Thank you for your interest, it's nice to meet you.
Hello, my name is Dean Wilson – thank you for your interest in Travel Counsellors.
After many years working for leading high-street travel agencies, I now enjoy the freedom to spend as much time as necessary organising my clients’ holidays properly. I’ve been running my own Travel Counsellors business for 20 years, and my work is built almost entirely on recommendations from existing customers – something I’m incredibly proud of. Many of my clients have been booking with me for well over 20 years, which I think says a lot about the level of service and care I offer.
With over 35 years’ experience in the travel industry, I combine extensive personal knowledge with some of the best technology available. I have access to a vast range of trusted suppliers worldwide and specialise in tailor-made holidays, luxury and long-haul travel, cruises, ski holidays and corporate travel. Every booking is treated as if it were my own.
Travel remains a huge passion of mine, and I firmly believe that first-hand experience makes a real difference. More recently, my travels have included staying at Atlantis The Royal in Dubai, cruising on Oceania Cruises’ latest ship, and enjoying adventures in Bergen, Turkey and Morocco. Closer to home, I’ve also spent time exploring Derbyshire and the Scottish Highlands – proof that outstanding travel experiences don’t always require a long-haul flight.
No matter what your requirements – from a simple short break to a once-in-a-lifetime trip – I would welcome the opportunity to chat through your plans, with no obligation. My aim is simple: to make booking your holiday easy, personal and completely stress-free.

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.
