The excitement of visiting a new destination has never diminished.I’ve been lucky enough to travel to over 50 countries across six continents. From horseback riding in Argentina, climbing Mount Kinabalu in Borneo, to hot air ballooning across the Serengeti. If you have that trip of a lifetime planned it’s likely that I’ve visited it!Each holiday I arrange is unique and tailored to your specific requirements. I really care about your holiday experience and find it’s the fine details that make a good holiday, a great one, creating the best memories.My expertise lies in long haul travel from honeymoons and anniversaries, to milestone birthday celebrations, however as a mum of three children ranging in age from 7 to 14 years, I recognise the importance of finding the right destination and balance, for the best family holidays, from long haul adventures to Europe’s best kept secrets.

Hi, I’m Julie, and I would love to be your travel counsellor!My passion for travel has been a significant part of my life since a young age, leading me to make the exciting decision to leave my corporate career after 33 years.

I’m Jenny from Boston Spa, West Yorkshire, and I can’t wait to help you plan your next adventure.I design authentic, tailor-made trips that reflect who you are and how you love to travel. Whether you’re after a weekend city break, an action-packed adventure, a luxury escape, or a bespoke multi-stop itinerary around the world, I focus on attention to detail and a truly personalised service; creating unique, memorable experiences just for you.Travel has always been a huge part of who I am. My passion for seeing the world started early. I still remember the excitement of my school trip to Russia! That sense of curiosity and adventure never left me and by my twenties I decided to take the plunge and backpack solo around the world for 16 incredible months. From bustling cities and remote mountain villages to quiet beaches where time seemed to stand still. Every moment taught me something new about cultures, people and myself. Those experiences changed the way I see travel. That it's not just about ticking off destinations but the stories you collect along the way, the people you meet, the food you try and the memories that say with you long after you've unpacked your bags. Now, as a mum of three, I've loved sharing that same spirit of adventure with my family with extended trips to Australia, New Zealand and South East Asia; creating memories that will last a lifetime. Seeing the world through their eyes has been magical and it's reminded me how travel can bring families closer together with the shared experience. Over the years, one thing I've discovered about myself is how much I enjoy the planning side of the trip. I love diving into the details, researching the best routes, finding those hidden gems and putting itineraries together that flow seamlessly. For me, half the joy is in making sure everything is thoughtfully organised so that when you travel, you can relax knowing that nothing has been left to chance. As your Travel Counsellor, my goal is to make your journey as effortless and inspiring as possible. I’ll take care of the details, so all you need to do is focus on making memories that will stay with you for years to come.

