experience Caribbean cruises, USA breaks, safaris, city breaks and skiing holidays. We moved to Australia and lived there for 9 years, so I have good ‘down under’ knowledge including Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and Cairns and have travelled in the Far East. I will never forget amazing experiences like diving on the Great Barrier Reef, climbing the Sydney harbour bridge, sinking my toes into the sand on Bondi beach or even Toad racing in far north Queensland! I have been back in the UK 17 years now and have visited many popular European destinations with the Greek, Italian and Balearic Islands real favourites! I have also been to the United Arab Emirates enjoying a long weekend in the sun in Abu Dhabi, visited New York, Boston and then Mexico to experience the 'all-inclusive' resorts. This year I have been to some new destinations for me, Ikos Andalusia in Spain, Funchal in Madeira and then I have just been on a 7-Night Amalfi & Dalmation cruise getting to see Amalfi Coast, Montenegro and Croatia. I am lucky to be doing what I love, researching and booking your holidays, flights and adventures! I understand that every trip is unique and I have the flexibility to plan and book every little detail to suit you. I also have access to a world-wide network of travel counsellors across the globe to help me find the perfect solution for your travel plans.

Hi, my name is Julie. I am based in Bingley, West Yorkshire. With over 40 years experience in the travel industry, I am part of a network of over 1800 travel consultants. I joined Travel Counsellors as I wanted to concentrate on giving my customers the highest possible levels of personal service and independent travel advice. We give you the opportunity of selecting your holiday from the comfort of your own home, coupled with a degree of expertise you will not find elsewhere. Travel Counsellors is one of the largest independent travel agencies in the UK. As your own professional Travel Counsellor I can use our award winning technology and my personal expertise to tailor make exactly the right holiday to suit your needs. Rather than selling you a standard tour operator package, I can quickly search through hundreds of different flight, accommodation and transfer alternatives to find something that suits your needs exactly. Quite often this means I can build you a bespoke holiday at a cheaper price than the standard holiday package you might get elsewhere. So whether you just need a flight to Barcelona or a last minute holiday to Florida I can help and of course I can help with any other travel arrangements you may have, including holiday car hire and holiday insurance. My aim is to build long term partnerships with all my clients based on trust, understanding and the honesty of independent advice and I will offer you the best value available from a wider range of operators than any high street agency can offer. I can provide you with any details you require quickly by email or telephone, I work flexible hours so can be contacted when you need me. My business is based purely on providing my customers with the highest possible levels of personal service and I would be delighted to assist you with your holiday plans.I hope to hear from you soon.

Thank you so much for visiting my page. You might not realise it yet, but by being here, you’re supporting a genuine small business. One where every holiday I plan, starts with truly listening to what matters to you. After 17 wonderful years working in the travel industry, I took a leap of faith in 2025 and launched my own travel business. Those years were filled with incredible opportunities, from coordinating large group getaways and overseas weddings to working alongside tourism boards across the USA, Caribbean and Canada, helping travellers discover new destinations. Early in my career, I was the friendly face at your high street travel agency, and more recently, I supported exciting digital projects at Travel Counsellors’ head office.Now, I pour all of that experience into designing holidays that are unique to you. I take the time to truly get to know my clients... asking the sort of questions that many travel companies simply won’t. My aim is to understand not just where you want to go, but what you love and what you’d prefer to avoid. There is no ‘one size fits all’ with me, it’s always personal, always tailored, and you can always expect a prompt reply, whether you reach out by phone, WhatsApp, email, or DM.If you’d like to learn more, please have a look at my blogs, scroll through my socials, or read some of the lovely testimonials from people I’ve helped before. However you prefer to get in touch, I’m here, ready to chat through your ideas and help you plan a holiday as individual as you are.Your booking is always protected by a 100% financially secure Trust Fund, and the reassurance of a 24/7 Duty Office, just in case. With my approach, you’ll always feel safe, valued, and genuinely cared for, from our first conversation until you return home. I can’t wait to help you design your next adventure...

Hello, I'm Katie, and I've recently taken an exciting new step to turn my passion for travel into a career as a Travel Counsellor. I grew up in the beautiful green countryside of Ireland, surrounded by perfect beaches and so much natural beauty, the kind of place that inspires love for adventure and the outdoors. Over the years, I've been lucky enough to explore parts of Europe, including France, Greece, Spain, Portugal, Hungary, Denmark and the Netherlands, and once made it across the Atlantic to New York! Each destination has given me unforgettable memories and a deeper passion for travel. Before starting this journey, I worked in retail, and later qualified as a veterinary nurse and spent many years caring for animals. Caring for people and animals has always come naturally to me, and I love bringing that same care and attention to detail into planning holidays. I'm also a proud mum of two little boys, who remind me every day how precious shared experiences and memories are. I believe travel is one of the best ways to learn about ourselves, it opens our minds, enriches our lives and helps us see the world, and ourselves, in a new light. I'm especially excited to help my clients make memories that will last a life-time, whether it's a romantic escape, a family adventure, or a once in a lifetime trip, I take pride in creating something truly special for every client. Let's make your next holiday one to remember!

