It's Nice To Meet You

I'm Emma and my passion lies in researching and putting together bespoke, tailor made itineraries to make sure your dream trip becomes a reality. Whether your looking to go island hopping in Thailand, rainforest trekking in Brazil, 'find yourself' in Bali or simply just relax on the beach in the Maldives I'll be sure to take care of everything, from the planning stages right through to making sure you have suitable seats on your flight so all you have to worry about is not forgetting your sun cream.

I am a big believer in the personal touches and as your personal Travel Counsellor I really take the time to get to know you; from your favourite trips in the past to whether you have any specific food requirements and everything in between. In doing this I'll be able to put together the perfect trip to you and ensure it is memorable and magical.

As I WFH I am very flexible and so can very much work around you which means I can be available 24/7 to help with any questions or queries you may have. If you prefer to discuss what your looking for in the evening with a glass of wine when the kids are in bed - no problem at all, my flexibility means I can accommodate what works best for you and take the stress out of planning your ideal holiday.

As well as the flexibility of being available 24/7 - prior to your travelling and while you're away - we at Travel Counsellors also offer 100% financial protection so you can be sure you are not only getting the best value for money but that your money is safe.

While some of the holidays I put together may cost a little more - the piece of mind I offer really is priceless - I'll be there every step of the way ensuring your dream trip becomes a reality. If you can dream it - I can book it....

Emma went above and beyond to find my perfect Christmas break and I can’t say I wasn’t picky! She ticked all my boxes and answered all my questions in a very short space of time. She’s always on call and has been great to work with. I can’t wait to use her again!

Excellent service and advice. Very impressed

Sent by Josh S

I couldn’t be more impressed I couldn’t be more impressed with the service I received from my travel counsellor, Emma. From start to finish, she was incredibly helpful, patient, and attentive to every detail. I had quite specific requirements when it came to selecting accommodation, and Emma went above and beyond—providing me with a wide range of carefully considered options to suit my needs. Her knowledge and guidance made choosing the right place so much easier and gave me real confidence in the booking. On the day of travel, Emma was in regular contact, keeping me updated when flight delays occurred and even taking the initiative to contact the hotel to advise them of our late arrival—something that made a big difference after a long and tiring journey. She also sent through all boarding passes and continued to check in during my trip to make sure everything was going smoothly. That personal touch and genuine care throughout the experience really stood out. Emma’s support turned a good holiday into a great one. I wouldn’t hesitate to book through her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a stress-free, well-organised travel experience.

Destination Downlow: Doha - A Jewel in the Desert

29 May 2025

Doha, the shimmering capital of Qatar, is like that friend who has everything: a rich history, jaw-dropping architecture, and an ever-evolving personality. Nestled on the Arabian Gulf, this city has transformed from a humble fishing and pearling village into a futuristic metropolis that will have you alternately picking your jaw off the floor and reaching for your camera. History Meets Glitz Doh

Destination Downlow - The Peloponnese, Greece

17 May 2025

A Journey Through History and Beauty This week I’ve been looking at the incredible Peloponnese in Greece as a holiday destination for a client. I always like to look into the history of a place and learn as much about it as I can. The history of the Peloponnese really is fascinating and it gave me the idea to do a bit of a weekly destination downlow looking at a different place every week. Trav