Thank you for taking the time to find out a bit more about me.I have been in the travel industry since I left school and have been an independent travel consultant with Travel Counsellors for over 20 years. I have always had a passion for travel and with the best technology and freedom of choice, I can give you the most professional, stress free, personal service to plan and book your travel arrangements. Let me shop around for you to find the most suitable solution for your holiday plans or celebration trip. Unlike many internet sites, everything I book for you is 100% financially protected - no ifs, no buts. From a no-frills flight to an around the world itinerary, you can have complete peace of mind knowing that your money is in safe hands. During the recent Covid crisis we were voted the best company for customer refunds not once, not twice, but three times, which is a very welcome accolade. It’s not what we wanted to be known for, but when things do go wrong, we have a great track record of customer care.I am a certified Canadian Specialist & Aussie Specialist which have to be renewed each year. I have attained specialist status for most of the Caribbean Islands and numerous others for destinations and cruise lines and I'm a Disney International Agent. I have arranged weddings and honeymoons in many countries of the world with the largest being 40+ people to the Caribbean. I’m always up for a tailor-made challenge and recently I seem to be doing lots of itineraries featuring rail journeys and self-drive too.I have been to a different country for every year of my life, have cruised many times and been on-board most of the UK's favourite cruise ships. We did our first European river cruise from Budapest to Regensburg a few years ago. We visited Canada, the USA and Alaska for an epic 6 week trip in 2019. I have attended the CLIA cruise conference in Southampton to check out the new innovations in the cruise industry and I've since added ship visits to P&O's Arvia, MSC's Virtuosa, Windstar's Legend, Azamara's Onward & Virgin's Valiant Lady. I will be sailing on Celebrity APEX this year to Scandinavia - our first cruise North!Since Covid came into our lives it has certainly clipped all of our wings, but it seems to have made most of my clients more determined than ever to make the time to get away. In 2022 my first overseas adventure was a tour to Jordan - which was great fun. I was invited on Celebrity Beyond for a trade promotional weekend not long after. Our first holiday in 2022 was an Azamara cruise around Croatia - a stunning destination and a chance to find out what happens now you can't dock ships over 25,000 tons in Venice! Our last major trip of 2022 was a last minute cruise around the Greek Islands on Windstar. We always wanted to take a trip on a masted ship and it was everything we hoped for and more. We also explored Athens for a few days before flying home which was easy to do and very interesting. In 2023 we added Seville, Haarlem (Netherlands) for Floriade, the USA, Mexico, Cornwall, Devon & Cyprus. In 2024 our biggest trip was a month spent travelling around California and Canada. The highlight was the Calgary Stampede which we followed with a leisurely self drive through the Rockies and a stop on the East in Montreal. Our first trip of the year this year was to Abu Dhabi and Thailand. For each personal & client booking I make I'm planting trees through Trees4Travel to help offsets the carbon emissions generated by our travels. So far I've planted nearly 1000 trees in Kenya & Mozambique. It's not a lot in the bigger scheme of things, but it's a start to making people more aware of what they can do to help regeneration & support local communities in developing countries.For an informal chat about your travel plans - at home or away - please call me and I look forward to speaking to you soon...

Hello, I’m Emma, thank you for visiting my web page. I am your local Travel Counsellor, based from my home in Eccleston, near Chorley, where I live with my husband and two children. Travel has been my passion, since I started working as a trainee in a high street travel agency, at the age of 17. I have been fortunate enough to have worked in travel for over 25 years and joined Travel Counsellors in 2017, having taken some time off to start a family. I make sure I find exactly the right holiday for my customers, and being an independent Travel Counsellor, means I can understand your needs and am able to make an unbiased recommendation, on the perfect holiday for you. Being a Travel Counsellor isn't just about being an experienced travel agent, but gives me the opportunity to use my expertise to tailor make bespoke holidays for my customers, backed by our own ATOL licence and full financial protection, no ifs or buts! I'm delighted to be a "Gold Travel Counsellor", which means I'm in the top 10% of Travel Counsellors worldwide. I am a cruise fanatic! I love ocean cruises with my family, cruising as much as possible, though surprisingly our first cruise was only in 2018! I'm proud to be a recommended agent partner of the cruise blogger EmmaCruises, who books with me too and recommends me to her followers! It's a real compliment to have cruise experts and bloggers booking with me and recommending the great service they receive! I'd love to try a River Cruise soon and I have Alaska high on my wish list too! I recently won the Travel Industry Awards by TTG's Cruise Travel Agent of the Year, 2024. I'm fortunate enough to have visited numerous destinations around the world, including the Caribbean, Europe, the Middle East and Indian Ocean. I'm a proud member of the Cruise Lines International Association and have trained extensively with numerous cruise lines to ensure that I can recommend the right cruise holiday to my customers. I love to understand what my customers really want from their holiday, be it on land or sea and I always strive to exceed expectations. I treat every holiday as if it were my own, and want to ensure that every customer has a wonderful time, each time they travel.As I work from home I can help arrange your holiday at a time that suits you, often out of office hours and also at weekends, this flexibility means that I can understand and find exactly what you are looking for, at your convenience. I love my job and I am looking forward to helping you plan your next trip very soon.“Explore. Dream. Discover” – Mark Twain

Hello, my name is Susan and I am a Travel Counsellor based in the Northeast of England. After a spell in London of ten years I returned to the Northeast to re-connect with my Geordie roots.Before becoming a Travel Counsellor in 2015, I have worked within the travel industry for twenty two years.