Hi, My name is Jackie Cook; I now live in Northamptonshire but have lived all over the UK and spent 8 years in France. I am married with one son who recently got married.I have worked in the travel industry for nearly 50 years. I have gained experience in different areas of the industry and have been very fortunate to have travelled extensively during that time. Living in France from the age of 12 gave me an opportunity which only later did I appreciate. I speak fluent French and started my interest in working in the travel industry. I joined Seaspeed Hovercarfts in Dover when I was 18 which then became Hoverspeed and this is where I met my husband who is from Dover. The summers were great down at the Hoverport but not so much in the winter!My next positions really became as I followed my husband with his job moves so in 1984 we moved to Peterborough and I joined Thomas Cook. Their training then was fabulous and soon became a travel agent for the first time. We then moved to Leicestershire and like my husband we joined Page and Moy where I stayed for 11 years until I moved to Travel Counsellors in March 2000My favourite European city has always been Paris, and some recent holidays have been spent cruising on a canal boat in different parts of France. Ask me more about that; it’s a wonderful way to relax and meet the locals. We do also love the Greek islands and have visited many over the years. This year was Crete for the first time but we need to go again as it is a large island and we only saw a small part of it.I have been fortunate in that the companies I have worked for have seen a benefit in allowing me to travel for educational purposes to countries I would never have expected to visit. These include Peru and the magical Machu Picchu, South Africa and Kenya on exciting safaris, the Caribbean, cruising (on ships as well as canal boats!), Thailand and Malaysia and many more. They even tried to teach me to dive in the Great Barrier Reef. (I did not pass but at least I completed the course!). The latest trip was to New Orleans, what an exciting city that is. If I have not visited a destination you may be interested in, the Travel Counsellors message board will allow me to find out the answers to your questions. Someone will know.When you call my number, it will be me who answers; this allows me to build up a rapport with my clients, who then return to me year after year for their holiday arrangements.We have a 24 hour duty office who are there at the end of a phone line when there is a hurricane , a cancelled flight, companies going bust at the last minute, helping us with clients who become ill or need to get home quickly. This is such a benefit to have when something goes wrong, but also they keep us updated with latest visa and health requirements. Please give me a try and I promise you will not be disappointed. I will offer to you the best possible professional service you could hope to receive. I look forward to hearing from you,Jackie

Hello and thanks for taking the time to look me up. I've been with Travel Counsellors since 2004 and every day is a fantastic challenge which makes me enjoy my work more and more. It's such an honour to be part of such an exciting and innovative company where our ethos is firmly rooted in excellent customer service.For 18 years I specialised in Business Travel and enjoyed creating itineraries which include flights, hotels, cars, ferries and rail reservations but since joining Travel Counsellors, I now have the opportunity to put together some really exciting itineraries for leisure customers as well and my knowledge of the leisure sector is growing by the day.Of course I have done some travelling myself and have been many times to Europe. I loved the buzz of New York, the 'Summertime' feeling you get in Miami and the clean air of San Francisco. Dubai is fabulous for shopping and sizzling on the beach or relaxing in the desert. I've also been to Hong Kong where the pace never eases up and in contrast, to the Caribbean where nothing is rushed and you'd fare better if you just relaxed! I'm also an avid cruiser and have cruised with P&O, Princess, Royal Caribbean and Holland America cruise lines and this year I was on board for P&O's Azura and NCL's EPIC inaugural events. Cruising is fantastic these days and really has something for everyone. So you see, I love travelling and when I'm not, I take pleasure in arranging travel for my friends, and my clients become my friends, and I always arrange a holiday on the basis of ' would I go there'. Thanks for taking the time to read my page and get in touch when you next want your dream holiday arranged. Please feel free to contact me by phone or email.Kind regardsGill

If you are reading this, the chances are you are contemplating booking your perfect holiday or short break very soon. So let me tell you a little about myself...My name is Kay and I live on the beautiful North Yorkshire east coast in sunny Scarborough. I have been married to my husband John for 30 years, and we have one adult son, Jay. Being brought up in my parents’ family-run hotel, I learnt at an early age the importance of customer service. This continued throughout my career in hospitality. I have worked in 5* hotels in London and Harrogate, I was an Event Manager in Sheffield and also a Business Travel Consultant with a large manufacturing company. Here, I had to source the best and most cost-effective way of travelling from A to B, booking worldwide flights, negotiating hotel rates, trains, ferries, car hire - creating itineraries to ensure busy schedules were adhered to.I have been on interesting holidays - driven across the volcanic landscape of Fuerteventura and micro climate Gran Canaria, ridden through Holland, Germany, Switzerland, Italy, France and Spain on a motorbike, dog-walked through stunning Southern Ireland, enjoyed family holidays in Egypt, Kos, Lanzarote, Croatia, Crete, Corfu, Cyprus, Mexico, Dubai and shared the ocean with great whites in stunning South Africa! I have trapezed with Club Med in Greece, skydived in Florida, cruised the Med, driven along the PCH in California, seen the Northern Lights in Norway, lazed on beautiful Barbados and Mauritian beaches, experienced a traditional Hammam in Kalkan, enjoyed the culture of Bangkok, Koh Samui and Phuket, gambled in Vegas and swum with dolphins in Walt Disneyworld, Orlando - one of my specialist areas of the world!So why book with me? Quite simply, ‘it’s personal'. I care about ensuring your holiday is perfect from start to finish - there is no charge for my expertise and I'm available at a time to suit you including evenings and weekends. Rather than selling you a standard tour operator package, I can quickly search through hundreds of different flight, accommodation and transfer alternatives to find a bespoke holiday that suits your needs exactly. I also offer you 100% financial protection through the Travel Counsellors Financial Trust - guaranteed peace of mind. Travel Counsellors is one of the largest independent travel agencies in the UK. We are the only UK travel company to have been awarded the Queen's Award for Enterprise - three times now! So, if you are interested in a luxury Maldivian escape, a short fun European city break, a skiing adventure, meeting Mickey and Minnie in Disneyworld or taking a cruise or an African safari, contacting me will only cost you the same as a local call - alternatively just text, tweet, instant chat, Facebook or email me! I look forward to speaking with you!

