It's Nice To Meet You
Hello my name is Alison and I would like to welcome you to my personal page.
My passion is travel and I have been fortunate enough to travel the world and visit most continents, during my long career, within the industry.
I have an extensive knowledge of most destinations in particular Asia, Europe, Far East, Australasia, but I have also travelled to specialised destinations such as Angels Falls in Venezuela, China and Japan. I have even been a guest on local radio to share my expertise.
The fact that I am independent helps to ensure that I get the best holiday for you as I’m not tied to selling one tour operator. However, as Travel Counsellors has amazing buying power, I can make sure I offer you fantastic value for money as well as personal care. You can ensure you’ll get special care from me, and all the suppliers I use.
Every penny you spend with me is safe and protected by either ATOL or our unique trust which offers the best financial protection in the industry.
I’ll do everything for you so all you have to do is get excited about your holiday. Added to this is the fact that I’m always on hand to offer help and assistance and I’m not tied to normal office opening hours.
All my customers came from personal recommendations and the best part of being a Travel Counsellor is when my customers return home may say ‘Our holiday was amazing, thank you!’
I look forward to speaking with you and making your holiday dreams become a reality and becoming your Travel Counsellor.

Las Vegas Experience
I organized some flights and hotel accommodation in Las Vegas for several girls who were attending the Arbonne Conference in April. On Sunday morning 19th April I received a text from one of the girls in Vegas whom I had only booked accommodation for. She told me she had booked her return flight for the day after and wondered if I could help her rebook one for that day, which I was more than ha

Travel Counsellors offering personal service
Just wanted to share this story to show that here at Travel Counsellors we are ready to offer exceptional customer service even when your flight has arrived back in the UK. My customers had flown back from Vancouver into Heathrow at lunchtime on New Year's Day to connect with a flight to Leeds Bradford. Due to the Air Canada flight arriving late, they missed the connection to Leeds Bradford wh

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.