I absolutely pride myself on my dedication to create the perfect holiday/trip for all of my clients, whether they need to travel on Business or they are requiring a complete get away from it all. No matter which area of travel I have worked in I have created long lasting and personal relationships along the way.Travel is my ultimate passion!

I will always remember what that dream holiday means to you or how important it is that you arrive on time for your business meeting. Wellbeing is also my other passion, could it be that you are now looking for something more than a holiday and you need “a life changing experience” this is where I can offer advice and create the right holiday for you. During my years in travel I have been extremely fortunate and have travelled extensively worldwide however The Far East has a truly special place in my heart, in particular India, Thailand and Vietnam. There is something for everyone in all of these destinations from beach holidays in Goa to the birthplace of yoga or the hustle and bustle of Bangkok to the laid back lifestyle on the islands.

Hi. I'm Joel. I have one ambition: Holidays don't have to be dreams, they can be a reality. My experiences began early. My mother was a travel agent for both business and leisure, before deciding to create her own travel business in the 1980s. So you could say, I grew up in travel and that travel is in my DNA.Though I did veer off and did a degree in Law with the Open University, this was a great experience and one which has guided me well in the legalities of the package travel regulations. I decided travel is where I want to be, and have over the last 20+ years worked for my many business and leisure travel operators and you could say I'm now carrying on in my mother's footsteps. Travel has so many benefits. I'm proof of that, and have been lucky to see so many countries, cultures, resorts and… experiences.After more than twenty years in the industry, I've decided to branch out and become an independent travel expert with Travel Counsellors and put the knowledge I have to use with helping build memories for all my clients.?So if you are looking for a holiday dream, then allow me as your Travel Counsellor to make these into a reality.Thanks-Joel

Travel is my passion. If you are here because you are looking for help with a holiday, you have come to the right place! My love for exploring the big wide world and discovering different cultures was sparked at a very young age when travelling with my parents. Roll on 30 years and my husband and (now teenage) children will tell you that no holiday of ours is ever the same – they don’t get to stay in one place for long and there are always a few excursions and adventures thrown in for good measure! The world is a big place to explore and the bucket list never stops growing ….With 30 years of travel industry experience behind me in both leisure and corporate business travel covering a variety of skills and roles, making the decision to create and build my own business with the backing of the well respected and established ‘Travel Counsellors’ has been the highlight and best decision of my career.I enjoy nothing more than really getting to know my clients and digging deep to understand their desires so I can bring their dreams to life. The service I provide is truly personal, friendly, caring and comprehensive and this is what I am proud to boast sets my business apart from other holiday booking companies and platforms, particularly the internet! After all, who wants to be treated as just a number/transaction!?To get the very best out of your holiday, I believe every trip should always be approached with careful thought and guidance as well as in depth research along with thorough comprehensive planning – it should never be anything less that just perfect! After all, whatever dream and whichever continent you are searching for, be it the exhilaration of conquering a piste in an Alpine Ski Resort, soaking up the dazzling lights and unbeatable vibe of N.Y.C, an adventure to the Masai Mara to experience the great migration from a Hot Air Balloon, watching the magic on your families faces as they meet Mickey Mouse and Co at Disney, indulging the Eastern Charm of Dubai, exploring the mysterious Mayan underworld in Central America followed by a dive into the 2nd largest Barrier Reef in the world in Belize, or perhaps a restful retreat to a luxury beach resort to simply lay back with a cocktail and soak up the sun or maybe just snatching a few days R&R on a City Break – I will help you find the perfect destination. There is nothing too big or too small that I can’t help you with, and I will endeavour to create a holiday that delivers lasting lifelong memories you will cherish forever.Rest assured that with my industry expertise and my own extensive travel experiences and advice, I will be available at the end of the phone to discuss your desires and provide support and advice from the planning stage all the way through your trip to your arrival home along with the support of our 24/7 Duty Office should you need us when you are overseas.Additionally and most importantly, everything you book is 100% financially protected against supplier failure either by ATOL or the unique Travel Counsellors Trust, giving you absolute piece of mind.I look forward to speaking to you soon, Caroline.