Hey! Travelling is in my blood, it has always piqued my interest and from an early age, my fascination in aircrafts and anything aviation became an obsession. My dream become a reality when I started what turned out to be a 17-year career in Aviation. A career which led to me working in various European locations as I fully embraced the “travel bug.” In 2007 I took the plunge by grabbing my backpack and heading to the shores of Australia, New Zealand and SE Asia. This adventure opened my eyes to a whole new world of diverse cultures, attitudes, celebrations, and people. In 2014 the opportunity for my family to move to Singapore came up and without hesitation we packed up our life and were soon living in the little Red Dot. The beauty with “travel” is that plans can change in a heartbeat, and our 2-year plan turned in to 10 years of living in the Lion City of Singapore. Here I continued my love of travel where I soaked up experiences in Cambodia, Thailand Vietnam, Indonesia, Philippines, Hong Kong, Maldives, Malaysia, and many more hidden gems. As a Travel Counsellor I want to share my love of discovery and experiences with other people, so that they too can embrace the true beauty of what is within our reach and to be captivated by our weird and wonderful world. Let me take you on an adventure. Jen“The world is a book, and those who do not travel read only a page.” -Saint Augustine

My journey in travel began in 1988 as a YTS trainee at just 17. In September 2000, I became a Travel Counsellor, and I’ve been dedicated to this amazing role for 24 years – which coincides with Travel Counsellors' 30th anniversary.

In 2022, he moved from volunteering to working, so now funds his own trips – a real win-win! We’ve been fortunate to explore incredible destinations together. From Alaska to the Caribbean, we’ve seen some jaw-dropping places. Greece stole our hearts in 2023, with visits to Chania, Crete, and Athens – it’s a new favourite! In 2024, we cruised the breathtaking Norwegian Fjords on P&O’s Iona in May and sailed on Disney Cruise Line’s Dream in September. We also kept up our tradition of UK breaks, with zoo visits, our annual Blackpool getaway, and a first-time trip to the Lake District – it didn’t disappoint! On top of this, I attended the CLIA River Cruise Conference in Amsterdam and the Ocean Cruise Conference in Southampton. These events keep me up to date with the latest in the cruise world, ensuring I offer the best advice to my customers. Planning holidays for my customers is my passion.

Hello! If you’re here then I’m guessing you’re interested in booking a holiday? Well, I understand just how completely personal and unique everyone’s travel choices are.. So if we don’t know each other already then I want to get to know you. What makes you tick? What do you LOVE to do? What are your goals for your holiday? What do your children/partner enjoy? I want to know it all, so that I can curate your dream travel plans and take all the stress away from you, leaving you to simply relax and enjoy each and every bespoke trip we create together.So with that in mind I thought I should tell you a little about me too… My name is Rebecca, I live in Preston, Lancashire with my husband Jamie, two children Eleanor & Hugo, and cockapoo Millie. With my husbands career as a professional footballer, our holidays and spending quality time together as a family has often been fairly restrictive.

For us - as I’m sure is the same for many others, our holidays always hold our favourite and most special times of our whole year, making precious memories together as a couple and family that we cherish forever.Dubai has always been one of our top places to holiday having been many times both with and without children (trust me - two very different holidays!!) however, I have experience from many destinations all around the world from touring around Thailand, honeymooning in Sri Lanka and the Maldives, and island hopping around Greece. Aswell as countless European city breaks, cruises, Disney and luxury all inclusive trips to IKOS and top Turkey resorts. However, the advantage you have when booking with me as part of the Global Travel Counsellors network, is that not only do you have access to my expertise, but we also have specialists for any destination you can imagine, ensuring your trips are always in the best hands for seamless planning, top recommendations and perfect experiences; no matter where in the world that may be.So are you ready to get started?? Get in touch with me and let me get to know you and your family.

I have over 17 years’ experience as a front-line sales consultant for a leading travel company. Based in Kensington, I worked in the First and Business Class department since 1997, where I managed both corporate and high-end leisure clients’ travel arrangements. This comprehensive service has included flights, accommodation, passport and visa information and relevant immunisation requirements.Over this period, I have built up a strong relationship not only with my clients but also with leading airlines and hotels around the world. I have an extensive knowledge of the aviation industry and how the seemingly complicated fare structures work. I pride myself on simplifying the most complicated itinerary, and will always go the extra mile to exceed my clients’ expectations and requirements.The most rewarding part of my job has been providing nothing less than the full package; an efficient, prompt, accurate and friendly service, no matter how demanding or urgent the request may be.I have travelled widely across the world, and have been lucky enough in my career to have visited many memorable places. Some of the highlights have included hot-air ballooning in Northern Queensland, sand boarding on the dunes in Namibia, viewing glaciers and camping in the High Arctic and crossing 9 time zones on the Trans Siberian Railway. Although beach holidays in the Caribbean and Oman never fail to recharge my batteries!I have lived in London all my life and am now a father of three young children, so my travel is less long-haul, and more UK and European. As a home-based Travel Counsellor I will always be on call and here to assist you with all your travel needs. I look forward to hearing from you and making your travel arrangements as seamless as possible.

