My name is Elizabeth Shiel and I am an independent travel agent in Rotherham. I have been in the travel industry for 39 years. I joined Travel Counsellors in 2004 and before that I was a Senior Travel Consultant in a high street agency. I joined Travel Counsellors because I wanted to concentrate on offering my customers the highest possible levels of personal service and independent travel advice. I have many repeat clients who have booked with me for the past 39 years and have been extremely satisfied with my service and have referred me to their Family and Friends.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 flights, 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.Travel Counsellors recognises that not everyone is free to discuss their travel arrangements during the working week. My company’s award winning technology enables me to work from home and means you can contact me at times when most other travel agents are unavailable, including evenings and weekends.With my wealth of knowledge and the holidays and cruises I have been on over the years I am sure I will be able to assist you in booking your perfect holiday. Furthermore 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.

I would like to welcome you to my page and introduce myself to you. My name is Jodie Rainton, married to Danny and we have 2 gorgeous children. I have had a passion for travel since I was a very young girl when I was lucky enough to sit with my parents whilst they booked our annual family holiday. I decided at that very young age the travel industry was what I was destined to go into. On leaving school I applied to all the local travel agents for a job and was lucky enough to be offered a position as a modern apprentice in a local high street store. I worked very hard in this role and I was offered a fulltime position as a travel advisor and have had a very successful career in the travel industry for over 18 years. I have always been an ‘A’ performer and very proud of my achievements. My passion and attention to detail when organising my own holiday is exceptional, and I would treat any customer enquiry with the same approach and enthusiasm. In the 18 years I have worked in the industry I have been privileged to travel to many foreign places, these include New York, Las Vegas, Florida, Cruises, Ski Holidays and many European countries, so I am confident my experience and product knowledge will assist you well when you are looking for you chosen destination. I can tailor-make your dream holiday, whether it’s a short UK break or a Worldwide holiday of a lifetime. I offer a personal service and can be available at a time to suit you, whether it is an evening appointment or a weekend, we are not set to shop hours so this flexibility is also an advantage. We cover all our holidays with the best financial protection in the industry to give you the comfort of knowing your booking is in safe hands. It will be an honour to look after you and all your travel requirements from your enquiry through to your return to the UK. I look forward to helping with your future holiday requests.

Discover the World with SanyulaHello, I’m Sanyula, and I’ve spent over 30 years creating unforgettable travel experiences for clients around the world.My love for travel began early — as the daughter of a Tanzanian diplomat, I grew up exploring the world from London to East Africa. What started as a chance job selling safaris in Tanzania turned into a lifelong passion after witnessing the magic of the Serengeti at sunrise.Since then, I’ve travelled far and wide — from drifting through Vietnam’s Halong Bay to watching dawn break over Angkor Wat, from the rainforests of Kuching to the luxury of Mauritius. These experiences have shaped how I craft holidays: personal, seamless, and truly extraordinary.As a Travel Counsellor, I’m here to design journeys that are completely tailored to you — whether that’s an African safari, an island escape, city break, cruise or a cultural adventure across continents. From the first conversation to your return home, I’m with you every step of the way, ensuring every detail exceeds expectations.Let’s start planning your next adventure together.

Hello, I am Claire, and I am here to turn your travel ideas into beautifully planned, memorable journeys.Whether you are dreaming of a once‑in‑a‑lifetime adventure or a well‑earned weekend escape, I take care of every detail so your holiday feels seamless, special, and completely tailored to you.My love for travel really took off 18 years ago when my husband and I tied the knot on the beautiful Caribbean island of Antigua. We had never been before, so there was a leap of faith involved, but it turned out to be unforgettable for every one of our guests and us. If you have not experienced it yet, it is one I would definitely add to your list.Since then, we have been fortunate enough to travel far and wide: from cruising the Caribbean by catamaran and road‑tripping in a Winnebago from San Francisco to Las Vegas, to luxury train travel and safari in South Africa. We have snorkelled with manta rays in the Maldives and explored the many sides of Australia. We live by one simple rule: never come back from one holiday without having another one booked.With a strong background in customer service, I am passionate about really getting to know you, understanding your travel style and what matters most, then using that insight to design trips that feel just right. I am here to remove the stress, add the sparkle, and think of the little touches you might not have considered.When you book with me, you are not just getting a travel agent. You are gaining a personal travel expert who will be there from our very first conversation to the moment you return home, with support, recommendations, and the reassurance that everything has been taken care of.Whether you are picturing a cosy UK mini‑break, a Mediterranean beach escape, or a far‑flung journey of a lifetime, I would love to help you make it happen.“The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step” – let us take that step together.