In September I went to Qatar for the first time and it really was a fabulous experience There is so much to see and do and the prices at the moment are amazing compared to other countries in the UAE area. Please do get in touch if you would like to find out more! I finished the year sailing on the Danube with 18 clients on our Christmas markets river cruise. We visited Budapest, Vienna and Bratislava and everyone had a wonderful time. I am sailing on the Rhine next December to do the German Christmas markets, please get in touch if you are interested in joining me.Previous holiday highlights include an amazing three weeks in South Africa where we went shark diving, walked with penguins, washed down elephants, ate amazing food, and finished with a fabulous safari.

I loved my bucket list transatlantic cruise from Southampton to New York on Queen Mary 2 and would happily get back onboard tomorrow. I was also fortunate to visit Brazil, an amazing country that did not disappoint. Now having two young boys my holidays have changed slightly but we love experiencing new cultures and discovering new destinations. We are all hooked on cruising after doing our first as a family 9 years ago, even the fourteen and eleven-year-old members of my family! I have been on many different ships and love to talk and advice those who are new to cruise, and who have cruised before on the differences each cruise line/ship will give you. Not to mention the amazing adventures and itineraries available. My focus is to get you the right holiday totally tailored to your requirements.

Welcome to my personal webpage at Travel Counsellors. As a bit of background, I have been in the travel industry in various sectors for over 30 years, and have had my own business for over 18 years of that! Previous positions have included overseas sailing instructor, holiday rep, corporate/VIP flight attendant, cabin crew manager, cruise product manager as well as long-haul and cruise sales. All of which have given me a broad knowledge of travel as a whole.Having spent several of my childhood years in East Africa, I've had the travel bug from an early age, and have travelled extensively worldwide throughout my life. I've also been fortunate enough to live and work in Sweden, Bahrain and New Zealand.My specialist areas of expertise are cruising, Australia/New Zealand, Africa and tailor-made long-haul itineraries, as well as honeymoons. However, I am able to book all types of holiday arrangements worldwide. I am an accredited specialist for Australia, New Zealand, Canada, Tahiti, the Caribbean, Hong Kong, Malaysia, Singapore, Dubai, South Africa and Namibia, as endorsed by the relevant tourism authorities. I am also one of only a few Masters with CLIA (previously known as Association of Cruise Experts), and have this year won the CLIA Cruise Master award at the national Agent Achievement Awards. Previously I have been awarded "Cruise Expert of the Year" for UK & Ireland by a panel of leading industry executives, and been shortlisted for the Cruise Master award for the last 4 years! I have also been nominated for, and awarded, various other national cruise awards, including River Cruise Ambassador. As a cruise specialist I cruise every year and visit as many ships as possible to familiarise myself with the different products on offer - in the last few years I have either cruised with or visited ships belonging to all of the major cruise lines.Working from my office at home without the distractions and limitations of the high street, and the impersonality and noise of a call centre, I am available at a time that suits you. I offer exceptional customer service to ensure each and every trip exceeds your expectations. I will give a bespoke personal service when arranging your holiday requirements, whether it be a package or a detailed tailor-made itinerary.If you would like regular updates of my special offers, please do get in touch.I look forward to hearing from you and helping to plan your dream trip.

