It's Nice To Meet You

Hi, I’m Katie from Travel Counsellors – your friendly, go-to personal travel expert.

I create unforgettable, 100% tailor-made holidays designed just for you. Whether you’re dreaming of a relaxing beach escape, an intrepid off the beat and track advenbrure, big family trip, or a once-in-a-lifetime journey, I’ll build your perfect itinerary with care, creativity, and a personal touch.

Before becoming a Travel Counsellor, I worked in logistics and global movements—so planning complex trips is second nature to me. I understand the importance of getting the details right and having someone reliable to turn to if things don’t go to plan. I also help run my family’s award-winning UK-based hospitality business, so I know what it takes to deliver exceptional service every step of the way.

I’ve travelled extensively—setting foot on every continent—and I love sharing that knowledge to help others create unforgettable memories. Whether it’s a family trip to Orlando, skiing or cycling in the French Alps, or an adult-only adventure through Peru, I’ll use my experience to design something truly special for you.

Why choose me?

When you book with me, you’ll get so much more than just a holiday. I offer:

100% financial protection, so you can book with total peace of mind

Truly personalised service, tailored to your needs, interests, and dreams

Flexible support, meaning I’m here when it suits you—whether that’s evenings, weekends, or in between school runs

And most importantly, genuine care and attention from someone who’s passionate about helping you make lifelong memories

I was apprehensive about going through a travel agent as I also enjoy the planning of a holiday, but Katie was fantastic and nothing was overlooked, which made the whole holiday fantastic. I'll certainly be recommending Katie to friends and family and will definitely be using her again.

Family Holidays in the French Alps: Why the Grand Massif is Perfect in Summer

02 September 2025

When you think of the French Alps, skiing usually comes to mind. But did you know the Alps are just as spectacular in summer; especially for families? With warm sunshine, crystal-clear lakes, wildflower meadows, and safe mountainside villages, it’s the ideal spot for an active yet relaxing trip. One of my family’s favourite areas is the Grand Massif, home to the beautiful alpine village of Samoën
