It's Nice To Meet You
Hello and thank you so much for visiting my webpage. I’m Michelle, and travel isn’t just my profession—it’s my passion.
While everyone loves a holiday, I believe an extraordinary trip is so much more than just time away. For me, it’s about the joy of piecing everything together: from handpicked flights and inspiring hotels to immersive activities and memorable dining. Every detail matters and my mission is to make sure each element is perfectly tailored to you, creating a holiday experience you’ll cherish for years to come.
As your local Travel Counsellor, I take pride in truly getting to know you and understanding your travel dreams and preferences.

I’ve been fortunate to explore destinations like Australia, the Maldives, Lapland, Las Vegas, New York, Mexico, Disney, Orlando, the Caribbean and much of Europe. One of my most treasured adventures was a three-week family road trip along California’s coast—starting in San Francisco and weaving down to sunny San Diego. I poured my heart into planning every detail and it made all the difference. That experience confirmed what I already knew: a well-planned trip isn’t just easier, it’s unforgettable.
Let me take the stress out of your travel planning—whether it’s a quick city break, the perfect family holiday, a dream wedding or honeymoon, a luxury cruise or something unique and adventurous. From the UK to far-flung escapes, I’ll be with you every step, offering regular updates, the best value, and the reassurance that you’re in safe hands.

Michelle is fab. She is very knowledgeable and easily contactable. She responds really quickly to queries and nothing is too much trouble for her. When booking a holiday I always like to look at different options and Michelle is always on hand to get the details and send them over. Would highly recommend Michelle.

I cannot thank Travel Counsellors enough, especially Michelle, for making our trip so amazing and stress-free. Booking far in advance was a breeze, and having all the paperwork sent directly to our house beforehand was incredibly convenient.
Traveling was exceptionally easy, thanks to the well-sorted documents. It made everything smooth and organized, which took a huge weight off our shoulders.
We had an absolutely amazing time, staying in a beautiful hotel in a stunning city. Every detail was perfect, and it's all thanks to the exceptional service and attention to detail provided by Michelle and the entire Travel Counsellors team. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a seamless and unforgettable travel experience.

Michelle was incredibly helpful , nothing was too much trouble. She booked our trip to Amsterdam and managed to book a really nice hotel located centrally and flights for a great price. She checked us in for our flights and made our trip really easy. We are now using Michelle to organise a special trip to New York. Would definitely recommend. We will not be trawling the Internet for a holiday again!

Michelle was extremely helpful and knowledgeable about our dream holiday. Not really knowing where to start and just a few ideas of things we wanted to do, she made it all so easy. Changing things and tweaking here and there, we now have a perfect holiday package. We are really looking forward to it coming around.

We met Michelle at a wedding fayre in early 2023, we hadn't intended on talking honeymoons that early on but we did. Michelle was warm and friendly and wasn't pushy at all. We came away with her details and when we were ready to book we reached out! Michelle's service has been impeccable from start to finish - not only did she listen to our wants and needs from our honeymoon, she made it personal and got to know us on the way.
Our honeymoon to New York in March 2024 was PERFECT! Everything was arranged from flights checking in ad seat selections, transfers to and from the hotel. Everything was printed and hand delivered incase technology went wrong and the service even continued on our return.
Michelle couldn't have done enough for us and we would 100% recommend her and be coming back again.
Thank you Michelle, your one of a kind!

Michelle has been amazing and I have used her to book 3 holidays now, Mexico, Lapland and a hen do for 5 people in Miami. She answers my questions quickly and is so helpful and friendly. She also did me a lovely laminated booklet on Lapland to give to my children at Christmas to show them where we were going. We will continue to use Michelle and have recommended her to my friends.

As first time cruisers, researching cruises was a bit of a minefield with so many different things to consider…
Michelle took the stress away, did the research for us and built the perfect holiday based on our own individual requirements.
If you’re wanting an excellent personal service I highly recommend Michelle ??

5 Star service and I didn’t even need to leave the house! Michelle is well travelled with a fountain of knowledge and is very passionate about finding the perfect holiday. She has just sorted Disney for us and I wouldn’t go anywhere else to book my holidays now. She managed to save us a considerable sum and has got us exactly what we’ve been looking for. Every enquiry was dealt with almost immediately and by the end of the process there was nothing unanswered or that I was unsure of. Very very happy and so glad we have had Michelle’s help. Thanks Michelle!

A Mother-Daughter Escape to MYND Tenerife

Sometimes the best trips are the ones that allow you to completely switch off, recharge, and simply enjoy being together. That’s exactly what my daughter and I found during our four-night stay at MYND Tenerife—a calm, sustainable, and beautifully designed hotel.

Sailing on Scarlet Lady: A 5-Night Adventure from Lisbon