Welcome everyone. I’m Deborah and I live in South Northants close to Milton Keynes along with my husband Steve and son Sebastian.My interest in travel was sparked at the age of 12 by a school project about ancient Egypt. I was fascinated and promised myself that I would one day see this mysterious place for myself and that I would definitely have a career in travel. I have done both and have had the most amazing time working in the travel retail sector as a travel consultant and a store manager and I have won various awards both individually and as part of the teams I have been fortunate to work with over the years. Consequently I have had 40 years of holidays and work trips (all in the line of duty) and therefore have a wealth of knowledge of this wonderful world which I love to share with my customers.I have enjoyed everywhere I have visited but my favourite is Italy so much so that we have bought a little renovation project down in Puglia. Otherwise I have such special memories of family holidays to Disney, Lapland, beautiful beach breaks across most of Europe, exciting city breaks around the world, Caribbean treats, relaxing and indulgent cruises, and tailor made trips to Canada, the Far East, USA, Brazil, New Zealand and Australia. I look forward to hearing about your experiences and helping you plan your next adventure. I will work tirelessly to find the perfect holiday and look for ways to make it extra special. I will be honest and offer unbiased advice and above all I will never underestimate the size of your emotional and financial investment. I will support you throughout.So whether you are looking for a UK break, a tailor made worldwide itinerary, a city break, a relaxing week on the beach, a river or ocean cruise I would love to help you. I am available when and how it suits you. We all have different life schedules and I can work around yours.Please feel free to contact me by phone or email. The details are below. We already have our passion for travel in common so I know this will be fun.

Hi, my name is Rachel, thank you for visiting my webpage - I look forward to helping you with your dream holiday. As an experienced travel consultant, I know how important it is to provide a personalised service and ensure that I go the extra mile to not only meet your needs but go beyond all expectations!I currently live in Dudley having moved to the area in December 2014. I am originally from Halesowen and previously lived in Netherton for 8 years. I am happily married and have three beautiful girls so family life is very active to say the least!Before becoming a Travel Counsellor in 2015, I was a travel agent for a main high street travel agency for over 14 years. Starting as a modern apprentice at 16 years old, (I always knew I wanted to work in travel) I then became a travel consultant after completing NVQ levels 2 & 3 in travel services before eventually completing my management training. In the time I have been in the travel industry, I have also completed different training courses to ensure my knowledge remains in first class and, unsurprisingly, I have travelled all over the world either on my own, with work or with my family.I regularly get asked: "What is your favourite destination?". There are so many and for so many different reasons. I love helping people plan their perfect wedding as I got married in Nissi Bay in Cyprus, so I do have a soft spot for this beautiful island and its luxurious hotels and amazing sights. My most adventurous trip though has to be when I planned an exciting and, at times, breath-taking world tour which covered parts of Asia, Australia, New Zealand and America. I have also been lucky enough to cruise down the Nile in Egypt, meet the big five on safari in Kenya, as well as take in popular destinations in Canada, the Caribbean, Dubai, Hong Kong, an throughout the Mediterranean. I have a great fondness for city breaks with my husband and girls having visited, amongst others, Dublin, Barcelona, Rome, Bruges, Lapland, Iceland as well as getting engaged under the Jet d’Eau in Geneva, one of my personal favourites Reykjavik! I regularly do exclusive group led tours with myself as your guide, So far I have taken groups to Iceland several times, Finland and Italy with many more to come.Being a Travel Counsellor allows me to make it more personal for my customers and being available at convenient times for them, offering them a service that not just anybody can. It makes booking a holiday an exciting job, not a time consuming inconvenience.I would be delighted to hear from you and help to make your dreams become reality.

Hello, I’m Sharon.I live in Arundel, West Sussex with my husband and our gorgeous Cyprus rescue Poodle who has travelled extensively with us on nearly every mode of transport and has held 3 different passports – Cypriot, UK and France. He is most certainly quite the little globetrotter.My love for travel began with my very first flight at just three years old. From that moment, I knew this was the industry I wanted to be part of. Over the past 40+ years, I’ve worked across many sectors of the travel and tourism industry, gaining invaluable experience & knowledge , of most elements that make up your holiday such as airlines - both on the ground and in the air, cruise lines, hotels - as well as co-owning a coach travel business for 20 years with my husband, and owning a Chambres d'hotes in Brittany, France .I grew up in beautiful South Africa, moving to the UK in my mid twenties. During my childhood, due to the size of South Africa, it was never necessary to travel abroad, so as a family we travelled extensively within the country. As well as visits to smaller countries in Southern Africa such as Botswana, Lesotho, Swaziland and Zimbabwe. As a young adult, after a few years with South African Airways, I then embarked onto my travel agent journey, selling inbound as well as outbound holidays. So my knowledge of South Africa is extensive, should this be a destination you are interested in. I have also lived in Brittany, France, and my travels have taken me to incredible destinations including the Caribbean, Canada, New York, Iceland, Mauritius, Dubai, and India — to name just a few. I also have a passion for cruising - where else can you be in a luxury hotel, unpack once, yet visit multiple destinations. What I love most about my job is helping bring a customer’s travel vision to life. I’m passionate about creating unforgettable holidays that are as unique as each of my clients. From our first conversation, we’ll talk about your ideal trip — your likes, dislikes, and those special little touches that will make it truly memorable. From there, I’ll craft a bespoke itinerary just for you. Whether you’re dreaming of relaxing on a beach, exploring a vibrant city, or setting sail on a luxury cruise, I’m here to help you every step of the way — from the moment you book until you return home. And with 24/7 support, you're never on your own.With my exceptional customer service, care, attention to detail, and the backing of Travel Counsellors — a globally recognised and trusted brand — you’ll have complete financial protection and total peace of mind.So, whether it’s a cosy UK getaway or a grand, round-the-world adventure, I’ll work closely with you to make sure your trip is everything you’ve dreamed of — and more.For me, travel isn’t just about getting from A to B. It’s about the stories, the memories, and the joy of discovery. I’m your personal Travel Advisor, here to turn your travel dreams into reality.

