Travel planned personally. Travel looked after properly.
Hello, I’m Tess – your personal Travel Counsellor and the person in your corner when it comes to your holidays!
For me, great travel isn’t just about finding a beautiful hotel or the best flight. It’s about taking the time to understand you – how you like to travel, what matters to you, what you want to experience and, just as importantly, what you don’t.
I’m friendly, approachable and easy-going, but I’m also a bit of a detail-obsessive when it comes to travel! I use my experience, knowledge and trusted travel partners to carefully piece together holidays that are personal, considered and completely tailored around you.
It’s the personal service that makes the difference.
When you book with me, you’re not left to navigate endless websites, reviews and booking systems on your own. I take the time to research, compare, advise and refine your trip – using my knowledge to help you make the right choices rather than simply giving you a list of options.
And my service doesn’t stop when you press ‘book’.
From our first conversation, through the planning and preparation, while you’re away and until you’re safely home again, I’m here for you.
That means one person who knows your plans. Someone you can come back to with questions. Someone who cares about the little details and wants your holiday to be everything you hoped it would be.
As an independent Travel Counsellor, supported by the award-winning Travel Counsellors team, I’m able to offer the personal relationship of a small independent business, backed by the expertise, support and financial protection of a much bigger travel company.
What you can expect from me:
• Personal, considered advice – based on you, not a generic holiday search
• Expert knowledge and attention to detail – so the important things are thought through
• Bespoke travel planning – from a relaxing escape to a completely tailored adventure
• Honest advice – including telling you when I don't think something is right for you
• Time saved – I do the research, comparing and organising, so you don't have to
• Support before, during and after your trip – because your holiday matters to me too
• A genuinely personal service – one person who knows you, your plans and your preferences
Ultimately, I want you to feel that your holiday has been properly looked after.
Whether you know exactly where you want to go or simply know that you need to get away, I’d love to hear what you’re dreaming about.
Let’s create something that feels completely you – and let me take care of the details.

Cappadocia: balloons, caves and quiet moments you never forget...
Cappadocia: balloons, caves and quiet moments you never forget There are some places that stay with you long after you have left, and for me Cappadocia is absolutely one of them. It is a landscape that feels otherworldly: softly sculpted valleys, ancient rock formations and cave dwellings that have been adapted into unique little hideaways. Add in sunrise hot air balloons drifting silently across

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.
Support when it matters most
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.
