    🎒 38 Years in the Travel Industry — And Still Packing! 🌍Hi there! I’m Alison, and I’ve been in the travel industry for a whopping 38 years (yep, that’s a lot of suitcases I have helped to pack!). For the last 20 of those, I’ve been proud to call Travel Counsellors my home. Before that, I worked for both big-name high street agencies and some lovely little independents too — soaking up all the worldly knowledge I could like a travel-hungry sponge to give you independent travel advice.Let’s face it — the travel world has changed a lot. The old-school package holiday has really grown. Today’s travellers (that’s you!) want something more: real experiences, expert advice, and peace of mind that your money is as safe as your passport in a hotel safe.🧳 Tailor-Made Magic, Not Just Tick-Box ToursI’ve got direct links to on-the-ground partners around the globe — meaning I can stitch together unique, personalised trips with insider know-how. I talk to real people in your chosen destination to make sure your holiday isn’t just another copy-paste job. You get local charm, curated details, and absolutely no compromise.Every trip I plan is researched like I’m going myself — reviews are checked, deals are compared, and recommendations are personalised. Whether you need a Travel Agent or a Tour Operator (or a delightful mix of both), I’ve got the flexibility to build what’s right for you.🌟 My Promise: Honest Advice & Proper ServiceI’m passionate (annoyingly so) about travel. I genuinely care about getting things just right for you. From the first "Where should I go?" to the "We're back and it was AMAZING!" — I’m with you every step of the way. I don't do cookie-cutter holidays. I do YOUR holiday.🧭 What Can I Help You With?

If I don’t know something, one of them absolutely does. 🌴 Where Have I Been Lately?Oh, just a few places… Antigua, Spain, Dubai, Mauritius, Turkey, Egypt, Cornwall, Las Vegas, Greece (including the glorious Peloponnese), Sri Lanka, and more. I’ve skied in France, explored the UK from coast to coast, and I’ve got plenty of stamps in my passport (and stories to go with them!). 2026 will take me to New Zealand, Australia and India!💻 Flexibility is My SuperpowerBecause I work from home, I’m not chained to 9-to-5 hours. Need help in the evening? Weekend? I’ve got you.

    Soozie Wilson

    01372 240 056 Surrey

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

From Caribbean cruises to magical Lapland to Australian adventures, if you are planning your next trip then I am here to help you every step of the way. I am based in Newbold and offer both in person and online travel services that are bespoke to you and your holiday. Why choose me as your Travel Counsellor I have over 15 years experience in the travel industry both in the UK and overseas and I have worked for tour operators and specialists that have given me the knowledge and confidence to build the best, bespoke holiday for you. I have travelled the world extensively from a young age and my love of travel has taken me to many far-flung destinations including backpacking in Australia to cruising around the Norwegian Fjords. I have been lucky in my youth to have also lived and worked in several destinations of which I have a few highlights:- Spending 2 years in Southern Egypt including exploring the Nile Delta and Cairo. One of my particular highlights was exploring the Tomb Of The Kings...I am a bit of a history buff so this felt so special and is truly to be seen to be believed. - Working alongside Santa himself in Finnish Lapland and spending my days on husky and reindeer rides, snow mobiles and seeking the Northern Lights. There's something just purely magical about seeing the Northern Lights from a frozen Arctic lake.- Working on theatrical tours that took us to stunning destinations such as the Swiss Alps and Hong Kong. Experiences such as performing at the Royal Hong Kong Yacht Club and being a 'survivor' at their 24 hour party will stay with me for life.- Exploring Tasmania from top to toe…From wine regions to hiking up mountain ranges to white water rafting it was quite the adventure! This wilderness destination is a must for your bucket list!Each destination along the way has given me a deeper understanding of the local culture, people and the many ways in which to explore. I am a huge advocate of emerging and engaging oneself into local life and I can assist you in truly doing this on your next getaway.In the past few years, I have specialised in cruise holidays, and I have been fortunate enough to travel on and explore various cruise lines and routes that I can happily help guide you to the perfect fit. I have sailed with a number of lines including Cunard, Fred Olsen, Ambassador, Royal Caribbean and my next cruise is with Celebrity where we will be exploring Malaysia, Thailand and Indonesia. Travel has always been more than just a hobby for me; it’s a way of life. I’ve built a career out of inspiring others to discover the joy and transformation that comes from exploring the world. Whether it’s your first time abroad or your fiftieth, whether it’s a Caribbean cruise or a weekend in Whitby, I love helping travellers create unforgettable getaways. When you plan your holiday with me, you’ll get far more than just a travel agent. I’ll take the time to truly get to know you, your interests, your priorities, your needs and I will tailor make your hand-picked recommendations. I’ll ensure that your holiday is entirely personalised and catered to you. Having lived and travelled extensively around the world I understand that travel is not one-size-fits all. Some of us crave tranquillity and relaxation, others want adventure and to immerse ourselves in a destination. Together, we will design a trip that reflects you and your personality that hopefully you will love. So let’s start planning your next adventure together, that’s designed around you. I look forward to hearing from you!