Hi, I’m Soozie, your personal TC based in Bookham, where I live with my husband, son and our 2 dogs.Travel has been part of my life since I was young, from UK & European family holidays to more exotic adventures in the Far East and Indian Ocean. I even said “I do” in Las Vegas, followed by an unforgettable visit to the Grand Canyon, because I have always believed that travel should be personal, memorable and a little bit different. Over the last 25+ yrs in the industry, I have turned that passion into a career, helping clients create trips that feel truly special, from simple beach breaks to once‑in‑a‑lifetime journeys.My favourite destinations are hard to choose, as every trip is unique, but a few stand out. The Maldives has a big piece of my heart. The white sands, crystal‑clear water and incredible marine life are simply breath-taking. Watching manta rays glide through the water in the evening, spotting baby reef sharks at the water’s edge and snorkelling with colourful fish are memories I will never forget. Even the seaplane transfer feels like the start of the adventure as you fly over tiny islands and land beside the pristine beaches.Mauritius is another firm favourite and one of my top‑selling destinations. Here, you have stunning beaches plus the freedom to explore safely, perhaps by hiring a car and discovering waterfalls, viewpoints and local markets. It is fantastic for weddings, honeymoons and special celebrations - which I can help with.I also have a real love for the Far East. Thailand, with its delicious food, friendly people and mix of culture & beach, is always popular. I work a lot with touring and adventure holidays across Asia, India & Japan, as well as South America and bucket‑list destinations such as Antarctica.Most recently I travelled on an escorted tour of Saudi Arabia and a tour in Jordan, which were both incredible. From ancient sites and dramatic desert landscapes to warm local hospitality and lesser‑known cultural experiences, these trips have really deepened my knowledge of the Middle East. I now love helping clients who are curious about these emerging and more adventurous destinations.As a Travel Counsellor, I am part of an award‑winning company with a unique financial trust, which means everything I book is 100% financially protected. This peace of mind is one of the key reasons I chose to join Travel Counsellors. I have access to a huge range of trusted suppliers and can put together almost any kind of trip: tailor‑made itineraries, escorted tours, adventure and small‑group journeys, Indian Ocean and beach escapes, USA and city breaks, Alaska and cruise, Lapland and winter wonderland breaks, ski holidays and sports travel including cycling and golf.I am also proud to have been selected as a Tour Ambassador within Travel Counsellors, reflecting my particular expertise in touring, adventure and bucket‑list travel. I regularly train with our suppliers, keeping up to date with new tours, routes and best sellers, so I can match you with the right style and pace of trip, whether you are travelling solo, as a couple, with friends or as a family.When you book through me, you support a local small business and gain your own dedicated travel expert. I save you time by doing the research, compare the options for you and design holidays that are tailored to your tastes. Many of the complex tours and combinations I create are not easily found online. I am at the end of the phone, WhatsApp or email, and for local clients I will often hand‑deliver tickets and documents where I can. I can also arrange appointments outside normal office hours to suit your schedule.I genuinely care about getting it right and I love the challenge of finding the perfect holiday, whether that is a relaxing beach, a cultural tour, an epic road trip or a once‑in‑a‑lifetime expedition. If you are starting to dream about your next escape or that big bucket‑list adventure, I would love to help bring it to life.

Welcome, I’m HannahI live just outside Marlborough in the Wiltshire countryside, but my head is often somewhere else in the world! My love of travel began at 19 on an unforgettable adventure through India, Nepal and Thailand, and I have been chasing those “come alive” moments ever since.Some of my happiest memories have been made on the road: exploring India, Thailand, Nepal, Australia and Brazil, city-hopping in the US, unwinding in St Lucia and the Maldives, and honeymooning in the dreamy Seychelles. More recently, a family trip to Kenya, combining safari with time on the beach, reminded me just how powerful travel can be for bringing people closer together.Today, I specialise in creating premium, tailor-made holidays for individuals, couples, families and small groups. Think barefoot luxury in the Indian Ocean, meaningful family adventures, romantic honeymoons, elegant cruises, stylish city breaks or energising ski escapes. If you are looking for something special, considered and a little bit different, that is where I do my best work.Before launching my travel business, I spent years in live event production, where attention to detail, calm problem-solving and flawless timing were essential. I bring that same mindset to every itinerary I design, so your holiday feels seamless behind the scenes and effortless for you.Alongside premium leisure travel, I also support music and entertainment clients, drawing on my events background to help with touring and performance-related trips. Working with highly experienced Travel Counsellors colleagues in this space means I can offer the same high level of care and organisation to artists, crews and agents when needed, while keeping my main focus on luxury leisure travel.What really matters to me is getting to know you. I take the time to understand how you like to travel: the pace you enjoy, the details that make you feel looked after, the moments that feel truly special. From the big picture to the little extras such as airport parking, lounge access and smooth check-in, I design every trip as if it were my own.When you book with me as your Travel Counsellor, you will have:- A single, trusted point of contact who knows you and your plans - Financial protection built in - 24/7 support while you are away, so you are never on your own if something changesYour holiday should feel personal, considered and completely yours, not just another booking.

HiThank you for visiting my webpage.My name is Emma Fillingham, I live in Telford, Shropshire and I have more than 23 years experience in the Travel Industry having worked for some of the major high street tour operators. Working in a busy high street superstore meant I wasn't able to offer the level of customer service that I believe people deserve when booking something so precious to them, plus constantly being restricted to what holidays I could sell led me to make the move to Travel Counsellors where I now work as a self-employed independent travel advisor.Travel Counsellors have major contracts in place with almost every tour operator, airline, hotel chain and travel company in the world, so whether you are looking to organise the trip of a lifetime, a round the world cruise, a short city break or a family holiday on the beach somewhere hot, I can be your personal Travel Counsellor and take care of everything for you meaning sourcing all of the best options and allowing you to book the holiday that you want and not the holiday that somebody else wants you to take. Excellent customer service has been the secret to my success in the industry, as your travel arrangements mean as much to me as they do to you. I will go that extra mile to make sure we get it absolutely perfect for you.I have travelled all over the world during my career and have been as far as New Zealand, Thailand, the Caribbean, Mexico, Florida, Egypt, Turkey and many other European countries, not to mention city breaks, cruises, and even Lapland to see Santa himself! This of course means that I have gained a lot of first-hand experience and would love to share this knowledge with you in order to make sure you get the perfect break.I have witnessed the pitfalls of booking online through sporadic websites and there is nothing worse than getting to the airport with no flight seats booked, no transfer to the hotel, or even worse no reservation at all at the hotel. It happens all the time, but not with me, as I will personally confirm everything for you prior to your departure.Please feel free to contact me when it suits you best and let me do the work for you.For me, it’s personal!Emma

