Erika Hernandez-Osorio

I am a qualified counsellor with experience supporting young people through personal, educational, and career-related challenges. I understand the pressures young people face during important transition points, including GCSE choices, college pathways, and preparing for employment.
I have previous experience in careers advice, CV writing, and helping individuals recognise their strengths, build confidence, and make informed decisions about their future. I have also volunteered delivering Steps to Employment support through CAP, helping people overcome barriers, develop employability skills, and work towards their goals.
As a mother of two, I bring a compassionate, patient, and relatable approach to supporting young people. I aim to create a safe and encouraging space where individuals feel heard, valued, and empowered to achieve their potential.
My approach combines empathy with practical guidance, helping young people develop resilience, confidence, and the skills needed to navigate education, career choices, and life beyond school.
