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.

I’m Claire Young – seasoned travel planner, passionate globetrotter, and the person you want in your corner when only the very best will do.For over 30 years, I’ve been crafting holidays that go far beyond the brochure. From chic weekends in Paris or Florence, to sun-soaked escapes in the Maldives or the Caribbean, to epic journeys across Asia and Australasia – I make it happen. My clients come to me because they want more than just a trip: they want a seamless, tailored experience with every detail handled and every box ticked. And that’s exactly what I deliver.Working with me is like having your own personal travel concierge. I combine insider knowledge, trusted global partnerships, and an instinct for matching people to places that just fit. My job isn’t about transactions – it’s about transformation. Turning a vague idea or half-formed wish into a perfectly polished itinerary that feels completely personal, indulgently effortless, and undeniably memorable.Over the last four years, I’ve taken that philosophy even further by curating a dedicated side of the business: Luxury Romance. This is where I help couples and families celebrate life’s most meaningful moments – honeymoons, destination weddings, anniversaries, and milestone escapes. From barefoot vows on a private beach to once-in-a-lifetime honeymoons or multi-generational celebration trips, I make sure every journey is elegant, elevated, and unforgettable.Luxury travel, for me, isn’t just about five-star hotels or first-class cabins (though I have those covered too). It’s about creating space for connection, for joy, for those rare moments that stay with you forever. That’s what my clients trust me to deliver – and why they come back, time after time, for the next adventure.So, whether you know exactly where you want to go or simply want the kind of trip people will talk about for years, let’s start planning. Warning: a chat with me may cause excessive daydreaming – but once we get going, you’ll be very glad it did.

Bespoke holidays, honest advice and concierge‑style care, whatever your budget.Hello, I am Shilpa,Thank you for taking the time to visit my page and get to know me a little better. Travel has been my passion for as long as I can remember, so turning it into a lifelong career felt completely natural. I have worked in the travel industry for over 38 years and have been a proud Travel Counsellor since 2001. I have never looked back.I specialise in tailor‑made itineraries and honeymoons, from elegant city stays and multi‑centre adventures to relaxing beach and villa escapes. Many of my clients choose to travel in a more luxurious way, with handpicked hotels, private transfers and special experiences, but I am just as happy working to a modest budget. For me, it is about finding the right trip for you, not simply the most expensive one.As a mum to two sons, now 20 and 22, I have been travelling on family holidays since they were babies. I understand how needs evolve over time, from baby‑friendly escapes and active teen adventures to trips that work beautifully for young adults too. I use that experience to match you with the right destination, hotel and pace to suit everyone.My own travels have taken me across the USA, India, South Africa, The Gambia, Cuba, Dubai and many places in Europe, too many to mention. I have travelled extensively throughout Italy and, having been married to an Icelander, I have been lucky enough to visit Iceland many times too.

Hello, I’m Katie May – your trusted Travel Counsellor, based in the heart of Lincolnshire. Boston is home to me, my husband, our teenage son, a lively dog, and a muddy cob (horse, for anyone not in the know). Life here is full of energy and warmth – and that’s exactly what I bring to every holiday I create: a wholehearted commitment to helping you craft life-long memories.My passion for travel ignited as a solo adventurer in Australia during my first gap year after school. The travel bug truly took hold during a second gap year post-university, when I embarked on a round-the-world backpacking adventure with my then-boyfriend (now husband): we partied under full moon skies, lived on remote outback cattle stations, soared above the Grand Canyon, and woke to lions’ roars on safari under canvas.Since then, I’ve snorkelled in the crystal-clear waters of the Maldives, marvelled at the ancient majesty of Machu Picchu, and been immersed in the vibrant culture of India. These, and many more experiences have gifted me memories to last a lifetime and inspired my career helping others do the same. Years with a leading luxury tour operator allowed me to specialise in crafting journeys that truly mean more – from exhilarating ski adventures and sun-drenched Mediterranean escapes, to dreamy winter-sun retreats across the Indian Ocean, Middle East, and Caribbean. Yet, the Seychelles remains a personal favourite: a paradise where those once-in-a-lifetime moments seem effortless, thanks to icing-sugar sands and idyllic lagoons.As your Travel Counsellor, I’ll guide you towards a Better Journey at every step – whether you’re chasing bucket-list experiences, seeking total relaxation, craving cultural adventures, or longing for meaningful family time. I’ll help you build a holiday that sparks pure joy and creates life-long, joyful memories. My personal service and meticulous planning mean you can truly relax, knowing every detail is in safe hands.Because I’m a flexible homeworker balancing family (and muddy cob) life, I’m here whenever you need – daytime, evenings, or weekends. Let’s make your next holiday not just a trip, but the first chapter in a story of cherished new memories.Let’s start planning your Better Journey today. Get in touch, and let’s create life-long memories you’ll treasure forever.

