It's Nice To Meet You
Welcome and thank you for taking the time to read this
Being a Travel Counsellor has been my dream job for many years and I’ve had the privilege to be able to work in the Travel Industry for over 35 years. I remain passionate about what I do and take immense pride in serving my clients to the very best of my ability in order to meet their specific needs and wishes. Overall, I am committed to going the extra mile in order to create the perfect trip to suit their requirements. Getting to know my clients is really important to me, either by phone, Zoom or in person. This enables me to gain a deeper understanding of what is needed to put the perfect holiday together. I work very differently to the High Street and the online companies and am able to work with you at a mutually convenient time but largely at a time which suits you. I also specialise in tailor made itineraries and bespoke holidays. However, I must stress that no enquiry is too small.
Being a Travel Counsellor means that I work individually so you only get myself at the end of the phone or email. In support of my personal and focused service, we have a fantastic customer service backing from Travel Counsellors Head Office. This provides the Travel Counsellors 100% financial guarantee in that all holidays are financially secured. It’s a real privilege to work with an award-winning company and for one of the largest travel providers in the UK with 5 star Trust Pilot reviews and having been established over 30 years.
Being a Travel Counsellor allows me to work independently with many tour operators, and as we have a trusted and long-standing relationship with many ground handlers all over the world, I can put together those unforgettable holiday moments for you. A key part of my job is to enhance and suggest amazing and awesome moments that will stay in your memories for years to come. A few examples which I’ve worked on include arranging for clients to sit amongst 100,000 king penguins in South Georgia, to ‘live local’ on Lake Titicaca in Peru, to island hop in Indonesia or to go rafting on the Zambezi River in Zambia. I can arrange all of these experiences and so much more.
In addition to holiday experiences, I have also worked closely with groups and business travelers over many years. This is an important part of my service and I often work with bespoke needs for travel across a number of continents for both short and lengthy duration trips. I have worked through many of the challenging times which have impacted countries and the travel industry. This includes the impact of 9/11, the Ash Cloud, Tsunamis and of most recently COVID-19 and related Government travel policy decisions. None of us could have imagined the level of disruption on travel which we’ve encountered. I have been able to provide advice on changes to travel, respond to client needs and navigate through the range of often complicated policy restrictions. but being available for my clients allowed me to advise and rearrange around the restrictions in place, giving them the reassurance that they are not alone.
I look forward to arranging trips for this year and beyond. It is a pleasure and a privilege to do the job I do. Travel has been a huge part of my life and I would be delighted to hear from you, whatever your travel enquiry. Finally, I am reminded of the words of Saint Augustine: "The world is a book and those who do not travel read only one page".
I look forward to hearing from you soon
Thank 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.
