Vanessa Couper

It's Nice To Meet You

Hi, my name is Vanessa and I am an independent Travel Counsellor based in Heath Charnock near Chorley. I’m originally from West Yorkshire but moved here 10 years ago to follow my dream job in travel!

I have over 14 years experience working in the travel industry, starting out as cabin crew with Easyjet for 7 years. I then worked for Thomas Cook before becoming part of the fantastic Travel Counsellors head office team. I recently decided to combine my passion for travel with my love of planning and become a Travel Counsellor.

I have travelled extensively from exploring some amazing cities such as Paris and New York to amazing sun holidays in Mexico & Santorini! My favourite place is definitely Las Vegas. I’ve been 3 times so far and don’t think I’d ever get bored of going there! I have also just returned from my amazing honeymoon in Dubai & the Maldives.

Being a Travel Counsellor is far more than just being a travel consultant; I am your personal Travel Concierge. From the planning stages of your holiday to the day you return home, I am here to ensure your travel experience in entirely stress free. I can also arrange additional elements of your holiday such as car hire, private transfers, airport hotels & parking, airport lounges and excursions. I want to plan your perfect trip without all that stressful time spent looking through endless websites. I work flexible hours which also means I can be available at a time to suit you.

Being a member of the Travel Counsellors family means I am not tied to suppliers so I can tailor your holiday to completely suit your needs. I have connections with all major tour operators as well as small, independent, niche and specialist travel companies that can’t be booked online or on the high street.

Throughout my time in travel my focus has been on providing the highest level of customer service. It is such an important factor to me when I travel and I believe it is how my customers should be treated. For me, it’s more than just creating a holiday, it’s creating your perfect memories that will last a lifetime. So whatever your travel needs, be it a city break, beach holiday, cruise, wedding or honeymoon or business trip please get in touch to start making those dreams a reality!

My customer stories

Vanessa was very knowledgeable and professional and answered any questions we had. She also took the time to explain the advantages of booking with yourselves over some of your competitors. A great first experience and we will definitely ask Vanessa to help us with our future holiday plans.

Vanessa was very helpful in arranging my travel to the Isle of Man. She took everything in hand which took the stress out of all that had to be done in order to travel. I would definitely recommend her.

I’ve scored so highly as I’ve never known such an easy way to book a holiday including flights and excursions and insurance. I’m so impressed with the communication and friendly travel consultant

A few weeks ago, I asked Vanessa to help me organise a 3 night break in September to Harrogate for myself and my Mum. My Mum celebrates her 80th birthday later this year so I wanted this trip to be extra special for her. Vanessa was fantastic. Not only did she find us a cottage situated perfectly for visiting the RHS Harlow Carr (the main focus of the trip) but the cottage itself is on a country estate with fabulous gardens. This is perfect for Mum. A big thank you to Vanessa for listening to what I wanted and finding the perfect property. I am also very impressed with the technology that underpins Travel Counsellors - the app is fantastic allowing for easy payments and storing all the details of your trip. Communication is also faultless. I would not hesitate to recommend Vanessa. Whilst this year the booking had to be in the UK, I look forward to booking my next holiday with Vanessa for somewhere further afield.

The customer service my wife and i received from Vanessa was second to none, The whole process from picking the location, hotel etc (which we changed quite a few times) was pain free. The great thing was Vanessa was always there to help out and point us in the right direction with our booking and the cost was a lot cheaper than other websites we had looked at. All in all i would really recommend booking your next trip with Vanessa.

Vanessa has just helped me and my partner book a break in the Cotswolds early next year. Vanessa was brilliant throughout the whole process and found properties to meet our needs and more! It really is the best way to book travel now as Vanessa does all the hard work by looking for the holiday and then we can confirm the holiday very quickly and pay! In the past trips have been put off and put off because my partner and I didn’t have the time to sit down and scroll through all the options so working with Vanessa really is a life saver! She is very professional and has a genuine passion for travel, so it’s really nice to talk to someone who gets as excited about the trip as you do! Vanessa was very responsive and would get back to me very quickly if I had a query - a truly 5 star experience.

Honeymoon Part 2 - The Maldives

20 December 2021

In November 2021, we were very lucky to spend 7 nights at Atmosphere Kanifushi in the Maldives as the second part of our honeymoon. It certainly didn’t disappoint, and our only regret is that we didn’t book to stay for longer! We took the 35 minute seaplane from Malé which was such an amazing experience! For anyone who has a fear of flying, I would probably recommend somewhere reachable by speedb

Honeymoon Part 1 - Dubai

I’ve recently just returned from Dubai which was the first of 2 stops on our honeymoon! We were super lucky to be travelling Business Class with Emirates which was an absolutely amazing experience! Firstly we were chauffeured from home to the airport which feels so special.

Stunning Santorini

Santorini had been on my ‘’list’’ for a while when we finally decided to take the plunge and visit the beautiful Greek island in 2018 and my goodness, it did not disappoint! We decided to stay in Imerovigli which is located on the North West of the island and boasts the best views of the sunset and the caldera as well as having that iconic Santorini feel with the whitewashed buildings with blue

New York, New York!

25 November 2020

It’s almost one year ago since I last went to New York. Visiting New York at Christmas time is magical and definitely a bucket list trip and I’ve been lucky enough to do it twice now. From the extravagant displays in shop windows to the aroma of offerings from the street food vendors you feel like you’ve been picked up and placed right in the middle of a Christmas movie! Both times I’ve visited
