It's Nice To Meet You
Hello and welcome to my web page,
My name is Deirdre. I am passionate about travel and look forward to being your personal Travel Counsellor. Having worked in the travel industry for nearly 41 years, both in Ireland and the UK, I have built up a comprehensive knowledge of the business and leisure travel industry.
Since I moved to Leeds, 31 years ago, I have grown to love Yorkshire and am proud to call it my home. I have two grown up children, so I now have the freedom to work the hours my clients need me to work, to give them the professional personalised service that they deserve.
The travel industry has provided me with the opportunity to travel extensively around the world, to destinations in Europe, North America, North Africa and the Indian Ocean.
Being part of Travel Counsellors affords me the very latest technology and I work with all the leading tour operators, airlines, car hire companies, hotels, cruise lines etc. With access to over 400 suppliers I can offer a level of choice that you will not find in a traditional travel agency or on the internet.
I have specialised in arranging tailor-made holidays worldwide, weddings, honeymoons, round the world itineraries and cruises and aim to provide the highest possible customer service to make your special holiday a dream come true.
I look forward to hearing from you in the near future.

Why use a Travel Counsellor
Let's plan your dream trip together
Tailor-made for you
Your holiday isn’t just a trip away. It’s a longed-for escape, time to reconnect with loved ones, or a dream adventure you never thought possible. That’s why I take the time to truly get to know you and understand your hopes and expectations, then use my experience, connections and passion for the destination to create a trip that makes those dreams a reality.
Personalised service. Always
When you plan a holiday with me, you’ll be given my personal mobile number from the very first call. I’ll listen to your thoughts and ideas like I would a friend and arrange accommodation, activities, and flights that are all personalised to you. And I’ll share my personal tips and recommendations, so you can experience the true beauty of each destination.
Stress-free travel, and more time for what matters most
I believe your time away should be stress-free, easy, and seamless from start to finish. So, I take care of all the details for you - from ATOL protection, insurance, and flexible payments to access to the myTC app, which keeps everything in one place.
Support when it matters most
If the unexpected happens, you can rest easy, knowing that I’ll handle any last-minute changes, flight cancellations, or disruptions before you even pick up the phone. So you always feel happy, carefree, and ready to make the most of every moment.