    Helen Maltby

    01908 980018 Milton Keynes

    Hi! My name is Helen and I live in Milton Keynes. I set up my own travel business after leaving my previous career in teaching. I wanted to do something that made people smile and after all, that is what holidays are all about. I was also blown away by the ethos of the company and the fact that with Travel Counsellors, it IS personal. I won’t try and sell you the holiday that a specific company wants me to sell. I will help to create the holiday that YOU want instead. As a Travel Counsellor I have access to destinations and experiences all over the world.I absolutely love cruising – both travelling and selling. A cruise is also fantastic way to holiday and I particularly love Northern European cruising and all things Scandinavia. I am also proud to be a member of CLIA (Cruise Lines International Association) with Masters Accreditation.If you've thought cruising is only for the older generation then it is time to rethink. My favourite, and most sailed cruise line is Disney Cruise Line. If you think they are just for families, then think again - the best cruise I did without the children was a Disney one :)One of my other top destinations is the Maldives which I visited for my honeymoon - absolute bliss! My favourite city destination is New York and I can give great advice on Broadway shows to see while you are there. One of my most travelled parts of the world is Scandinavia and whether you want to visit in the summer or winter, want a nature or city break, I can advise you on where to go and when.I can also help if you need advice when travelling with autistic adults or children. I am autistic and my son who is also autistic has grown up going to Disney and cruising. Both of these types of holiday can be scary for someone who is autistic and I can help you navigate things so you can be best prepared for your holiday.However, whatever you are interested in, big or small, I can help as I have a team of experts around me to draw on. I will listen to what you want and then create an itinerary that is perfect for you. I think the personal touch is really important and if you are local then I’m more than happy to meet you in your home or your office - or even a nice coffee shop. As I’m not in the high street I am free to work around you.By booking with Travel Counsellors you are getting access to a wider range of choice than you will with high street travel agents. You will also be dealing with me rather than a call centre. I will take all of the stress and strain out of the holiday from searching for amazing excursions to checking you in at your resort. We have people on the ground at resorts all over the world who will be there to help you 24/7: they are locals who really understand the destination. Should something go wrong you can be assured that our 24/7 team based in Manchester will sort you out if you can’t get hold of me.We are ATOL affiliated and have the best financial protection in the industry – during the pandemic every Travel Counsellor customer received a 100% refund. No vouchers here!I look forward to helping you create your next set of memories and fulfilling your travel dreams.

    Whether you are booking a quick trip to Europe, at home in the British Isles or planning something special long haul, I can provide you with a quality holiday or business trip with the great attention to detail that is vital in making the trip memorable.I have recently relocated, with my two children and two dogs, back to the UK to live in the beautiful region of Cornwall. Having spent the last 27 working in the travel and hospitality industry living and working in Greece, whilst spending many of my winters in Australia, becoming a Travel Counsellor has given me the perfect opportunity to use my wealth of knowledge doing what I love here. I grew up as a Captains daughter so travel was really in my blood and have always lived close to the sea wherever I have been. My parents were extensively travelled before we were even born and we grew up with tales of Singapore and the Far East, and the wilderness of the African jungle, with my father living ten years in South Africa. My own love affair with travel started over thirty years ago when I moved to Athens at a young age to start my adventures there. I spent many years travelling the country selecting accommodation for an upmarket specialist and have spent the last 12 years running a country retreat for walkers and lovers of the rural countryside on the island of Crete, and have an instinctive understanding of the needs of the more discerning and independent traveller.I look forward to helping you plan anything from the trip of a lifetime to a quick weekend away and can assist you with every aspect of your trip, as well as adding some amazing diversions to enhance any trip you are planning.Although I have contacts and knowledge of a great many places my expertise lies in Greece, I also have a vast knowledge of Australia having spent nearly 2 years of my life there spread over nearly 20 years.With the flexibility of working outside office hours and always being on the end of the phone, it is like having a personal travel agent in your pocket!

If you already love cruising, I can help you discover new ships, routes and experiences, including smaller‑ship and river cruises that offer a more intimate feel.Support every step of the wayWhen you book with me, you are never just a reference number. You have one dedicated point of contact who gets to know you and your preferences.

