It's Nice To Meet You
Hi I’m Bernie, your local Travel Counsellor based in Manchester.
After spending 35 years working in the public sector I decided it was time for a change – to follow my passion for travel and help others create unforgettable experiences.
I’ve been lucky enough to visit wonderful locations across the globe, from the USA and Australia, to Europe, the Caribbean, the Middle East, the Maldives, Africa and beyond.
Whether you’re dreaming of a cosy cottage in the Lake District, an exciting city break, a luxury cruise or adventurous multi-centre trip I’m here to design the perfect itinerary just for you. I provide a highly personalised service, at no additional charge to you, with the human touch and will take the time to understand your holiday style and preferences, I will create the perfect holiday or special occasion trip for you. My schedule is flexible which means I can work around you.
As an independent Travel Counsellor I have the support of an award winning network, rated 5* on Trustpilot. I work with trusted suppliers to secure exclusive rates, competitive pricing, and complete financial protection. And if I personally haven’t been somewhere, I know someone who has!
You’ll also have 24/7 support whilst you’re away, so there is always someone at the end of the phone if you need assistance.
With our easy to use MyTC platform available on your browser or via our app, managing your travel plans and keeping up with updates has never been simpler.
Get in touch today – I look forward to working with you and helping to plan your next unforgettable journey.

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.