For the last twenty eight years I have worked in the film and TV industry organising production logistics and travel for high net worth individuals, producers, directors and actors. Having set up my travel concierge service at Travel Counsellors, I am now able to offer this service to more select individuals.Care, attention to detail and discretion are the cornerstones of what I do. I'm rarely shocked and love a challenge. So whether you need a flight for work, a hassle-free all-inclusive with the kids, or even a private jet and a house for 20 people in Mustique, I regularly book all of that and more. You are busy and stressed doing amazing things... Let me be uptight about the details so you can relax. Booking with Travel Counsellors brings multiple layers of financial protection via ATOL and the Travel Counsellors Trust. Travel Counsellors have 5* Trust Pilot reviews plus a game changing MyTC app allows you to view your quotes, pay for your trips securely and and then view all of your travel documents digitally. You have direct access to me at all times and I have access to a 24/7, 365 Duty Office for the rare occasion when something goes wrong. Between us we might just be able to make what seems impossible possible.If you would like a fresh perspective on your future travel, let's have a chat./.

I am your Personal Travel Agent who can make dashing around travel agents in your lunch hour or spending valuable time trawling the internet looking for the ideal holiday a thing of the past - you just call me, when it suits you, and we can discuss your holiday requirements. Booking your holiday should be the first part of a delightful experience, not a chore, and I am here to make that happen. Let me introduce myself, you’ll need to know who you’re talking to when you make that call! My name is DAWN KIRMAN and I have worked full-time in the travel industry since 1995; I became a Travel Counsellor in 2000 and, since then have become a Gold Travel Counsellor in the top percentage of agents selling over £1 million of travel a year.I have a large client base of leisure travellers and can arrange package holidays or make the perfect holiday tailored to your individual requirements. I am born and bred in Cleethorpes but it’s not the only beach I’ve been on so, if you want advice on different hotels and resorts, please ask ... I have travelled extensively visiting beaches in the summer, ski slopes in the winter, and various cities on weekend breaks; however if I’ve not visited the area you are interested in, I can contact one of our 1,250 Travel Counsellors and together we can benefit from their expert local knowledge.Please remember our Company motto “with us ... it’s personal”, this means that our relationship doesn’t finish when you receive your tickets. If you have any questions about your holiday, flights or accommodation, you simply need to pick up the phone and I can put any worries to rest.

I am delighted to be celebrating my 22nd year as a Travel Counsellor. I have worked as a travel agent for over 32 years and as you can imagine there has been a great deal of changes in the industry, the accessibility and how we book our travel has changed significantly. My customers rely on me for advice, a helping hand and to take the stress out of planning and managing their travel plans.Travel Counsellors is a large, professional organisation and whilst I run my own business offering my customers personal service, flexibility and competitive prices, I have the backing of being a part of the Travel Counsellors team. The technology we use is outstanding and the Travel Counsellors financial protection is the best under the sun! It goes without saying I have a passion for travel & love going on holiday. So far this year, Italy, Greece, Thailand, The Maldives & Florida are extremely popular destinations. Last year I went to Corfu for the 1st time (I am a big fan of Greece) & loved the island, short flight from the UK. I went back to Majorca, a personal favourite short break & our family summer holiday was in gorgeous Kalkan, ideal for teens. I am celebrating my 50th birthday this summer so need to plan something special, I would love to go to Croatia....The world is your oyster & we are so lucky to have Europe on our doorstep offering so many interesting destinations and lovely sunny relaxing resorts.I pride myself on offering the ultimate customer service and I look forward to hearing from you.

Hello and Thank you for visiting my website.My name is Carmel Curran and I live in Derry/Londonderry in NI. I am married to Mark and we have a lovely daughter Marissa.Before becoming a Travel Counsellor I worked in front-line banking for 32 years. However travel has always been my passion! For the last 40 years I have travelled the world, both as part of a couple and also as a family and becoming part of Travel Counsellors means I can bring my own personal experiences directly to my customers. My journey as a TC started in 2018 so I have been in place during the pandemic and now out the other side. This has given me a good perspective on how to make travel as safe as I can and this fits right in with Travel Counsellors ethos.As you would expect, I love to travel! I have visited most of mainland Europe and its islands, the Caribbean - Jamaica, Bahamas, Dominican Republic, Mexico as well as Egypt, Dubai and Sri Lanka. My personal favourite is South East Asia - Singapore, Bail, Cambodia, as well as lots of trips to Thailand and Malaysia. My new favourites are Hong Kong & Vietnam! I have visited New York on several occasions and I also love European city breaks. As well as personal travel, I have also made business travel arrangements.When I am travelling to any destination, I love the research, planning and booking almost as much as the travel and holiday - getting all the handy tips - its all part of the experience.I always pride myself on excellent customer service and this is what I will be bringing to you when you book any of your travel arrangements with me. Being a Travel Counsellor means I can offer independent advice on any aspect of your travel arrangements – flights, accommodation, transfers, car hire, excursions and travel insurance, as well as packaged holidays offered by all the leading travel tour operators. This means I can work directly with you to get a tailor made holiday that’s exactly right for you.So let me take the stress out of booking your next trip or holiday. I can be contacted by phone, email or Facebook. I can also arrange to meet you by appointment at a time and place that suits you. I look forward to hearing from you.

