It's Nice To Meet You
Hello and welcome!
I am Claire based in Herne, Kent.
I’m a very experienced travel agent and I promise to make your holiday dreams come true by ensuring your holiday is personalised specifically for you. Your bespoke journey will be tailor-made just for your requirements so that you can travel, stay and visit exactly the way you want to.
Before joining Travel Counsellors 11 years ago, I worked in the travel industry for 26 years, working for independent agencies and Thomas Cook. Throughout my years I have won many awards and prizes for exceeding customer expectations. My favourite memory was lunch with England rugby star Jonny Wilkinson at Twickenham! I’ve visited many places in America, Dubai, Canada, Caribbean, Africa, Israel, Egypt, Cyprus, Corsica, Greece, Italy, France, Spain, Netherlands, Belgium, Germany as well as several cruises.
One place that holds a special place in my heart is Cyprus where I personally got married, so I have first hand knowledge and experience of getting married abroad.
Your holiday might be to fulfil a life-long ambition to visit a particular country or to celebrate a special occasion, such as a wedding, anniversary, birthday or your retirement. I can bring your lifelong ambitions to life and arrange experiences and activities all across the globe, such as trekking in the Himalayas, gazing in awe at the Great Pyramid, listening to the roar of Iguassu Falls or tracking wildlife on a safari...
•Viewing gorillas in Uganda
•Whale watching in Canada
•Majestic tigers in India
•Dance the Tango in Argentina
•Ride on the bullet train in Japan
•Camp in the Omani Desert
•Trekking to Machu Picchu, Peru
•Wildebeest migration in East Africa
Why book with me? I am dedicated committed, friendly and more importantly, my attention to detail and excellent customer service are why I have repeat customers every year who trust me with their dream holidays.
Many of my customers are experienced travellers and find the process of planning a holiday very rewarding, so if you have a clear idea of where you want to go and what you want to do, simply leave the details to me. My 'one-stop' service takes care of everything, so even if you only have the bare bones of an idea, I can help you build an itinerary from scratch that fits your exact specification and budget, so before you go anywhere else, try me first!
Look forward to hearing from you!

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.