I work closely with trusted global partners to secure the finest accommodation, premium flights, private transfers and immersive experiences that go beyond the ordinary. My service is highly personal and consultative. I take time to understand not only where you wish to travel, but how you want to feel while you’re there. I offer clear, candid advice and thoughtful recommendations, ensuring each decision enhances your overall experience. Nothing is left to chance.For busy professionals, convenience is paramount. I work flexibly around your schedule — meeting at a time and place that suits you or managing everything virtually with complete efficiency.

You won’t need to spend hours researching, comparing or questioning your choices. Instead, you can relax knowing your travel plans are in expert hands.

Hi,I am Mike Bridges - I have worked in travel for 36 years with the last 16 as a Travel Counsellor. In that time I have seen a radical change in how travel is sourced, so much so that I am now more of a tour operator than a travel agent, putting together bespoke packages to long haul destinations such as Australia, South Africa, U.S.A., the far east as well as all over Europe and the middle East. I also arrange corporate travel for my business clients.I have personally travelled extensively to most of these destinations over the years both as a consumer on family holidays and also as a delegate on educational/travel agency visits. Some of the places I have visited include:I have particular expertise in the Australian travel market, having just been awarded the status of Premier Aussie Specialist by Tourism Australia.If you are seeking a personalised service from an experienced independent agent/operator then be sure to contact me for:That overseas wedding, your own or as a guest That special weekend treat Where to take some foreign visitors for a typical English experience That exciting first trip abroad The holiday of a lifetime That special cruise to mark your birthday, anniversary, retirement The annual family summer holiday - compare and contrast places, hotels and prices - The winter sports holiday The long haul trip The holiday ‘where you are looked after’ by a resident tour guide Arranging that conference abroad PA’s booking hotels, airlines, meetings for your boss Visiting that trade exhibition in EuropeThese are just a few of the services I can offer you but in short your travel needs become my personalised concern - let me take the hassle away from your time consuming surfing on the net, that thumbing through brochures - leave it to someone who knows - ring for a discussion and together we will create your holiday experience.I look forward to hearing from you soon…

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 and the Caribbean, 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!

Welcome, I am Tracy, your personal Travel Counsellor on the sunny Suffolk coast. A childhood spent living in Germany meant that hopping across borders into neighbouring countries quickly became a way of life, and those early journeys across Europe and into Asia are where my love of travel and different cultures truly began. From backpacking through Australia and exploring the Far East, to discovering the Caribbean, Canada and the Middle East, travel has always been at the heart of my story and continues to inspire everything I do for my clients today.I spent more than 30 years working as a Finance Manager in the private sector, including over 25 years in the travel and tourism industry, so I bring a unique blend of insider knowledge, commercial understanding and meticulous organisation to every trip I design. In 2020 I decided to turn my lifelong passion into my full‑time profession and, for the past five years, I have been creating carefully tailored holidays as a Travel Counsellor. I combine a genuine love of discovering new places, people and flavours with a detail‑driven, numbers‑savvy approach that keeps your plans running smoothly from the first idea to your return home. I understand both the joy and the juggle of travelling with children from my own family adventures with my son Tommy, and I also share my husband’s enthusiasm for long‑haul escapes, culture‑rich city breaks and a growing love of F1 and walking holidays (honestly that's something I thought I would never say).When you plan your holiday with me, it is all about you. I take the time to listen to what you truly want from your time away, whether that is relaxation, adventure, culture, family connection or a little of everything. I will get to know how you like to travel, what matters most to you and what will transform a good holiday into a trip you will talk about for years. Every itinerary is designed around your needs, with thoughtful touches and professional guidance at every step, and I will be here to support you before you go, while you are away and once you are home again. My aim is simple: to take the stress out of planning so that all you feel is the excitement of your next journey and the pleasure of making unforgettable memories.If you are ready to start imagining your next escape, I would be delighted to help bring your travel dreams to life.