    My name is Joanna and I am based in the leafy Chilterns in Amersham, Buckinghamshire.I have 30 years of experience in travel and am fortunate to have explored many destinations around the world. I craft unique, personalised trips for clients using my extensive travel knowledge and expertise. Travel enriches our lives in countless ways, whether it be through the discovery of new landscapes and cultures, creating cherished family memories or simply broadening our own horizons. I will make your holiday as carefree as possible, providing support and advice before you travel and throughout your trip.My father was a navigator in the RAF, flew private planes and worked for the Civil Aviation Authority. I flew on private planes before commercial ones and ‘assisted’ the inspection of runways in the Scottish Highlands! I embarked on my first own travel adventure at 18, on a six-month backpacking trip to India, Southeast Asia and Australia. On 30-hour bus rides in India, learning to dive the Great Barrier Reef and trekking in Thailand, I made lifelong friends and wonderful memories.I knew that I would never work in any other industry other than travel. After university, where I spent a term at college in the U.S. and traversed the country by Amtrak, I joined STA Travel working my way from long-haul telesales to a regional sales manager. I led a group trip to China, holidayed in Mexico, Belize and Guatemala, continued my diving adventures in the Caribbean, Fiji and the Cook Islands and fell in love with Sri Lanka. Following maternity leave, I worked for a luxury travel PR & marketing agency, representing prestigious small ships, private islands, five-star resorts and boutique city hotels. I also arranged trips for top travel journalists and influencers. I am married with three children (and a lively Labrador) and love nothing more than planning family holidays, whether it is skiing and summer trips to the Alps, holidays under canvas, beach stays in the Caribbean (St Lucia is a family favourite), a Disneyland Florida family celebration, a multigenerational city break to Berlin and an epic family Odyssey across Italy and France by plane, train and automobile! This year I travelled with my youngest son (aged 12) to Sabi Sabi Private Game Reserve, South Africa. It was a joy to see him so engaged and inspired by the incredible conservation and community projects. He learnt more about the exceptional wildlife from his time spent with the outstanding rangers and trackers than from any classroom lesson.I would be delighted to help plan your next travel adventure, whether you are going solo, in a couple or travelling with friends and family. From a ski trip, relaxing beach or cultural/foodie city break, long-haul adventure, spa and wellness holiday to dream honeymoon or cruise, I suggest options to suit your budget that are crafted with care and attention to detail. I’ll put an emphasis on thoughtful, bespoke travel experiences reflecting your interests and preferences.

During my time, I have benefitted from visiting many countries including, Australia, Bermuda, Botswana, Cambodia, Canada, Hong Kong, Jamaica, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, North America, Singapore, South Africa, Zambia, Zimbabwe and a multitude of European destinations nearer to home.Some of my best experiences include a game drive in South Africa to view the big 5 (buffalo, elephant, leopard, lion and rhino) or a flight by helicopter over the Victoria Falls in Zimbabwe. Another would be when I stayed overnight with The Long Neck Karen tribe near Chiang Rai in the north of Thailand, or jet-boating in Sydney harbour. All countries offer their own culture involvement, outstanding natural beauty, history and unique diversity. It is this that makes us want to travel, explore and learn. As your professional Travel Counsellor, I have access to award-winning technology and trusted quality suppliers. All of my clients are financially protected by the Travel Counsellors Financial Trust and ATOL. I am able to assist you with any personal travel arrangements you may have.

    Hi, I’m Zoe, your Independent Travel Agent and Cruise Ambassador for Travel Counsellors. With over 40 years’ experience in both leisure and business travel, I bring first-hand knowledge and a truly personal service. Whether it’s a family holiday, a cruise, a business trip, or a once-in-a-lifetime adventure, I’ll tailor everything to you—without the stress of endless online searching.As a Cruise Ambassador, I’ve sailed with many different lines and on many different ships, so I can match you to the right cruise experience. I’ve also explored destinations including Santorini (a personal favourite), California on fly-drives, and Sydney, where my family live—meaning my recommendations come from real experience.My clients return year after year, and I’m available when they need me, not just 9 to 5. In the ever changing world of the internet, and the speed that companies are born, bred and disappear, people are at last waking up to the fact that booking your travel arrangements through faceless internet sites is not all it’s cracked up to be. The thing that really worries the real travel experts is the lack of assistance and financial protection that these sites offer. Travel Counsellors has the best financial protection in the industry! I have 86% repeat business which is the best recommendation I could ever have.I have recently returned from Santorini, where I have holidayed for the past 14 years, and we will of course return next year! I took my first cruise in 2006 and have been bitten by the bug and I would thoroughly recommend cruising too! I love to visit new countries and for me this year has been Poland, Vietnam, Bali and Qatar. Feel free to get in touch to see how I can take the stress away from planning your next trip!Best wishes, Zoe

