West Yorkshire
Excited to plan your next adventure. Wherever you want to go, I’ll make it perfect for you
My name is Michelle and I am an self employed independent Travel Counsellor based in Leeds.
With over 30 years of travelling experience, I have explored destinations including Kenya, Thailand, Hawaii, Caribbean, North America and much of Europe, with South America next on my list later this year when I will get to experience Peru and Brazil. New York in particular (5 times now !) is an absolute favourite of mine. Seem to manage to find something new to add to each visit.
I love sharing first-hand tips and honest advice from my own experiences accross the world to help you enjoy a trip that feels truly perfect for you, but Travel is deeply personal, which is why I design every itinerary around you. As your Travel Counsellor, I listen to your ideas, add my knowledge and inspiration, and turn them into trips that feel unique rather than ‘off the shelf.
I have a real passion for travel and for all the research and planning that goes into creating the ideal itinerary. Let me take care of the details, remove the stress from your busy schedule and design a holiday that fits you perfectly.
When you trust me to plan your trip, I will personally research and arrange every element, from flights and hotels to those special finishing touches. My aim is for you to simply arrive, relax and enjoy your favourite cocktail, confident that everything has been taken care of,
You can rest assured that with the backing of the Travel Counsellors Financial Trust every penny that you spend with me will be safe. And if the unforseeable happens and you have an issue in resort and I am not available there is a 24/7 duty office that you can call. You dont need to sit for hours on your holiday trying to sort an issue. Myself or the Duty team will be about to look after you.
Because I run my own business, I can be flexible around you, offering appointments in the evenings and at weekends to suit your schedule so if you are ready to start planning your next escape, give me a call, send an email or drop me a message and I will arrange an initial consultation to bring your next holiday to life.
I look forward to hearing from you soon
Michelle

Why use a Travel Counsellor
Let's plan your dream trip together
Tailor-made for you
Your holiday isn’t just a trip away. It’s a longed-for escape, time to reconnect with loved ones, or a dream adventure you never thought possible. That’s why I take the time to truly get to know you and understand your hopes and expectations, then use my experience, connections and passion for the destination to create a trip that makes those dreams a reality.
Personalised service. Always
When you plan a holiday with me, you’ll be given my personal mobile number from the very first call. I’ll listen to your thoughts and ideas like I would a friend and arrange accommodation, activities, and flights that are all personalised to you. And I’ll share my personal tips and recommendations, so you can experience the true beauty of each destination.
Stress-free travel, and more time for what matters most
I believe your time away should be stress-free, easy, and seamless from start to finish. So, I take care of all the details for you - from ATOL protection, insurance, and flexible payments to access to the myTC app, which keeps everything in one place.

If the unexpected happens, you can rest easy, knowing that I’ll handle any last-minute changes, flight cancellations, or disruptions before you even pick up the phone. So you always feel happy, carefree, and ready to make the most of every moment.