Thank you so much for visiting my page. My name is Katherine Coetzee, and I am a Luxury African Travel Expert specialising in creating unique, tailor-made, and unforgettable African travel experiences.Let me ask you this question Do you dream of dining while watching the Big Five roam the South African bush, cruising down the Zambezi River in Zambia, exploring the vibrant souks of Morocco, or relaxing in a luxury lodge overlooking the Okavango Delta in Botswana? Whatever your African adventure may be, it sounds like heaven, right?But do you dread searching for the perfect trip on the internet, or are you too busy to spend hours looking for that dream holiday, only to find that when you think you've found ‘the one,’ you still have many questions and no one to turn to? If you answered yes to the above, then you’ve come to the right place!With over 23 years of experience in the travel and hotel industry, I have travelled extensively across the globe.

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?

Travel and holidays are what I have worked and lived for all my life, and I am a firm believer of always having my next holiday booked to have something to look forward to. Holidays mean something different to every person, maybe it is quality family time or a romantic breakaway, exploring a new destination, a honeymoon or a well-deserved break after hard work. Whatever holidays mean to you, I am here to take the headache out of holiday arrangements and make your dream vacation come true. As an independent Travel Counsellor, my customers are at the heart of what I do and your needs are my top priority. From staycations to exotic destinations, a couples retreat to family get-togethers, safaris to cruises, skiing trips to diving excursions…I am passionate about creating your perfect trip, whilst providing a professional and personal service. Whatever time of the day, I am available to contact for help, and when you are on holiday my assistance is a touch of a button away. Having grown up in South Africa, I have been on countless safaris and wine tours and have found my passion for nature and animals in my beautiful home country. Once I had spread my wings beyond the South African borders, my journeys took me to the snowy slopes of Scotland, the pyramids of Egypt, the amazing landscapes of Italy, the coast of Portugal, the crazy rides of Walt Disney World, France, Russia, and countless more. I found I had a serious soft spot for islands and beaches and have been to Zanzibar, Mauritius, Hawaii, Maldives, Sharm El Sheikh, Mozambique and Miami to name but a few! In addition to travelling within most continents, I also discovered the exciting world of scuba diving! Words cannot describe the wonder of being face to face with a whale shark in the Red Sea, hearing dolphins under water in Zanzibar or swimming peacefully next to green turtles off the coast of Maui. I look forward to working with you to create your perfect travel experience!

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.

Hello, I'm Liz, your local independent travel expert based in leafy Beckenham, on the borders of South London and Kent. My passion for travel started a very long time ago when my first ever job was selling Spanish package holidays. I’ve never lost that desire, that passion, for seeing and experiencing the world at large. Now, a few decades later, I am living that dream and helping my customers to explore and discover the world.My personal passion is African safari, I think it’s the sounds and smells of the bush that really get under my skin and I’m so happy planning a safari trip for a client. I love to talk about it to anyone who will care to listen. But not everyone is keen to explore the bush. Whatever your preference, I am here to help and advise and share my personal travel experiences with you. I work from a home office so I’m available to discuss your trip when it's most convenient for you and not restricted by office hours. I do home visits to suit your hours and can also be found meeting clients in the numerous local coffee bars (when we’re allowed), talking holidays over a latte.That initial chat is the most important step towards the perfect holiday. I need to spend time getting to know you so that I can craft the perfect itinerary or destination holiday for you and your family or group. My clients' travel adventures are too varied to mention them all but include dozens of African safaris, motor home tours of the Rockies in Canada, luxury tours from north to south of India, or barefoot paradise honeymoons in the islands of the Indian Ocean or Pacific islands. Skiing holidays, the Northern Lights, Antarctic cruises, the Galapagos Islands, or the Ashes in Australia, the possibilities are endless. I will cater for your every need and will do my best to help with special requests that just aren't available on-line; adjoining rooms? cruise cabin near a lift? saltwater pool? short walk to bars and restaurants? gluten free menus? …. we'll do our best.I do pride myself on attention to detail; from that first meeting through to your return home and all points in between, creating memories that last a lifetime. Call me and let’s talk holidays.