I’m Michelle, and I work with clients who value their time and appreciate thoughtful travel planning.Based near Colchester in Essex, I work with busy professionals and families across the UK and beyond who want their holidays carefully planned, seamlessly managed, and handled with care.Now in my fourth year of running my own business in partnership with Travel Counsellors, I combine highly personal service with the strength of a multi award-winning travel company — offering 100% financial protection, ATOL cover, and 24/7 global support wherever you are in the world.But what truly sets my service apart isn’t just protection — it’s precision.My clients don’t come to me simply to book a holiday. They come to me to have it properly planned and managed from the very beginning.Some are ticking off a long-held dream — the once-in-a-lifetime safari, the overwater villa, the milestone trip they’ve talked about for years.Others want complete escape — effortless care, beautiful surroundings, and the ability to switch off knowing everything has been arranged before they arrive.Some are drawn to depth and authenticity — boutique hotels, hidden gems, meaningful experiences beyond the obvious.And for many families, it’s about something even more important: time together and making memories.I take time to get to know you — how you like to travel, the pace you enjoy, and the details that elevate a trip from good to exceptional. I carefully plan each element: the right routing, the right room type, seamless transfers, and special requests handled in advance — all considered before you even pack your suitcase.If your priority is simply the lowest online price, there are many ways to book. If your priority is having everything carefully planned, protected, and managed seamlessly — that’s exactly what I do.Because holidays aren’t just trips. They’re the most important weeks of your year — and they deserve to be handled with care

Hello and welcome, I’m Gaynor, your local Travel Counsellor based in Urmston, Manchester.I started my travel career in 1993 as a trainee with Hogg Robinson Travel and I have been hooked on creating holidays ever since. Today I am a self‑employed Personal Travel Expert and I am proud to be celebrating over 12 years of running my own independent franchise with Travel Counsellors and more than 30 years in the travel industry.During this time I have helped hundreds of customers plan everything from short UK breaks and European getaways to multi‑centre long‑haul adventures and once‑in‑a‑lifetime trips. No itinerary is too big or too small, and every holiday is designed completely around you.I have particular expertise in tailor‑made, multi‑centre itineraries across Japan, Australia and the Far East, as well as cruise holidays. Whether it is combining Tokyo with Kyoto and a stay in a traditional ryokan, creating an Australia adventure that links city, reef and outback, building a Far East journey that might include Singapore, Thailand, Vietnam or beyond, or finding the right cruise line and itinerary for your style of travel, I love piecing together complex trips so that every step flows smoothly.Alongside my own experience, I am supported by a small team of trusted experts who work closely with me and specialise in destinations such as the USA, Africa/ Safari, and Ski. This means that whatever you are dreaming of, we can draw on in‑depth, first‑hand knowledge to create the right holiday for you.I am honoured to have been awarded Gold Travel Counsellor status, an accolade held by only a small number of colleagues in recognition of their sales success.

I live in Innellan, Argyll, with my wife, 13 year old son, 2 cats and 2 gerbils, but hail from the Isle of Jura in the Inner Hebrides.I first found my love for travel when I was 20 years old and spent 6 months in New Zealand on a study tour as part of my college course. I got the bug! I then went on to travel around Australia and New Zealand again, with visits to the Cook Islands, Fiji, Hong Kong, and Singapore thrown in. After I met my wife, we set off on an almost 2 year adventure travelling extensively throughout America and Canada before ending up in New Zealand and returning home via Thailand. We also attended a wedding on the west coast of Mexico which was an amazing holiday and we did a transatlantic cruise for my 40th birthday. For my wife's 40th we had an incredible holiday based in Mombassa, Kenya, with a 4 day safari included. Latterly it's been more about family holidays. Visiting Florida, touring British Columbia in Canada by campervan, taking several cruises (Caribbean and Mediterranean) plus of course lots of beach holidays in the Canary Islands and Med. Recently, I decided it was time for a career change and to bring some of my passion for travelling to Travel Counsellors.So why book with me? Here at Travel Counsellors we care more than anyone else.