Hello and thank you for stopping by my page!I’m Anneliese and I’m based in Ifield, West Sussex – just a stone’s throw from Gatwick Airport. When I’m not planning holidays, I’m enjoying life at home with my husband. We regularly care for two much-loved dogs: a miniature dachshund called Dobby and Brandy, a black lab guide dog. We love getting outdoors together – exploring the beautiful West Sussex countryside or heading off on relaxing UK staycations.My professional background has mostly been spent working in aviation. I have over 13 years of experience working in the industry which I now bring to my role as a Travel Counsellor. Travel has always been a huge part of my life, and now I’m fortunate enough to help others plan unforgettable journeys of their own. You may be wondering what inspired me to leave aviation and become a Travel Counsellor? It’s simple – There’s something incredibly fulfilling about helping others turn their travel dreams into reality, whether it’s a once in a lifetime adventure or a well-earned break closer to home. Some personal highlights from my travel catalogue include the Caribbean. We have an ongoing love affair, and I have been lucky enough to visit 23 different islands and destinations in and bordering the Caribbean Sea. These experiences have given me in depth, first hand knowledge of both popular destinations and hidden gems. Whether you’re after a luxurious beach retreat, a family-friendly break, or something a little more off the beaten track, I’m here to create a holiday that suits you perfectly. My other passion is Disney. I can plan unforgettable Disney holidays – from magical park visits and stays at Disney Resorts to cruises with Disney Cruise Line. Whether you’re planning your very first Disney experience or returning for another dose of magic, I’ll sprinkle some pixie dust to help make it truly special. So why choose me to book your trip? I believe that travel should be exciting, personal, and stress-free. That’s why I take the time to really get to know you, so I can tailor every detail of your trip to suit your needs and preferences. From the initial ideas to the moment, you return home, I’ll be with you every step of the way. Wherever you’re dreaming of going next, I’d love to help you make it happen.

Hello, my name is Steven and thanks for visiting my homepage.I’m based in Douglas, Isle of Man. I have been involved in the travel industry for 30 years, operating across a wide scope of disciplines. From a very young age, travel has always been always been a source of excitement to me. This was precisely a result of my not having the opportunity to do so myself, but having to feed off the globetrotting stories of my neighbours and school friends! Since then my own travels have taken me far afield, across Europe, the Middle East, North and Southern Africa, the Caribbean and Australia. In addition to this I am a keen skier, and have extensive experience of the European scene.Over the years I have discovered that even the most seasoned and worldly travellers can still find the process of sourcing, evaluating and deciding on a holiday or trip, a considerably stressful one. While undoubtedly a positive breakthrough, the internet has become increasingly daunting for some. We are now bombarded with choice, but still left wondering if there's still somehow something magical out there that's hiding from us! Please don't put yourself through all that. Get in touch and we'll make it a pleasure.I'm looking forward to it!

Welcome to Travel Counsellors and thanks for visiting my page.I’m based in Tonbridge, Kent and I absolutely love travel, however, I can fully appreciate that booking your holiday can be time consuming, frustrating, stressful and the choice can be overwhelming; which is where I come in.My travel has taken me all over the world, with the most recent trip being a week in Sri Lanka. Last year I had a fabulous two-month tour of Japan, New Zealand and French Polynesia. Other favourite destinations in the last few years have been Antarctica (yes, it was amazing!), Costa Rica, Singapore and the Seychelles. I have had the privilege of spending a year in Australia and three months travelling in South America, visiting Argentina, Chile, Bolivia, Peru, Ecuador (including the Galapagos) and Colombia. I combined backpacking with five-star hotels, trekked to Machu Picchu and boated down the Amazon - incredible experiences that will stay with me forever. I try to learn a few words everywhere I go and love to experiment with the local food, although being vegetarian, that has sometimes been slightly disastrous (especially in Japan!)I put my knowledge and experience into planning your perfect trip – whether that’s a weekend away in the UK, to a week in the sun, to the trip of a lifetime; let me take care of it to get it tailored just for you. I am an independent travel adviser and I want to get it right for each and every one of my clients, so there’s no hard sell.As well as benefitting from my expertise, you can rest assured in the knowledge that your booking will have full financial protection of Travel Counsellor’s unique Financial Trust, as well as being ATOL protected. Our 24/7 Duty Office ensures that whatever happens, you have immediate access to help and support, wherever and whenever you are.I don’t want you to come back from a holiday that I have helped with thinking ‘that was OK’ - I want to exceed expectations wherever possible and give you the fantastic time away that you deserve.

Rest assured, I will treat your enquiry just as if it were my own.I look forward to helping you make your travel dreams come true!