My name is Michael, I’m a Travel Counsellor and I live in Radlett, a commuter village located between Watford and St Albans in Hertfordshire. My family have lived in Hertfordshire since at least the 1600s. That’s probably why I felt the need to escape and see a bit more of the world; travel after all broadens the mind.Sport and travel have always been passions of mine and I have combined the two by arranging and selling skiing holidays for many years and I have also been involved in running cricket and rugby tours to both the UK and Europe.I’ve been in the travel industry for over 30 years and have experienced and enjoyed many different roles so I have a great understanding of what you, the customer wants from every aspect of their holiday.From being an overseas representative in destinations as diverse as Ibiza and Switzerland and contracting hotels, apartments and villas in Cyprus, Turkey, the Canary Islands, mainland Spain, Greek Islands and many, many more fabulous holiday destinations, my main ambition has always been to ensure that everything is right for the customer!I’m often asked what my favourite holiday destination is and it is so difficult to pick just one place from all the great and varied opportunities out there. However here goes with a few favourites: for skiing I love Italy, as much for the food and atmosphere as the skiing, Australia and India are places I must visit again as there is so much more to see. I have a particular soft spot for Cyprus, its history and its people. My favourite cities must include Florence, New York, Lisbon and Sydney.I look forward to helping you visit some of your personal favourites or even better discover your own brand new “dream destination”.

Hello, I'm your personal Travel Counsellor. I live in Mortimer near Reading I caught the travel bug many years ago. My first real trip outside of the UK was a train journey from my home town of Glasgow to Germany at the age of 16 on a 3-month visa. I travelled throughout what was known then as West Germany. I loved every moment. I enjoyed the food, practicing the language and generally just taking in what Germany had to offer. I have since been lucky enough to have travelled and lived in many European destinations. I have enjoyed worldwide holidays to lots of destinations and have travelled within the USA to places such as Hawaii, Utah, New York, Florida and Cuba to name but a few. I arranged my own wedding in Las Vegas followed by our honeymoon in California. I have been fortunate to have visited Egypt several times and have witnessed many changes throughout the years. I have had ridden on the back of an elephant in India and visited the wonderful city of Petra, a sight to behold. We have a bucket list for our round trip of Australia that included Christmas day on sunny beach Queensland in 2016, crossing Sydney Harbour Bridge in the summer 2017 and watching dolphins as the sun went down on Fraser Island. We continue our journey in Melbourne 2019. I have been on many more holidays such as cruises, family trips and girl’s weekend’s home and away. I would be more than happy to share any of my experiences with you. Combining all of the above along with my travel knowledge and the backing of Travel Counsellors this is proving to be a winning formula. I am able to offer you advice and recommendations on all types of holidays across the globe. As a home-based Travel Counsellor I have the time and flexibility to provide you with a comprehensive and personal service. Being independent and impartial means I can offer you great choices, great prices and full ATOL protection. I love all aspects of travel and over the years have organised trips to most countries in the world. I really enjoy the process of someone handing me an idea and giving them back the dream. Let me look after all your travel needs be it families, couples, solo travellers, long or short haul, leisure or business, bespoke tours or beach breaks I'm here for you.

From magical family adventures and inspirational cruises, to unforgettable safaris, romantic couples’ escapes, luxury honeymoons or a cosy weekend away here in the UK, I will design every detail with care.

If you have trouble finding the perfect holiday or simply don’t have the time or energy I can help. My passion for travel began after buying my first Inter-railing ticket around Europe. During those four weeks I learnt so much about different cultures, cities and food. I was hooked! From that moment on I decided to work in travel and help others fulfill their travelling dreams.After graduation I worked for one of the leading travel agents in Kensington, London where I specialised in long haul, tailor-made holidays. My fondest memories were creating bespoke holidays for different people, with different budgets and different dreams; be it long haul, short haul, budget, luxury, backpack or family break.I have been fortunate enough to experience many different types of holidays, having backpacked around the world after University, had luxury trips whilst working in the travel industry, and more recently (now I understand what it’s like travelling with children) family holidays closer to home in Europe. Some of my highlights include white water rafting down the Zambezi river in Africa, paragliding and bungee jumping in New Zealand, walking the Inca Trail in Peru, a desert safari in Dubai and relaxing on the fantastic beaches in Portugal.I am delighted to have joined Travel Counsellors. In our increasingly busy lives I feel holidays are so important but we rarely have enough time to find the perfect one. I can help you. I am committed to using my experience and contacts to go the extra mile and bring together an experience that you won’t forget.I look forward to speaking to you soon.Thanks

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.