I specialise in getting to know and understanding exactly what my clients want, so I can then provide a great and memorable holiday experience. Many of my clients have returned year after year, trusting me to craft their perfect holiday. Some want to relax and take time out to recharge, whilst others want to push their limits and seek out that next challenge or bucket list adventure, and anything else in between.I've been passionate about travel since the age of 17, when I first stepped into the world of tourism, discovering a love for helping others plan their dream getaways. This early passion grew into a career that has spanned over fifteen years, during which I managed and worked for various high street travel agencies with multi-million-pound turnovers. My own travel experiences have greatly enriched my understanding of what makes a trip truly special. I’ve explored everything from the pristine beaches of the Caribbean to the lush landscapes of Hawaii. Now, I’m preparing for an adventure of a lifetime – climbing Mount Kilimanjaro, followed by a safari through the stunning landscapes of Tanzania, Africa. This journey is just the latest in a long line of adventures that have fuelled my love for discovering new places and cultures.Several years ago, I had the incredible opportunity to take a sabbatical and spend just under a year traveling with my husband and two children, visiting over 15 countries. We spent a month soaking in the rich culture and natural beauty of Sri Lanka before moving on to explore Southeast Asia, including Singapore, Cambodia ,Vietnam and Indonesia. After Australia, we then embarked on a three-month road trip across New Zealand in a camper van, which remains one of the most memorable experiences of my life. Our journey back home took us two months through the paradise islands of Fiji and then onto the vibrant streets of Japan in blossom season.With a wealth of personal travel experiences and professional expertise, I am passionate about sharing my knowledge and helping others embark on their own unique adventures. Whether you're dreaming of a luxury escape, planning a honeymoon or a special occasion , maybe a holiday on the slopes or a budget-friendly getaway, I'm here to take care of all aspects of your travel, from offering impartial advice & ideas to taking care of the whole booking process from start to finish. A huge benefit of me being your own personal travel counsellor, is that it allows me to offer you a personal bespoke service when it’s convenient for you, whether that be in the evenings or at the weekends, life is so busy ! But at the same time still having that 100% financial & ATOL protection from Travel Counsellors, giving you complete peace of mind.So if you are looking for a real person you can talk to who has the time to understand what you are looking for, taking away all the hassle and wasted hours trawling through frustrating websites & trying to get through to call centres, but still delivers with the guarantee of a trusted award winning company, then please contact me.

After being in the travel industry for over 30 years, I still get excited when I get a bespoke itinerary to quote on to a new or exotic destination. I started my travel career in corporate travel but soon realised after doing a few holidays for my clients that I loved leisure travel. Over the past twenty years, I have pieced together some amazing trips for customers, from trips on a dogsled to meet Father Christmas in his log cabin under the Northern Lights, Hiking to glaciers in Patagonia's Torres del Paine national park, dream honeymoons on the Eastern & Oriental Express and of course magical Safari's under the African sky to name a few. Having lived in South Africa for more than 20 years, I have been very fortunate to travel to many places in Africa as well as the Indian Ocean Islands, Madagascar, Seychelles and Mauritius and the Maldives.My ability to go the extra mile and pay attention to the detail is what matters most to me and my happiness rests in the knowledge that I have made every available effort to get to know your expectations, personal likes and dislikes as well as your budget. I have access to multiple suppliers to package anything from a weekend away to a round the world trip and with your own TC App, I will be with you all the way.Post Covid, it has become essential to have someone by your side 24/7 to ensure that all bases are covered. Having the assurance of someone that cares about you will give you peace of mind throughout every step of your journey. I look forward to getting to know you and turning your dreams into reality.Sarah x

A regular and enjoyable feature of my life has always been helping friends and family organise their travel, and now I am building a travel business doing the very thing that I am passionate about, travelling.I chose to join Travel Counsellors because of their ethos of personal service and the genuine care that is taken in arranging all aspects of our clients individual travel arrangements.

Hello and welcome to my web page, my name is Debbie and I am a Travel Counsellor based in Glossop.I understand that between working hard, having a busy home life and less and less free time it can be a hassle trying to arrange a well-deserved break by using a high street travel agency. Parking problems, a busy office with long queues and an impersonal service make what should be the start of a fantastic trip, a generally disappointing experience.Well, you don't have to be disappointed anymore! I delight in making holiday dreams come true and making the whole process from start to finish as relaxing and enjoyable as possible. I have over eight years’ experience in travel and customer services, having arranged holidays to many wonderful destinations around the world. As I love to travel myself and have experienced some of my own dream holidays, I look forward to arranging yours.Whether it's a city break, family holiday, cruise, honeymoon or business trip, whatever your requirements I will do my best to exceed your expectations and provide great customer service, while fulfilling your holiday requirements even before you leave home.We now have a unique system in place which no other travel agency/tour operator has access to, which enables us to book flights, accommodation and transfers separately. This, more than often beats standard tour operator packages.I look forward to hearing from you and being your personal Travel Counsellor so give me a call or send me an email, anytime.