After being out of the travel industry for a while, it is a pleasure to be back in the industry I started in and fell in love with, especially as an Independent Travel Counsellor.I studied travel & tourism at the Bournemouth & Poole college, where a achieved a Diploma. After leaving college I worked for an independent travel agent in my home town of Swansea, gaining 10 years’ experience. Over my time working as a travel agent I was fortunate to see some fantastic places like the Canneries, Balearics, Greece, France, Finland, Germany to name a few but my favourites being the Maldives, Sri Lanka and Seychelles.Although I have been out of the travel industry, the passion has never left me. My wife and I love going on city breaks, our favourites are New York and Reykjavik and for our summer holidays we love going to our family home on the Costa Blanca in Spain. We either fly out or we take the ferry and drive stopping off in places on the way down through France and Spain taking different routes each time.Being a Travel Counsellor gives me the flexibility to book your perfect holiday and give you the personal experience you won’t find with an online provider with full financial backing. Whatever your requirements weather it’ll be a London hotel or a Round the World trip I can organise it all, even visa’s and transfers.Other than travel I love my rugby, I have organised group bookings to the 6 nations games. I also booked my own tailor made trip to New Zealand for the 2011 rugby world cup and for the British & Irish Lions tour in 2017, I took my youngest son with me in 2017, he loved it.So stick a pin in a map, give me a call and see where I can take you. “I want to go to places I’ve never been before”

I’m Ian, a proud Yorkshireman, now living in Swinton, Manchester, where I’ve lived for many years, having made my life on this side of the Pennines. I’m married and have a grown- up daughter and son, who have been well educated in the “art” of travel, enjoying both diverse family holidays and independent travel throughout the World.Some of my fondest childhood memories are from my first family holidays, spent in Butlins resorts around the UK; however, when I was lucky enough to travel to Switzerland with my parents at a young age, I was hooked. I was determined to take my family abroad as soon as they were of an age to appreciate the many and various cultures around the world, with a view to expanding their horizons. My son is now living and working in Australia and my daughter has benefitted from two years in Camp America, as well as travelling in Australia which may indicate our aim has been achieved. Our family holidays have stretched across the globe, from Europe to USA to Asia, helping us appreciate multiple cultures and traditions, whilst having fun!My previous work has involved extensive travel, spending weeks at a time in Europe, India and the USA. As a dedicated performer in competitive brass bands since my teenage years, I have been fortunate to travel as part of a group to Australia, Japan, and Sierra Leone just to name a few memorable destinations. I currently play cornet with the Brighouse & Rastrick Brass Band, and look after all their travel arrangements in the UK and Europe, regularly handling bookings for in excess of 30 people.Why is travel so important? …….. where do I start? Experiencing new cultures and broadening your perspective, de-stressing, recharging your battery ready to re-energise for life back home and most importantly…creating unforgettable memories. “I haven’t been everywhere but it’s on my list” Susan Sontag (Shutterfly). It’s now time for me to pass that travel ‘bug’ on to others, to inspire them, and help them take that first step out of their front door. My responsibility as a Travel Counsellor is creating a stress-free, tailor-made package giving that all-too precious commodity of time back to you. I will ensure your travel booking, whether for business, leisure, individual or group, is 100% ready and waiting for you. Creating the travel itinerary based on your individual requirements, and search for the added value you may not have time to find. In addition, you can relax knowing that every booking through Travel Counsellors is fully protected by either our own unique Financial Trust, or ATOL. It really is the best financial protection in the industry, giving you total peace of mind that your money is 100% safe.We all need holidays. Happy memories are like money in the bank, and creating them is an investment in a happy and healthy life; allow me to help you on the way to forging these. Feel free to contact me either by phone or email, so we can start the conversation and design the holiday you require. Enhance your life and embrace the memory making journey!

Travels further afield have taken me to many amazing locations, some personal favourites being Australia including Sydney and the Great Barrier Reef, Dubai, the Far East including Thailand and China and the Caribbean including Mexico. I am also a huge Disney fan and have visited Disneyworld in Florida several times as well as Disneyland Paris, closer to home.As a Travel Counsellor I can offer you independent advice and use my own travel experience together with a wealth of product choice to make sure I find the holiday that is right for you.

