Hi! My name is Helen and I live in Milton Keynes.

I set up my own travel business after leaving my previous career in teaching. I wanted to do something that made people smile and after all, that is what holidays are all about. I was also blown away by the ethos of the company and the fact that with Travel Counsellors, it IS personal. I won’t try and sell you the holiday that a specific company wants me to sell. I will help to create the holiday that YOU want instead. As a Travel Counsellor I have access to destinations and experiences all over the world

I am particularly passionate about Disney and cruises. We are regular visitors to Walt Disney World in Florida as well as visiting Disneyland Paris. For me, the presence of a Mouse on my holidays is perfect! My children have grown up at Disney and it is always present in our family memories. I would love to help create your next family memory – whether it is flying through the skies of Pandora, encountering the Pirates of the Caribbean, or escaping from the Death Star and the clutches of the Empire.

Cruising is also a fantastic way to holiday and I particularly love Northern European cruising and all things Scandinavia.

If you’ve thought cruising is only for the older generation then it is time to rethink. My favourite, and most sailed cruise line is Disney Cruise Line. If you think they are just for families, then think again – the best cruise I did without the children was a Disney one :)

Basically, I can talk about Disney and cruising all day long!

One of my other top destinations is the Maldives which I visited for my honeymoon – absolute bliss! My favourite city destination is New York and I can give great advice on Broadway shows to see while you are there.

I can also help if you need advice when travelling with autistic adults or children. I am autistic and my son who is also autistic has grown up going to Disney and cruising. Both of these types of holiday can be scary for someone who is autistic and I can help you navigate things so you can be best prepared for your holiday.

However, whatever you are interested in, big or small, I can help as I have a team of experts around me to draw on. I will listen to what you want and then create an itinerary that is perfect for you. I think the personal touch is really important and if you are local then I’m more than happy to meet you in your home or your office – or even a nice coffee shop. As I’m not in the high street I am free to work around you.

By booking with Travel Counsellors you are getting access to a wider range of choice than you will with high street travel agents. You will also be dealing with me rather than a call centre. I will take all of the stress and strain out of the holiday from searching for amazing excursions to checking you in at your resort. We have people on the ground at resorts all over the world who will be there to help you 24/7: they are locals who really understand the destination. Should something go wrong you can be assured that our 24/7 team based in Manchester will sort you out if you can’t get hold of me.

We are ATOL affiliated and have the best financial protection in the industry – during the pandemic every Travel Counsellor customer received a 100% refund. No vouchers here!

I look forward to helping you create your next set of memories and fulfilling your travel dreams.
