Susan Sheehan
It's Nice To Meet You
Hi my name is Sue. I am based in the beautiful spa town of Harrogate and am married with two daughters in their early twenties. Together we have been lucky enough to travel all over the world – experiencing family holidays, luxury breaks and long-haul, tailor made excursions.
I have worked in several areas of the travel and tourism industry for over 30 years – from working in a high street travel agency (where I was constantly awarded as an ‘A’ performer), to providing business travel for a large corporate company, and even being a ground agent at Leeds-Bradford airport. All of these positions have helped me to achieve high levels of experience and exceptional customer service that I will be able to apply to your enquiry.
Having travelled extensively during my career, I have first hand knowledge of many destinations including Australia, the Far East, Fiji, USA and the Caribbean, amongst many European beach locations including the Balearics, Canaries, Cyprus, Portugal, Mainland Spain and Turkey. I also love going on European city breaks, my favourites being Rome & Prague, although having also visited Venice, Nice and Paris. I can certainly give you great tips on what to see and do in all of these destinations and the best ways of experiencing the local culture that surrounds them.
My passion for travel will guarantee that you receive the best possible service and competitive pricing at all times, and as Travel Counsellors are an independent company, I have access to hundreds of accommodations, flights and essentials that can be tailored to your specific requirements - whether it is a family holiday, a cruise, a late deal or a special occasion, your perfect holiday experience can be created from start to finish.
It would be my pleasure to help organise your holiday within the comfort of your own home, whilst also helping you save a great deal of time and money. Please feel free to contact me by phone where we can have a one to one conversation at a time that suits you, or send me an email with your full requirements and I will reply with the relevant information as soon as possible.
Contact Me
Whatever your holiday needs I'm here to help you, so simply give me a call or send me an email with your contact details on and I can get things started for you:

Susan is personable and approachable whilst being knowledgeable, understanding and customer focused! Her key strength is understanding exactly what the customer is looking for and delivering, quickly and efficiently. For me and my family, Susan provided an excellent selection of holidays that ALL met criteria set, the difficulty was choosing which holiday to pick!

Sue is amazing and gave us Customer service at its highest level. We wanted to book a cruise and having never done one before needed guidance. Sue was so helpful , researched lots and gave us lots of options and answered numerous questions including phoning the cruise line several times on our behalf. Nothing was too much trouble. It is rare to find such exceptional customer service in our modern society. We would highly recommend Sue and will be using her to book our future adventures and the boring stuff like travel insurance !