Hello and thank you for visiting my web page.My name is Mandy, your personal Travel Counsellor in Mansfield, Nottinghamshire, Bolsover and the surrounding area. I may be familiar to you as I have worked as a travel agent in the main two high street agencies in Sutton, Mansfield and Chesterfield over many years since 2001 However, in 2012 I decided that the high street was no longer for me and I discovered a much better way to offer my clients the service and time that they deserve. This was when I discovered Travel Counsellors, which has led to my "clients" now becoming my friends. Being a Travel Counsellor has given me the chance to get to know you personally to tailor make your perfect holiday, because after all, we all have unique wants and needs from our travel.Working from home I am available at times that suit you to provide a personal and bespoke service throughout.Travel is a major part of my life, myself and my husband Paul love to travel ourselves. We began our married life by tying the knot in Cyprus and since then we have been lucky enough to visit many countries: Kenya, India, Mexico, Israel, Egypt, Austria, America, Thailand, Greece, Spain, to name just a few! We also enjoy cruising. There are so many places still on our bucket list, one of them is Lapland with our grandchildren.Thank you for taking the time to learn a little about me, I really hope that you will get in touch so that I can get to know you and learn about your holiday dreams.Whether it is a break in the UK, a tour around the States, a cruise, or maybe you are planning your wedding abroad, wherever you want to go, with access to hundreds of suppliers you can be sure that I can get you there. Together with a 100% customer satisfaction score - and 100% financial protection - you can rest assured that you are in the safest of hands.So please do get in touch so that we can start our journey and turn those dreams into a perfect reality.

Working in travel since 1993, I bring more than 30 years of experience to every holiday I create. For over 25 of those years I have focused on leisure travel, designing everything from relaxed beach escapes and family adventures to complex, once-in-a-lifetime itineraries. I like to say I am a bit of a jack of all trades when it comes to destinations, which means my clients benefit from a broad perspective as well as deep, first-hand knowledge.I launched my Travel Counsellors business in February 2020 and today it delivers an annual turnover of more than £2 million. Corporate travel is my main area of focus, but as our business has grown, so too has our leisure offering. With our expanding team, we now have dedicated colleagues who support my leisure clients, as well as continuing to look after the travel needs of our corporate travellers and their families.Within the team we have specialists across the globe: from South Africa and the wider African continent to the Caribbean, the USA and South America, Asia and Australasia. We also have expertise across a wide range of holiday types, including ski, golf, safari, beach, luxury and premium escapes. So whether you are dreaming of a Maldivian overwater villa, a family ski trip, a self-drive through South Africa or a luxury Caribbean cruise, there will be someone in the team who knows it inside out.What originally inspired me to become a Travel Counsellor was the opportunity to build genuine relationships with my clients. By taking the time to really get to know you, I can understand what truly matters: the kind of hotels you love, how you like to travel, and the little details that make a big difference. That might be arranging a particular room type with a sunset view, planning a surprise for a special celebration, or recommending a seafront restaurant where I know from experience they serve an exceptional steak. These personal touches are simply not something an online booking website can offer.I pride myself on providing a high-touch, friendly and very personal service, handling every stage of your trip from the first idea to your return home. You will have one point of contact who knows you and your preferences, backed up by my growing team and a 24-hour UK-based duty office for those times when I am unavailable or when you need support while you are away.Travel Counsellors as a business has been recognised many times for the way we look after our customers. We are Queens Award winners for Enterprise for the third time, finalists for Luxury Homeworking Business of the Year, and were voted the best travel firm for looking after their customers during the COVID-19 pandemic by readers of MoneySavingExpert. Our strapline is “With us… it’s personal” and I am proud to live that every day, whether I am arranging a complex corporate itinerary or a much-needed family holiday.If you would like some holiday inspiration, access to the best options without the stress of searching, or simply honest advice on where to go next, I would be delighted to help you plan your perfect trip.