Over the years I have travelled to the USA, the Caribbean, the Middle East and South Africa as well as covering most of Europe.

I am always at the end of the phone should you need me, no matter what time of day.Why not give me a call when planning your next holiday, you will get a friendly, professional service from someone with a genuine interest in finding you the ideal holiday.

Hi, I'm Tanya, I love the great outdoors and am based in the New Forest, where I grew up. My Career in the travel industry began 30 years ago and I went on to manage several stores for nationwide agencies. I joined Travel Counsellors recently following a move from Holidaysplease where I was able to build my business around my family for the last 10 years. My Favourite destinations are Canada and Australia for outdoor adventures and Italy for food and wine. I have been lucky enough to also experience several cruises and recently returned from the stunning Norwegian Fjords. Providing personal customer service and hearing how much people have enjoyed their experiences is a source of great pride and satisfaction for me. In addition to sending people on incredible adventures and lovely holidays exploring the world, I equally enjoy my time with my family in our campervan in the UK! Everybody has a different idea of a dream holiday and creating their special memories, get in touch and we can talk about yours!

Travel. Tailored by a human. Enjoyed by you. I work full-time planning travel. Let’s make sure you don’t have to. Based in London, I’ve worked in the Travel industry for over 20 years. Travel is the most enjoyable and most powerful learning tool we have as human beings. Travel enables us to learn about ourselves and the world around us. It bridges cultures, enriches lives and taking a break, however long, protects our mental health.Now for all the benefits that Travel provides, planning it properly can be confusing and stressful, and most of all TIME-CONSUMING! This is where working with a personal Travel Counsellor like me comes into its own.Travel Counsellors is a world-leading, award-winning, independent travel company offering 100% financial protection, 24/7 care whilst you are travelling and access to a community of Global travel experts, who deliver exceptional experiences, and great value to customers. We are experts in saving you time and lowering stress levels. From the minute you start researching, to when you get home. No one will put more thought and care into your travel plans than us. Booking with Travel Counsellors is not like booking with a regular travel agent - online or on the high street. Think of us more as your bank manager but for Travel, and obviously a lot more fun. Ensuring that you invest wisely, get the best value and maximise your time away. You always get to speak to a human – be that me or our wonderful support teams. There are no automated phone lines or call centres with Travel Counsellors. You speak with a human every time with your own direct line.I’ve been lucky to have travelled around the world many times over for both pleasure and business. I have lots of insights, recommendations, tips and tricks to share. If I had to pick my favourite destinations (it’s not easy) then I’d nominate Australia, South East Asia, the Far East, New York, California, Mexico, Italy and Greece. So whether it’s a multi-centre holiday, a trip with friends, a romantic trip for two, a honeymoon, a surprise birthday, a trip to celebrate retirement, an around-the-world adventure and anything and everything in between – I have the expertise to create your perfect trip, every time.EXPERT TIP: To get the most out of my service and expertise, and to save you lots of time in the long run, it is more effective and efficient to talk through requirements, rather than briefing solely by email. A conversation together will help us to capture your full requirements and enable us both to ask questions. So whatever your enquiry might be, I’d be delighted to hear from you by phone, email or WhatsApp to arrange to chat – and to see where this journey takes us!

With more than 20 years’ experience in making holidays and travel accessible and inclusive to all, it is with great excitement and anticipation that I join the Travel Counsellors global family of award-winning travel professionals. It’s going to be an amazing journey!In my previous role as General Manager of one of the UK's leading accessible tour operators, Accessible Travel, I was able to establish a unique insight and understanding of how to create holidays and travel that meet the requirements of customers with even the most complex access and mobility requirements. I have enjoyed seamlessly making holidays accessible and my comprehensive service includes, assistance through airports and on flights, adapted transfers, guaranteed accessible rooms, through to hiring of equipment, nursing care and accessible excursions. Having curated holidays, just not for a specialist market, along with drawing on my travel experience through more than 50 countries, I instinctively match holidays and listen to my customers’ tailoring holidays to individual needs and requirements. I love finding out where you’ve been and where you want to go, because sometimes travel is about heightening your imagination and finding those things you never knew you were looking for.But of course, the most important relationships over the years have been with my valued clients, many now friends. It is so rewarding that you are already allowing me the pleasure to plan and book your future holidays and travel. That means so much. But what is really exciting about being a Travel Counsellor is that I will now be able to offer an almost unlimited range of destinations and holiday opportunities to everyone, that simply cannot be matched by any other travel organisation. This will mean I can help realise your travel ambitions and dreams in a way that was simply not previously possible. Add to this round-the-clock support wherever you are in the world, 100% financial protection and of course a personal, caring service without compromise and it really is going to be a future without limits!Ali

