Claire Ritchie
My expertise
I'm based in
Belfast
Hello, your perfectly planned journey starts here,
I am Claire and I am here to curate seamless journeys for both your leisure and business travel. I am a Scottish lady based in Belfast with a global outlook and a life long passion for travel and high end service. For you this means I do the time consuming research and booking whilst you get to relax with the reassurance that every detail has been thought through.
Before joining Travel Counsellors, I built a career in international marketing, leading global teams and campaigns and hosting corporate events across the world. That experience sharpened my attention to detail and the importance of a VIP service and care, skills I now bring into creating bespoke travel for all my clients.
My own personal, family and corporate travels have taken me across the globe ,from Asia, Africa, Canada, the Caribbean (where my grandparents lived on St Lucia- and yes I have been a few times!), the Canaries, Mauritius, Norway (where I lived as a child), and the USA, to countless destinations across Europe, the UK and Ireland. I’ve skied in the Alps, Norway, Canada and the USA, sailed around Europe, climbed many mountains and swam in many seas.
These experiences fuel my curiosity and give me a deep appreciation for the memories that travel creates.
As a Travel Counsellor, I bring my experience and passion to others. It’s about designing journeys, whether for work or wonder, that are seamless, personal, and full of joy.
With the backing of Travel Counsellors’ award-winning expertise, technology, financial protection, and global network, you can feel confident you are in safe hands.
Whether you’re looking for a luxury escape, a short trip away, a wellness program, a family adventure, a cruise, a ski holiday, a special celebration, or a business trip handled with meticulous care, I’ll take the time to understand what matters most to you and curate a journey worth remembering and one that inspires many more.
I look forward to hearing from you and creating those moments of wonder for 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.