Hei, Thanks for taking time out to let me outline my and my partner's experience.I learnt my trade working for and with, amongst others, Colin Murison Small who more or less invented the alpine ski 'chalet girl’, Colin Trigger a one time Chairman of ABTA & ATOL, and the legendary Vladimir Raitz who held the country’s first ATOL when in 1949 he sent 21 people to Corsica for £35 a head!! I’ve watched the sun rise over Table Mountain, sink beneath the horizon in the Aegean and stay above it all night in the Svalbard Archipelago. I’ve slept in a mountain hut on the edge of an Icelandic glacier and a staffed villa on a coconut plantation in the Dominican Republic. I've organised family holidays, culture tours, a product launch on an Icelandic glacier, weddings in the sun and snow, sales incentive meetings and more. My partner Anna ( Hyndman Lahna) spent 3 decades working in tour operation, retail travel, repatriation and for Singapore Airlines & South African Airways. What she doesn’t know about airline ticketing isn’t worth knowing. She has equally eclectic experiences to mine having white water rafted on the Zambezi River, trekked by camel across the Gobi desert, flip flopped over the Piranha River Bridge into Paraguay, and trained elves for Father Christmas in Lapland.Together we fuse our collective experience (and experiences) with Travel Counsellors' state of the art technology to plan, polish and perfect your holiday the way you want it to be.

Since then, I have travelled the world for work, sport and pleasure – from backpacking around the world during my University gap year, to competing internationally for the GB Team in water-skiing and wakeboarding, to living and working in Dubai and the Middle East, to luxury resort holidays in long-haul destinations such as Bora Bora, Hawaii and Mauritius. I have personally travelled to 43 countries so far, and in 2023 I will be adding the Maldives and Croatia to my tally.I can assist you with door to door travel arrangements – from your flights, transfers, and accommodations, to detailed multi-stop itineraries, cruises, day tours, car hire, golf tee times, ski lessons and many other special requests. Meanwhile, you can sit back and relax and think about what to pack in your suitcase. (I have some helpful hints for packing too!)Throughout my previous careers I have worked in Brand management and International events. I bring with me an attention to detail and a love of planning and creating the WOW factor to a given budget. I am available beyond standard office hours at a time to suit you, so please call or email me at anytime. Thank you for taking the time to visit my page and I look forward to organising your dream trip soon!Emma

Hi, I’m Becky, your personal Travel Counsellor.I’m based in Walkern, Hertfordshire, where I live with my husband, daughter and our dog. Travel and fitness are my biggest passions, and I love nothing more than combining the two: think sunrise hikes, mountain summits, and active adventures balanced with a touch of luxury and relaxation.I also love a challenge, especially when it means raising money for causes close to my heart. In September 2025 I completed a summit of Mount Toubkal in Morocco in support of Reuben’s Retreat, and this year I have signed up for a midnight marathon in April to raise funds for our local hospice in Letchworth. These experiences reflect how I travel too: with purpose, determination and a big dose of heart.Recent travels have taken me from husky sledding through snowy forests in Finland and exploring the cities of Sweden and Paris, to soaking up the sun in Turkey, Ibiza and Crete, and setting sail on a Disney cruise to Belgium. I’ve also hosted a group trip to Morocco, hiked the breathtaking High Atlas Mountains, and summited Mount Toubkal, the highest peak in North Africa. It was such a highlight that I am planning to host another group trip there again. Closer to home, I have enjoyed time in Ireland, Dubai, the Lake District, Norfolk and cruising on Independence of the Seas.As you can probably tell, I truly live and breathe travel, and I bring that same energy, care and curiosity to every itinerary I design.I am passionate about creating all styles of holidays: • Relaxing beach escapes where you can fully switch off • Luxury, long-haul adventures and tailor-made itineraries • Family and multi-generational trips that keep everyone happy • Ocean and family cruises with plenty of built-in fun • Culturally rich journeys that go beyond the typical tourist trailBecause I run my own travel business from home, I am fully flexible and work around you.

