It's Nice To Meet You

Hello and thank you so much for visiting my webpage.

I’m Julia, an independent Travel Counsellor based in Brackley, where I live with my husband Michael and golden retriever Farley.

I’ve worked in travel for 40 years, and for the last 10 years I’ve had the privilege of looking after my own clients as a Travel Counsellor. During that time I’ve learnt that it is often the little details that turn a good holiday into an unforgettable one. That is where I come in.

When you book with me, you are not just a reference number. I take the time to really get to know you, what you love, what you are not so keen on, and what a perfect holiday looks like for you. I will look after everything from start to finish, keeping things simple, clear and stress free, so you can just enjoy the build up to your trip.

I’ve been fortunate enough to visit many wonderful destinations throughout the UK, Europe, North America, the Caribbean and the Far East. I combine this first-hand experience with honest feedback from my customers to give you tailored, realistic advice. Whether you are looking for a simple package, a bespoke itinerary, a cruise, flights or hotels, I will carefully piece everything together for you.

I really believe in good old-fashioned customer care that you simply do not get when you book online.
I believe in building long-term, trusted relationships with my customers.
I believe that understanding you properly means I can recommend holidays that I would be genuinely happy to take myself with my own family.

I am available when it suits you, often at times when traditional agencies are closed. I am also very happy to meet up locally if you prefer to chat in person. There is nothing I enjoy more than talking through holiday ideas over a coffee and helping to bring them to life.

You will also have peace of mind knowing that everything you book through me is fully protected, so your money is 100% safe.

So when you start thinking about your next trip, I would love to be part of that journey with you. With me, it is a relationship, not a transaction.

I look forward to hearing from you and helping you plan something really special.

Lorraine Blackwell

Always friendly and helpful and quick to reply to queries and goes the extra mile to get answers directly from the hotels. Was very supportive on our last holiday when our return flight was turned around due to issues at Heathrow - was messaging us as soon as she'd heard the news and reassured us that things would get sorted and get us home.

Karen Lindsay

As always, its a pleasure to book a holiday with Julia. She always goes above and beyond with all her background preparation into the booking and nothing is too much trouble for her.

Jullie Savins

Always contactable with my numerous queries/ concerns and worry re our first cruise, but Julia soon allayed any fears, talked thru simple processes via TC app. What’s not too like? We’ll done Julia.

Beverley Howard

Julia Cooper has been absolutely first class, a credit to the Travel Counsellors business. One of the main things for me was that she listened and understood my requirements and was willing to fine tune the options available until we found the best flight's for my trip. She was always there at the end of the phone or via e-mail whenever I needed to speak to her. Julia is a complete credit to your company and I will definitely be using her again and recommending her to friends and family.

A brilliant service. Julia makes the service so personal, and goes above and beyond every time. Thank you

Lauren Murrey

Banbury

Julia has transformed holiday bookings for us. She is so thorough in all she does and we now always book holidays through her if we can. It’s so easy to think you can do it yourself, but even though we’re experienced travellers she always thinks of something we’ve forgotten or not even thought important.

Fiona Storey
