We travel not to escape life, but for life not to escape us.

Welcome, I’m Katie, your personal Travel Counsellor, based on the beautiful south coast of Hampshire. Travel is my healthy addiction which I am hugely passionate about, and I never tire of the excitement and variety it brings, something I now happily share (or inflict!) on my three children, who are 18, 16 and 13.

As a busy person myself, I know that while travel should feel exciting, the planning can easily start to feel overwhelming. My passion is turning all those ideas, screenshots and “one day” dreams into a perfectly organised trip that feels effortless for you. I do the research, the comparisons and the organising, so you can simply enjoy the anticipation and, of course, the holiday itself.

I love to really get to know what makes a perfect break for you: how you like to travel, what you enjoy, and what you want to feel when you are away. My own recent travels have taken me to Mauritius, the Maldives and Italy’s beautiful Cinque Terre, giving me fresh, first-hand insight into everything from idyllic island escapes to character-filled coastal villages. Over the years I have planned a wide variety of holidays, from relaxing beach escapes and chic city breaks to cruises and tailor-made itineraries, each one carefully shaped around the individual, family, couple or group travelling. Whether you already have a destination in mind or are starting with a blank page, I can design your perfect trip to virtually anywhere in the world.

Alongside my own experience of travelling, and being part of a family of five with three teenagers, I really understand what makes a holiday work and how important it is to find the perfect fit for everyone. I will match you with the right destination and style of travel, then support you every step of the way from your first enquiry until you arrive home.

With me, it is genuinely personal. There are no call centres, no scripts and no being passed around. From the moment you first get in touch until you arrive home, I take care of every detail, fitting around your busy life and arranging calls at times that work best for you. My client testimonials really do speak for themselves, and with over 98% of Travel Counsellors reviews rated 5 stars on Trustpilot, you can be confident you are in safe hands.

I also know how hard you work for your holiday fund. Everything you book through Travel Counsellors is 100% financially protected by our Travel Trust Fund, alongside ATOL protection, so you can relax knowing your money and your plans are safe. While you are away, you will never be alone, with both myself and our dedicated duty office available 24/7 should you ever need support.

To complement and simplify working with me, our digital MyTC app brings your itineraries to life and when you are ready to book, keeps all your travel documents neatly organised in one place, helps you stay paperless and acts as a digital version of me in your pocket, so you can contact me quickly and easily whenever you need to.

If you are short on time but full of ideas, let me make travel exciting again rather than overwhelming. Whether you are craving time to switch off and do nothing, eager to explore somewhere new, keen to indulge in a little luxury, reconnect with loved ones or finally tick off a long-dreamed-of experience, I will listen to what matters most to you and create a trip that feels truly your own.

Simply give me a call or use the ‘Contact Me’ links below. I'd love to hear from you. Please feel welcome to take a look at my social channels for a flavour of the holidays I create and the places I love to share. I look forward to helping you plan your next unforgettable escape, with all the excitement and none of the stress.