Welcome to my page. Let me tell you a little bit about me...As a Travel Counsellor I'm passionate about travel, and working hand in hand with my clients I can tailor the perfect holiday around you – whether it be a family holiday, a bucket list trip of a lifetime wedding abroad, city break, or even a UK staycation. I just love anything out of the ordinary, and will always take on a challenge. I can also book packages with the major tour operator brands such as Jet 2. I've worked in the travel industry for over 20 years ago, starting with Thomson Holidays (now Tui) and then the good old days of teletext holidays …how things have changed! I spent 15 years as an event and wedding planner working at some of the most prestigious hotels and venues, including Weston Park in Shropshire. I have arranged over 1000 weddings and lost count of the number of private parties, corporate events and activity days. I returned to travel in 2012 specialising in weddings abroad and luxury travel, and then started my travel business with Travel Counsellors at the end of 2019. There were so many reasons why I chose Travel Counsellors as my business partner. Spanning over 25 years they are a multi-award winning company with offices worldwide and support which is second to none. Their ‘with us it's personal‘ promise struck a chord with me too. My clients are my business and I treat every booking or enquiry as if it were my own. I look after your booking right to the very end. If you need to make a change to your itinerary, or add on excursions whilst you are on holiday, I can do that for you - a true travel concierge service. I relax knowing that you have arrived safely at your destination, and then again when you arrive back home. I work from home so there are no call centres to deal with. This also means that I’m available to discuss your plans at a time to suit you including evenings and weekends. I’m based in Staffordshire but have clients all around the UK. If you are close by we can meet for a chat over a coffee or glass of fizz…and for those further away then calls, emails and face to face via zoom etc is just fine.... whatever works best for you! I have access to thousands of trusted travel providers at my fingertips and as a company we continue to increase the direct contracts we have with hotels and specialist suppliers around the world. This means that I can personally tailor your plans knowing that I am working directly with the local suppliers, and ensuring that I'm securing the most competitive rates for you. Travel Counsellors offer the best financial protection in the industry and whilst you are on holiday we also have a 24 hours Duty Office to assist with difficulties out of hours, so you are always in contact with a person. For piece of mind your holiday is also fully protected financially through ATOL. So now you know who I am, I look forward to hearing from you and sending you off on your next adventure....wherever it may be

I have always loved travelling; the opportunity to visit exciting countries and experience diverse cultures is surely one of life’s greatest luxuries. I have taken that passion for travel into my work as I love arranging holidays and booking trips for my clients. I offer a bespoke, personal service backed-up by years of experience in the travel industry. I have the instincts to recognise what clients want as well as the knowledge of how to find the best bookings for them. The Travel Counsellors network provides all the support necessary to make sure that through me you will receive the best possible care and the best possible deals.In my time I have been lucky enough to travel across almost every continent on the planet – Antarctica remains a goal for the future! My favourite part of the world remains the Far East; not least because it brings back happy memories from my honeymoon in Burma but also due to wonderful trips to Cambodia, Borneo and Thailand amongst others. The levels of service, care and attention to detail that you receive as a guest in the Far East always amazes me and always has me longing to go back.In addition to the Far East I have travelled through India, Australia and New Zealand, the Amazonian rain forest and the Masai Mara. The two most striking places that I have visited must be the awe-inspiring Angkor Wat in Cambodia and Utah’s Monument Valley – not least due to its complete contrast to nearby Las Vegas.It’s not just exotic holidays that I can help you with. I also have extensive knowledge of European destinations as well as within the British Isles and I am here to help you with every type of booking.Like you I expect the highest standards when I travel. As my client you can rest easy knowing that all your travel needs will be looked after to the highest possible degree throughout your booking and holiday experience.

