Travel planned with precision and care!

Hi, I’m Katie from Travel Counsellors

Based on the edge of Edinburgh in beautiful West Lothian, I specialise in creating unforgettable, tailor-made holidays designed entirely around you. As an independent Travel Counsellor, I have the freedom to choose from a vast network of trusted suppliers, allowing me to offer you exceptional choice and flexibility while ensuring every detail is expertly looked after.

I can arrange consultations to fit seamlessly around your schedule from a chat over the phone, a relaxed coffee in person, or a virtual catch-up. I’ll always work in the way that suits you best.

Before joining Travel Counsellors, I had a career in logistics and global movements, so organising complex travel is second nature to me. I truly appreciate the importance of getting the details right, and being a reliable point of contact if plans need to change. Alongside travel, I also helped run my family’s award-winning hospitality business here in the UK, so exceptional service is at the heart of everything I do.

Having travelled to every continent, I’m passionate about sharing my insights to help others make extraordinary memories. My own journeys have been wonderfully varied: from magical family adventures in Orlando, to our cherished annual ski holidays and sun-soaked All-Inclusive escapes; right through to thrilling explorations in Peru. Whatever your travel dreams, you can count on my experience and personal touch to create something truly unique and special, just like you.

Why book your holiday with me?

When you travel with me, you can expect:

100% financial protection for total peace of mind
Bespoke, personalised service that’s dedicated to your needs and aspirations
Flexible support, with advice and help available whenever suits you
Above all, genuine care and attention from someone truly passionate about helping you create lifelong memories

If you would like my help to arrange your holiday, get in touch today.

An Affordable Orlando Alternative: Lapita and Dubai Parks & Resorts

If you’ve ever looked into a family holiday to Orlando, you’ll know how quickly the numbers add up. By the time you’ve included flights, park tickets, dining plans, and accommodation, it’s not unusual for a family break to stretch well into five figures and that’s before you even think about spending money. But what if there was another way? Somewhere with world-class theme parks, sunshine, spark
