It's Nice To Meet You

I’m Kate, your personal Travel Counsellor, here to make travel feel easy, enjoyable and completely “you” – whether it is a big once-in-a-lifetime adventure, a cosy UK escape or a business trip that runs like clockwork.

Travel has been a huge part of my life for over 30 years, including more than 20 years as a flight attendant for commercial and private airlines. I’ve looked after guests all over the world and picked up plenty of insider tips along the way, which I now love sharing with my clients.

I live by the sea in Sutton Poyntz, Dorset, with my two boys and our two cats. Family life helps me understand what really matters when you are away: feeling relaxed, safe, well looked after and able to enjoy every moment.

I plan everything from luxury holidays, honeymoons and family adventures to business travel, conferences and incentive trips. Think of me as your friendly go-to person for all things travel, here to take care of the details so you do not have to.

Why clients like travelling with me and Travel Counsellors:
• A genuine, one-to-one relationship, with no call centres
• 24/7 support if anything unexpected happens while you are away
• 100% financial protection and ATOL cover
• Trips designed around you, not sales targets
• A trusted company with 5* reviews and 30 years’ experience
• A caring approach to responsible, sustainable travel
• Simple, secure management via the Travel Counsellors App

If you would like help with your next holiday or business trip, I would love to chat: phone, WhatsApp, Messenger, email, Zoom or a coffee here in sunny Dorset – whatever suits you best.

What my customers say

Kate Palframan was exceptional from start to finish. A group of friends to celebrate special friend's 50th. Kate gave us different options, in terms of both locations and accommodation and within budget - all beautiful. We chose Marrakech on Kate's suggestion and it didn't disappoint. Every detail was taken care of - from the hotel, dinner arrangements, room details - the list went on! Honestly complete peace of mind thanks to Kate's attention to detail. Can't recommend booking Kate the next time you have a holiday coming up.

Great experience with Kate Palframan at Travel Counsellors. First time I have ever used someone to help plan my holiday. It’s a strange feeling (for me!) not being in control but I have to say I got used to it very quickly. Good advice, very personal and friendly, felt heard, seamless organisation. Then checking in while on holiday to ensure all was ok, sorting out a minor issue for us, and staying up until 2am to ensure we got good seats on the plane was beyond expectations. Thank you Kate!

Katie has been amazing at packaging everything I needed together for me. Absolutely fabulous and will definitely recommend her to friends and family

Travel Counsellor Kate Palframan was brilliant from the moment we consulted her. We wouldn’t travel with anyone else She was a pleasure to work with and was always available and happy to answer my totally ridiculous questions at silly times. Kate made the whole process stress free and found the best deals. We will definitely be using her again to plan our 50th anniversary trip. We would never hesitate to recommend Kate or Travel Counsellors, nothing is too much trouble; the knowledge and up to date information they can draw on is vast, this makes a huge difference. I have nothing negative to say. Thank you for all your hard work you do, and the joy you bring. Kate you are truly amazing JH (Trust Pilot)

Wonderful Safari Experience. Really great itinerary put together by the wonderful Kate. We had the most memorable experience on safari in Botswana. All the lodges were top class, and away from civilisation so great animal viewing experience as well. Kate kept her eagle eye on where we were the whole trip and was there to help , without being intrusive. Travel Counsellors and particularly Kate highly recommended.

Katie is just the best! Always listening to my needs and wants, trying to adapt the holiday to what would suit us as a family with her wealth of knowledge and experience. Can’t recommend her highly enough. Thankyou

Kate always goes above and beyond normal service to organise anything we ask for!

First time using Travel Counsellor, while I love doing my holiday research it can be quite stressful to make the right decision at times and good and bad reviews for the same product can be confusing. So it was really good to get the help from a professional and while they may not know your destination themselves?They have a wide network of people who do so the advice is invaluable. And it’s easy to use, much more personal than a travel agent. So far brilliant service.

Kate has answered any questions I’ve had. She knows her stuff not that I’ve been on the holiday yet but I’d use her again Instead of a standard travel agent!

M Marquis

Weymouth

Katie has been super helpful and professional organising flights, hotels, transfers, visa and airport parking for 2 people from my company travelling to 2 different destinations. The schedule was constantly changing and Katie dealt with this in a professional manner and nothing was any problem for her. I would love to use Katie to support my business for future trips. Many thanks Katie! Steve