Thank you for taking the time to view my web page.My name is Ann and I am an independent travel agent based in Bury, Lancashire. I have been in the travel industry for over 30 years and joined Travel Counsellors in 2002. Prior to that I was a manager for two of the major high street agencies.My clients live all over the UK and I even have some clients who live overseas. I feel that the reason for my success is my passion for good old fashioned service, my personal experience of worldwide destinations and my independent advice.As a Travel Counsellor I use my personal expertise to tailor make exactly the right holiday to suit your needs. Rather than selling you a standard tour operator package, I can quickly search through hundreds of different flight, accommodation and transfer alternatives to find something that suits your needs exactly. Quite often this means I can build you a bespoke holiday at a cheaper price than the standard holiday package you might get elsewhere.One of my favourite destinations is the Caribbean and I have just been awarded the prestigious 'Platinum Agent' award from the Caribbean Tourism Organisation, which is the highest award they have. It is given in recognition of visits to the islands and completion of tasks and stringent questionnaires. I have also received many other industry accolades such as Cotac, City & Guilds, NVQs and destination awards such as ‘Aussie Specialist’ and many others. I feel that it is very important to keep in touch with all aspects of the industry through various on-line training systems.My business is based purely on providing my customers with the highest possible levels of personal service and I would be delighted to assist you with any of your holiday plans and dreams.I look forward to hearing from you soon.

I chose an exciting and interesting career 40 years ago. Originally I managed a couple of high street agencies before becoming a Travel Counsellor in 1996. Being a Travel Counsellor has enabled me to visit some fantastic places. It's amazing to be able to pass on this knowledge when helping others to book their ideal holiday. Be it for business or leisure I can suggest destinations and hotels to suit your budget. Working directly with hoteliers and tour companies around the world I can create bespoke itineraries suited to your needs. I love arranging something a little different 'off the peg' itineraries. I've had a flurry of bespoke safari holidays recently, all of which I am told were amazing! I've also had the pleasure of helping a few 'solo' travellers which is great. There are lots of people in the same situation. Why stay at home, just go and make new friends on holiday.I have travelled extensively around the Med, USA and Canada, to name a few. It was in Lake Tahoe that I first learned to ski, and have since been to Italy, Austria and more recently Canada, so if you like something a little more exhilarating I can offer first hand advice. These days my holidays are often spent in Kalkan. I love the laid back pace of life and the local people are wonderful.I've had the privilege over the last few years of arranging a number of weddings and honeymoons which have been a great success! A wonderful start to married life!I had lots of holidays before I had my children but I am blessed to have had some fantastic holidays with them too, they're just a lot different. Pleasing them makes the difference between a wonderful holiday and one you would rather forget! Time spent with our families and loved ones is precious. We work hard all year round and deserve the best holiday possible to look forward to.Being a Travel Counsellor for almost 30 years has given me the best balance between home life and work. We all go to work to provide ourselves and our families with a good standard of living, but I am fortunate to enjoy my job so much that I never get the Monday morning blues! I am always keen to talk about travel to anyone that will listen! I pride myself that my clients come back to me year after year and I love to hear from them when they return from their holidays to let me know what a wonderful time they've had. I am available throughout the day, most evenings and weekends, so whenever you are free to arrange your holiday, simply give me a call or send me an email so you can find out for yourself why I have such loyal clients who simply wouldn't make their travel arrangements with anyone else.I look forward to being of service to you and your family!

Welcome! Bienvenue! Willkommen!Living mainly in Surrey, I also spend time in Beaujolais (near Lyon) and adore the fact that both are in the beautiful countryside, yet within easy reach of wonderful cities.Travel has always been my passion. I started working in a major tour operator where, during 8 years, I learnt all about creating package holidays. Then I moved into the more demanding world of corporate events – constructing and delivering programmes on all continents with a much greater focus on outstanding service.Over the past three decades my work has earned several national and European industry awards, but more importantly, it has provided invaluable experience of the art of travel (whether by air, sea, rail or road) and knowledge of an amazing range of countries, destinations and cultures.With travel, the key is not learning how to get it right, but how to avoid getting it wrong!The most rewarding aspect of my work has always been the reactions of participants after experiencing a programme that I helped to create.Now I want to deliver similar experiences for individuals who want to avoid the hassle of high street travel shops, or endless online searching with little advice on what may or may not suit. Our sophisticated IT systems give me access to the widest imaginable range of flights, hotels, transport and sightseeing options. I can, therefore, provide you with great value, coupled with truly impartial advice.The little touches make all the differencePackages can consist of so many features, and yet I know very well that small things add more pleasure and delight than the effort involved in arranging them.Of which happy memories are made….It doesn’t need to be a complicated itinerary or far-away destination. You may want a holiday in Europe, a wedding/honeymoon package, a family gathering or simply a short break. You’ll get 100% effort from me to tailor-make your arrangements – at no extra cost, with no stress or hassle. Plus everything I book is fully insured and financially protected (payments are held in separate trust accounts).Give me a call at any time, or drop me a message. You deserve the maximum value and enjoyment – I can help you get it.