Planning a holiday can feel overwhelming - from countless tabs and endless research to juggling family needs and finding the right experiences for everyone. That’s where I come in.I’m Rebecca - self-confessed travel addict and your personal guide to unforgettable holidays. Based in North London, I specialise in crafting tailor-made trips for families, professionals, and adventure seekers throughout the UK. I design holidays that are stress-free, seamless, and full of memories, ensuring every moment of your journey is perfectly planned for you. When you work with me, you’ll never have to worry about the details. I handle everything from researching destinations and finding the best flights, to booking accommodation, planning activities, and providing 24/7 support while you’re away.Travel has been my passion for as long as I can remember. As a child, I spent hours poring over holiday brochures, dreaming of faraway places and adventures. That curiosity never faded. Over the past two decades, I’ve explored 49 countries (and counting!), from bustling street food markets in Thailand and Vietnam, to tranquil beaches in Bali and Malaysia; from the cultural richness of India and Sri Lanka, to safaris across Southern Africa and the snow-dusted magic of Lapland. I’ve wandered through ancient cities in China, hiked dramatic landscapes in New Zealand, and gathered all the top tips you’ll need for Disney in Orlando and Paris. Each journey has deepened my understanding of what makes a holiday truly special, and what can make it stressful if not planned right.Whether it’s a luxury family escape, a small group adventure, a multi-generational trip, or a once-in-a-lifetime safari, I design holidays around your needs. I know first hand the joys and challenges of travelling with children. As a mum, I understand how family needs evolve - what works for toddlers won’t always suit teens, and different generations often have different ideas of fun. From flights that maximise sleep, to accommodation that keeps everyone comfortable, to activities that engage all ages, I make sure your trip works for every member of the family. My goal is simple: to create holidays that are as relaxing and joyful for parents as they are inspiring and exciting for children.My expertise doesn’t stop at family travel. For adventure travellers, I work closely with leading small group operators such as Intrepid Travel, G Adventures, and Exodus, with no extra cost to you when booking through me. If you prefer to set your own pace, I can tailor every detail to suit your interests and sense of adventure, from exploring hidden corners of Southeast Asia, to tracking wildlife on safari, or venturing off the beaten track in Australia or New Zealand.With 19+ years in the travel industry and nearly a decade as a Travel Counsellors, I am proud to be one of our Top 100 Gold Advisors. I combine personal insight with professional connections, giving my clients access to trusted partners, insider tips, and experiences you won’t find online. I guide you from the first spark of inspiration, right through booking, pre-travel prep, and 24/7 support while you’re away.I love what I do because it’s never just “a holiday.” It’s the laughter of a family reunited on a beach, the awe of a first safari sighting, the quiet joy of seeing your children experience a culture or adventure you’ve dreamed of for them. These moments are why I travel myself, why I keep learning, and why I’m passionate about sharing the world with my clients.So, if planning your next holiday feels overwhelming, let’s talk. I’ll listen, I’ll guide, and I’ll take care of the details so all you need to do is enjoy the journey. Call me on 0203 432 4720 or email rebecca.berzins@mytc.com and let’s start creating your next unforgettable adventure.

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

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.

Hello, my name is Laura and I am based in West Byfleet, Surrey.My passion for travel started back on 9th May 1995 (that’s right – I remember the exact date!) I was 11 years old and I went on my first long haul flight to Florida. I loved the whole experience. The bustle of the airport, the flight, arriving somewhere I’d never been before, the food and then of course, Disney – I loved it all. I’ll never forget that trip – and come the 9th May each year, I remember “what a holiday!” that was. Money well spent, hey!Fast forward (almost!!) 30 years! I now have 2 children of my own and there is nothing we enjoy more as a family than exploring our wonderful world together. My passion for both travel and customer service is second to none, and having been disappointed on occasions with the service I have received, I’ve thought “I can do this so much better”. So here I am, opening myself up to you as your own personal Travel Counsellor. With the support of the award winning Travel Counsellors brand behind me, I’ll take care of all the details, and you take care of the memories. All safe in the knowledge that everything you book with me is 100% financially protected against supplier failure by either ATOL or the Travel Counsellors Trust, giving you absolute peace of mind. I pride myself on offering a full and comprehensive service. From short to long haul; luxury to low cost; multi destinations to all-inclusive resorts; from sun to ski… and sea to sand! Drawing on my own experiences having travelled extensively around the USA, Europe, the Middle East, Asia, Australia and South Africa, I truly believe I can create the holiday of your dreams, whatever that might be.I like to think I have a ‘few’ specialist areas: • Japan. We lived in the heart of Tokyo with 2 small children who both attended the British School in Shibuya. This was a unique and incredible experience giving us the platform to explore this fascinating part of the world. • USA. From East to West coast; the Sunshine State of Florida to Music City in Nashville; to the lights and sounds of New York to Las Vegas; from Route 66 to Pacific Highway 1! • Disney. Having visited parks in Florida, Paris, and Tokyo, I know a ‘few’ things Disney! • Italy – extensively travelled from North to South. Skiing in the Alps, city breaks in Rome, Venice, Milan and Florence, to private villas in rural towns. • Australia – Perth and the wine region of Margaret River on the West coast… to travelling the East coast from Carins to The Great Barrier Reef; Byron Bay to Sydney. • South Africa - I’ve explored the Garden Route, from Table Mountain in Cape Town, the wine tours of Franschhoek and seeing the Big Five on safari. I truly love all things travel, and with me it really is personal. It's time to make your memories, so give me a call and let's get planning.