My name is Fiona and I live near the lovely town of Holywood on the County Down coast.Thank you so much for visiting my website and here is a little bit about myself!My great love of travel started at the early age of 5 when my Dad used to take me to watch the planes taking-off and landing at Dulles Airport in Washington DC. I can also remember a game we played whereby he would ask me to name the capital city of various countries and I just got hours of amusement from this.After completing my degree in French at the Queens University of Belfast, I took a year out during which I spent 4 months in the beautiful city of Vancouver with my aunt and uncle. It was just an amazing time and, after that, I finally made my mind up that I wanted to start my working career in the travel industry.I now have over 30 years of experience in mainly business travel and it really is hard to believe where the time has gone! I started in the travel agency environment before I moved into the IT industry nearly 18 years ago where my expertise was, for the most part, used to manage corporate travel programs. I guess, therefore, that I can say I’ve worked on both sides of the fence so have an excellent understanding of the needs of both the client and the supplier.The company which I most recently worked for has 5 core values: integrity, passion, innovation, humility and transparency and I genuinely believe that I live my life in accordance with these values. They are of a great help to me in my workplace and personal life.I am absolutely delighted to now be at the stage in my career of running my own business and helping corporates to manage their travel programs. That said, I’m passionate about all aspects of travel and, in the knowledge that personal holidays are so important to us all, I would be more than happy to look after these too. I have travelled widely on long haul trips as well as weekend breaks and longer holidays within Europe.I pride myself in offering a personal, cost-effective and time-saving service. My working hours are flexible and I research each and every trip thoroughly to ensure best value, suitability and convenience are obtained. The term “that’ll do” just does not come into my vocabulary.I do hope that my service may be of interest to you. I really would appreciate the opportunity to work with you with the aim of creating that “perfect trip” over and over again!Best Wishes, Fiona

If you are thinking about a cruise or a carefully planned multi-centre holiday, you are in the right place.I specialise in creating cruise and multi-centre experiences that are thoughtfully designed around you. From Mediterranean sailings paired with boutique city stays, to Canada and Alaska journeys that combine rail and cruise, to Asia explorations or Australia and New Zealand adventures with seamless touring woven in, I bring clarity and reassurance to what can otherwise feel overwhelming.Cruising can feel deceptively simple at first, but the choices matter. Which ship truly suits your style? Is a balcony worth the investment? Are drinks packages good value for you? What if you choose the wrong cruise line? Do you need to fly the day before? And what about gratuities, Wi-Fi, visas, or insurance requirements? These decisions shape your entire experience, and getting them right makes all the difference.Drawing on two decades of industry experience, first-hand sailing knowledge, ongoing specialist training and strong relationships with leading cruise lines, I provide clear, honest advice at every stage. I explain the differences between cruise lines, ship sizes and cabin categories in plain English, so you feel informed rather than overwhelmed. I am here to help you make the right decision and book with confidence.For multi-centre holidays, I manage all of the moving parts for you. Sensible flight times, smooth connections and well-located hotels. Pre- and post-cruise stays that enhance your experience rather than complicate it. I take care of the logistics behind the scenes, so all you need to focus on is enjoying the experience.When you book with me, you are not just securing a holiday. You are gaining independent expert guidance, financial protection through the Travel Counsellors trust account, and one personal point of contact from enquiry to departure and beyond. If plans change or something unexpected happens, you have someone in your corner who will handle it.Many of my clients return year after year because they value having someone who understands how they like to travel, who is honest about what is worth the extra cost, and who takes care of the details.If you would like your next cruise or multi-centre holiday planned with care and expertise, I would love to help.
