Found me? Relax. Your travel style, your way, without the planning stress.

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 19, 17 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 get to know what a true holiday means for you: I will listen to what matters most to you and create a trip that feels truly your own, combining how you like to travel, what lights you up and how you want to feel while you are away. With fresh, first‑hand insight from recent trips to Mauritius, the Maldives and Italy’s Cinque Terre, I design holidays that feel thoughtful and original. Every trip is carefully considered and tailored, whether it is a relaxing beach escape, a chic city break, a cruise or a multi‑stop adventure, so your holiday feels genuinely personal and right for you.

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.

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.

Lesley & Ben Moore

Waterlooville, Hampshire

Katie was exceptional in discussing, arranging and following up on my travel requirements. My first request was to travel to Melbourne from London. A relatively straightforward task and one that I would have done myself previously. This removed all the time wasted on research and making choices. Everything was great including the choice of flights, seating class and seat location. Communication was brilliant. This is now my default for all future travel and holiday choices.

Katie Bennett goes above and beyond in order to find a holiday to fit all requirements and budgets. No question or query is too big or small - Katie is definitely our go to for all our travel requirements!!

Sarah E

Plymouth

Katie Bennett our travel counsellor found us the most amazing place to celebrate our 20th wedding Anniversary. We stayed for 5 nights at the Ostraco Suites in September. We loved that the hotel was small which made it feel so relaxed and personal. The staff were amazing and went above and beyond. Shout out to Alex who recommended a restaurant on the last night and organised for us to have a table over looking the harbour. When we arrived we had a choice of two tables and were made to feel very special. I don't know what that put in the water but we really switched off and relaxed. Cannot wait to leave our next travel plans in Katie's safe hands.

Carla Clark

Sarah Eccles

Samantha Mead

Abergavenny

Katie has been so helpful. I saw a post that a friend had shared and went from there. Katie then took the time to find out what we wanted from the holiday. Even when we went back to her, changed our minds (on numerous occasions) and ask for more info, she continued like it was our first time of asking. Katie is very professional, responds quickly and is very thorough. I would definitely recommend her to anyone who is looking for a personalised experience with a friendly, efficient travel consultant. Thank you Katie