Hello, my name is Louise and I live in Swinton, Greater Manchester with my little girl. I started my career in travel 19 years ago, after leaving school and worked my way up quickly from YTS to branch manager of a high street shop.

I offer a professional, friendly and efficient service and coupled with the award winning technology provided by head office it really is a winning combination. I decided to join Travel Counsellors as I have built up fabulous relationships with my clients having looked after many of them for 15 years plus.

As most people in travel will say, travel is a "real" passion of mine, when I'm not actually on holiday, experiencing all the sights, sounds and new and exciting food, I'm either thinking about my next holiday, planning my next holiday, or cajoling my hubby into choosing one with me! The next best thing to that though is providing my customers with the holiday of their dreams. There is nothing better than tailoring a holiday for someone who has been dreaming about their once in a lifetime experience, talking and walking them through it, so I get it just right, meticulously planning every detail for them, even things they've not thought of themselves, so it's trouble free and creating lifelong memories. As your very own personal Travel Counsellor, I listen to everything you want from your holiday, I want to truly understand what you're looking for, be it a luxury escape, a safari experience, a gorgeous cruise, or simply a cottage in the country. I will handle every detail, making it seamless.I've travelled extensively myself, as well as working overseas for many years, my absolute favourite place to go is The Greek Islands, I can recommend so many different islands based on the information you tell me, I also love Spain, The Caribbean, America, Thailand, to name just a few.As a Travel Counsellor, we are globally recognised, we offer complete financial protection, from the moment you leave to when you return home I provide 24/7 support and you have the added support of real-time updates on your travel plans through your personalised App.I don't watch the clock, I don't work 9-5pm, I'm available to suit your schedule, I will take all the stress away from you when planning your holiday so you can concentrate on enjoying it fully, because I truly care about your enjoyment, I understand the investment that goes into a holiday, and whilst the holiday I design for you might cost a little more, the value and peace of mind you receive is incomparable with any holiday off the shelf.It would be my pleasure to help you embark on your next holiday adventure, so why not give me a try?

Hello, my name is Dean Wilson – thank you for your interest in Travel Counsellors.After many years working for leading high-street travel agencies, I now enjoy the freedom to spend as much time as necessary organising my clients’ holidays properly. I’ve been running my own Travel Counsellors business for 20 years, and my work is built almost entirely on recommendations from existing customers – something I’m incredibly proud of. Many of my clients have been booking with me for well over 20 years, which I think says a lot about the level of service and care I offer.With over 35 years’ experience in the travel industry, I combine extensive personal knowledge with some of the best technology available. I have access to a vast range of trusted suppliers worldwide and specialise in tailor-made holidays, luxury and long-haul travel, cruises, ski holidays and corporate travel. Every booking is treated as if it were my own.Travel remains a huge passion of mine, and I firmly believe that first-hand experience makes a real difference. More recently, my travels have included staying at Atlantis The Royal in Dubai, cruising on Oceania Cruises’ latest ship, and enjoying adventures in Bergen, Turkey and Morocco. Closer to home, I’ve also spent time exploring Derbyshire and the Scottish Highlands – proof that outstanding travel experiences don’t always require a long-haul flight.No matter what your requirements – from a simple short break to a once-in-a-lifetime trip – I would welcome the opportunity to chat through your plans, with no obligation. My aim is simple: to make booking your holiday easy, personal and completely stress-free.

I have worked in the travel industry in both leisure and corporate travel for over 20 years now. A gap year desire to travel became three years of living and working in various far-flung places, but I found I was always working for small tour companies, at hotels and once even on a yacht around Madagascar!My desire to travel and work within this industry lead me first to leisure and tailor-made trips. The conversation of where to go and what to do when there, to make every trip full and unforgettable with someone is always a great experience. I still travel as often as possible as there is no substitute for real first experience of that feeling when you walk into an amazing lobby or just warm and charming hotel. There is no way to describe the sand between your feet or a wonder of an ancient temple without the feel and sense of awe. That’s what I get to sell. While I have a passion for these trips, my long career lead to a focus on corporate travel over the last 8 years. The fast pace and often complicated logistical nature is something I found I really enjoy. While the travel may be corporate, I believe the service should be personal and in a friendly manner. I have experience with meetings, groups, conferences and can assist in writing and implementing travel policy and booking process if needed.