    I’m Laura, your personal Travel Counsellor, mum of two and long-time travel obsessive. I’m here to design journeys that really reflect you, your life and the way you like to travel.I’ve lived and worked abroad and fallen for places far away from the usual tourist spots. Over the years I have learned that the best memories come from real, everyday life; the tiny café you stumble across, the train ride where the landscape changes outside your window, the welcome you get in a small, family-run hotel. I love connecting my clients with those kinds of experiences, in ways that support local people and respect the places you visit.Slow, immersive travel is what I love most. I design trips so you can really get to know each place you visit, rather than rushing from sight to sight. My holidays are rich in local flavour and culture, but still feel comfortable, relaxed and easy to enjoy. Wherever possible, I look for choices that are more thoughtful for the planet too, whether that is travelling by rail, staying longer in fewer places or choosing partners who care about their communities.Family adventures are a big part of what I do. As a mum of two, I know the best trips with children are the ones where everyone gets to explore, try something new and still have space to unwind. I plan journeys that feel like genuine adventures, not routine holidays, with memories you will talk about for years.When you book with me, you are looked after from the first idea to the moment you arrive back home. You have one dedicated point of contact, recommendations shaped around what you love, and the reassurance of travelling with an experienced Travel Counsellor by your side every step of the way.If you are ready for something a bit different, I would love to help you plan your next adventure.

    Hi there and thank you for taking the time to visit my webpage.My name is Julie and like many of my fellow TC's, travel is my primary interest and passion in life and has been for as long as I can remember. If I had to choose my favourite country then it has to be Spain. I just adore Spain, which I think started from my childhood from the fabulous family holidays we had but then I went on to study Spanish at School, College and then University where I spent each summer working a full season in the gorgeous sunshine. My Uni Placement was in a Spanish Travel Agency and then my first job after Uni was with Iberia Airlines where I spent 3.5 fabulous year and my career had only just begun. Fortunately for me, my parents have an apartment on the South Coast, so I get to spend a lot of time in Andalucia. Aside from Spain, I am a big skier and have had the pleasure of skiing in the Alps, Pyrenees, Sierra Nevada, Milky Way. I haven’t just restricted myself to Europe, I have been to various US States, UAE, Mauritius, Seychelles, Malaysia, Vietnam, South Africa & the Caribbean.I love a good City Break, a beach holiday, a touring holiday, winter break, a cruise – you name it, I love it. Pinch me trips for meare always my ski trips but I loved Lapland and still get goosebumps from the South African Safari. I have a team I work with here at Travel Counsellors who all specialise in different countries and products, so no matter what your dream is for your next trip, please do speak to me, so I can make sure they come true.

    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.

    Vicky Babbs

    020 3603 7390 Woodford Wells

    I am proud to have owned my Travel Counsellor franchise for 18 years now.Having studied Travel & Toursim at College I have had a varied and extensive career within the industry I love. From P&O, Princess Cruises, Austravel, Australian Affair, Ebookers, Lasminute.com and Quest Travel. I have loved the opportunities my roles have given me by allowing me to visit and explore some of the most beautiful destinations, both long and short haul. As the names imply a number of these companies specialised in Tour Operating to Australasia, including Asia, New Zealand and the South Pacific. I was fortunate enough to visit cities and islands within these destinations many times each year, including hosting staff or journalists taking them to far flung areas to truly experience what each region had to offer. Austravel saw me living in Manhattan whilst running the North American division of the company, covering 15 locations including one in Canada.Everything I arrange is bespoke. It does not matter if it's a detailed long-haul holiday or a short city break, it is always put together based on my individual customers needs and requirements, nothing is 'off the shelf' as our requirements are as unique as we are as people.Given my industry experience I prefer not work with mainstream Tour Operators. By working directly with our contracted airlines, hotels, specialist suppliers and local operators I know you will be well looked after at every stage of your holiday. Ensuring you have the best experiences throughout is a priority to me. Indeed the covid years have further reinforced my working practises as I have had to cancel and change so many holidays. This has been done with ease as I have been the one in control alongside the relevant service provider making it simple to obtain refunds or to amend. I am also backed up by an amazing 24/7 team .Not exhaustive but I can arrange: City Breaks, River Cruises, Ocean & Adventure Cruises Long-haul, Short-haul holidays and detailed multi centre or round the world itineraries. Family, couples or singles holidays. Ski, Lapland Weddings, Honeymoons Private planes, helicopters and yachts. ...... Nothing is ImpossiblePlease feel free to call me so that we can chat about your travel requirements and aspirations. For more convenience you can arrange to meet with me, at a mutually agreeable time during the day, evening or weekends, at the Hobo Private Members Club in Loughton.I look forward to hearing from you and becoming your Personal Travel Counsellor.VickyIF YOU CAN DREAM IT I CAN CREATE IT.

Maui, Hawaii:A special anniversary trip with a ten-month-old in tow, proving that even the most exotic destinations are reachable with the right planning. Yosemite National Park:People always say it "takes your breath away," but you don't truly feel the scale of it until you’re standing before the sheer face of El Capitan.

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.