I am Teresa Jones. I’m married with two grown up stepdaughters and 16 year old daughter. After living in London for twenty years I returned to my home county of Nottinghamshire where we now live a very different life in a small friendly village outside the pretty and historic minster town of Southwell.Before I became a Travel Counsellor, I spent twenty-five years in The City working in a demanding role for a global financial services company. Anyone who knows me will tell you that I have an absolute passion for travel. If I’m not actually travelling, I’m talking or reading about it, planning my next trip or advising friends and family with their own adventures. Being a Travel Counsellor and helping others realise their own travel dreams is my ultimate job.From my first ever overseas holiday to Malta aged ten and experiencing the azure waters of The Blue Grotto, eating fresh fish by the harbour and walking the hot and dusty streets of Valletta, I knew I was addicted to travel.Since then, through both work and personal life, I have been fortunate to visit over forty countries. From road trips through California drinking in the sights and the Pinot Noir, to snorkelling in the Maldives with the clownfish, to skiing corduroy slopes under vivid blue Alpen skies, to sunrise safaris spying lions in South Africa or gazing at Sydney Opera House; it would be impossible to choose a favourite. However, Bali and its charming people and Portugal and its vast expanses of golden beaches are both very dear to my heart.My whole career has been spent striving to exceed the expectations of highly demanding corporate clients. I’ve turned these skills to arranging bespoke travel experiences that perfectly match my clients’ requirements. I’m not tied to office hours so happy to speak at a time that suits you.So, whether it be long or short-haul luxury beach breaks; family getaways; exotic adventures; road trips; winter sports; honeymoons; cruises; exquisite city breaks or staycations; I’d be delighted to share my experiences with you to help you plan your next expedition be it near or far.So, what are you waiting for? Let’s go!“Travelling – it leaves you speechless, then it turns you into a storyteller.” Ibn Battuta

Hello and thank you for visiting my web page. Originally from London, I now live in Hertfordshire with my husband, teenage son, and energetic Labrador, Basil!I have been fortunate to have visited many amazing and varied destinations so I like to use my experience and contacts to help guide my clients. Whether you are seeking adventure, discovery, rejuvenation or simply somewhere special to relax with your family, I would love to help you create your own wonderful memories.Over my long and varied travel career I have seen many changes in the way that holidays are presented and bought. The internet may have enabled people to create their own trips, but the process is fraught at the best of times, and ultimately you travel without support. We have all had the irritation of unmanned email addresses and no contact numbers when seeking assistance from a human being. What might appear a modern convenience can all too easily become a frustrating experience and a false economy.We offer a personal service and take the time to find out what makes the perfect holiday for you and your family. I appreciate that all stages of the booking cycles are equally important, this means I’ll be with you every step of the way to ensure everything runs smoothly. Our 100% financial cover will give you complete peace of mind together with our round the clock 24/7 support team. Our incredible travel app will also keep you fully updated at all times both before and during your trip and together with my own support ensures you have a true travel concierge service from start to finish leaving you free to enjoy your holiday.I have access to an incredible range of quality suppliers worldwide, covering holidays as varied as safaris to ocean cruises, yoga retreats to adventurous hikes in the Himalayas, to say nothing of exclusive beach locations, our preferential rates allow me to tailor-make your perfect holiday providing superb value for money.It is clear that our planet is changing so now might be the time to make that bucket list trip happen. Each opportunity to travel is precious and I want to ensure you get the most out of every holiday.You will find me informed but informal and available at the times that suit you. Don’t forget: 'Travel is the only thing you can buy that makes you richer'

Hello there, and thanks for visiting!If this is your first experience of the Travel Counsellors site, you are very welcome! I am your first port of call for all things holiday and travel related. I am well into my 15th year at Travel Counsellors , and my second year as a Gold Travel Counsellor.We are a global network of dedicated travel professionals who specialize in providing personalized travel services tailored to your unique preferences and needs. With our commitment to delivering outstanding customer service, attention to detail, and insider knowledge, we are your trusted partners in creating unforgettable journeys.Now, more than ever, we are all looking for good value for money and flexibility when we purchase anything - holidays and travel being just one example. Whether you are looking for a luxury hotel in the Caribbean or Indian Ocean, through to a small boutique hotel in the Lake District, it’s important to know that you can rely on a professional agent to make the arrangements in an efficient, timely and easy manner.Covid-19 had a huge impact on the travel industry, but I am delighted to say that business has improved so much, that I have now qualified and recently re qualified as a Gold Travel Counsellor. This is certainly the pinnacle of my career to date, and is incredibly important to me as a business owner. "Gold" status is recognition for high sales over the last year, and is something that is not easy to achieve or maintain. I am so proud to be part of the Travel Counsellors family, and I am looking forward to continue to improve my business, and help more and more people experience a great holiday. Travel Counsellors has a thriving tour operating division, and we are negotiating new contracts with hoteliers, local ground handlers, airlines and many other businesses to bring you the best deals out there! From research we have done, its quite often better value to travel longhaul than short haul...so if you have always holidayed in Europe, it might be time to take a look at some alternatives!With over 32 years’ experience in the industry, 14 years of which I have been running my own business, I am expert in sourcing the right property at the right price for each and every person that contacts me. Booking a holiday, or corporate travel arrangements can be a big challenge. I am here to help you navigate through the minefield of deals, offers and other tempting titbits on offer. I provide a one stop, bespoke service to my clients at a time to suit them. As I work from home, I am not constrained by the normal 9 to 5 working day, meaning I am free to talk in the evenings, over the weekend, bank holidays - even Christmas Day! I am always a phone call or an email away. No more hanging around on hold for hours on end to a call centre.I aim to offer good service, attention to detail, value for money and assistance during the booking process, and all the way through the travel experience.So, if you are looking for a holiday, or need to arrange a corporate event or business trip, give me a call. I will respond in a timely, efficient manor, and you can rest assured that your booking is in safe hands.You are one step away from the perfect holiday. Your vacation is my vocation!