With over 21 years experience of working front line sales for a leading travel company, I've decided to take my career to the next level. Working with global award winning Travel Counsellors has given me the opportunity to have my own franchise, setting my own high standards of both service and product, using my vast experience to deliver a high standard of industry expertise.For you, this will begin at enquiry stage, leading you through some of the options available, you can then settle on which of the tailor-made travel itineraries best suit you. I'll provide personal recommendations where required, all to deliver a service that exceeds your expectations, and travel experience that will leave you with un-forgettable memories.During my 19 years I've acquired some stand out travel experiences, most recently, taking in the stunning natural beauty of the Maldives with my wife, where I was able to fulfil a life long ambition of swimming with manta-ray. Spotting the Big five at South Africa's Shamwari Game reserve along with skydiving over Table Mountain in Cape town, marvelling at the patient craftmanship of the Taj Mahal followed by exploring the backwater's of Southern India to name a few highlights of my travels. Not wanting to keep the world to myself, I've also taken my wife and four children, aged between 8 and 18 to Barbados, Dubai, Thailand and across much of Europe, so I can certainly pre-empt the considerations you'd need to make when travelling with a family. A particularly memorable occasion has to be my shopping and show trip to New York with my two teenage girls, never a dull moment! To list all the places, and diverse cultural experiences I've had will take up half this page, but from the shows and nightlife of Vegas and New York to the Thai markets and Indian temples, I can bring much experience to your tentative enquiry. Over the last 5 years, I've also focused on corporate travel. The challenge of catering for the fast paced high demand is where I come into my own. Finding route and ticket solutions that you'd maybe not see possible with your own planning, I take the strain out of booking business travel, a little more of this is highlighted on my Business travel page via the link.

My name is Nicola Rawlinson and I am an independent travel agent. I have been in the travel industry for over 20 years. I joined Travel Counsellors in 2004 and before that I was Manager at Travelworld in Guiseley.I joined Travel Counsellors as I wanted to concentrate on giving my customers the highest possible levels of personal service and independent travel advice without targets. Therefore I can now ensure that I can focus on booking the right holiday for my customers.I have travelled to many many places throughout the world. In addition I have participated in a number of training programmes. I hold a Dubai specialist qualification, along with many other certificates of achievement.My favourite destination would have to be the Caribbean with the powder white sands and crystal clear waters.As your own personal 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 better price than the standard holiday package you might get elsewhere.I recognise that not everyone is free to discuss their travel arrangements during the working week, which is why working from home means you can contact me at times when most other travel agents are unavailable, including evenings and weekends. This has also proved invaluable in the very unlikely event that you have a problem whilst in resort.I can help you arrange any part of your travel arrangements - so whether it be a theatre break to London or a round the world cruise - I can help. As part of a large organisation I can also get you great deals on accommodation so if you need to know the best Paris hotels for a last minute holiday to France or the best Dubai hotels for a luxurious weekend in the sun please contact me. Of course I can help with any other travel arrangements you may have, including holiday car hire and holiday insurance. 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 for visiting my page! My name is Alex and I specialise in tailor-made holidays for travellers seeking authentic experiences around the world. I have over 12 years of experience in the travel industry and have sent my clients to all corners of the globe, from the Antarctic to the South West Pacific. Whether you have a particular passion for wildlife, sports, maybe a more active holiday, or you're planning a trip for a special occasion (such as a honeymoon or anniversary), I can help you to create the perfect itinerary.Travelling and exploring the world is one of my passions. Over the years, I have been fortunate enough to visit some amazing places. I believe that when planning a holiday or a once in a lifetime trip, it really helps to speak to someone who has been there and knows the destination first hand. Here are some of my travel highlights:- Seeing orang-utans in the wild in Borneo- Swimming with manta rays, turtles and dolphins in the Maldives- On Safari in South Africa and Kenya- Cycling in Vietnam, from South to North- New York to watch US open tennis- Travelling to Japan to watch the Rugby World Cup (I love to travel to watch sporting events)- Luxury in Barbados with a stay at the iconic Sandy Lane

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.
