About Francis

Francis Mutero is a counsellor who works from a humanistic, integrative stance. He uses a mix of approaches to help people manage stress, anxiety, addiction and low mood. Francis has 13 years of experience supporting clients through relationship strain, grieving and life changes.

He listens without judgement and aims to create a calm space where people can talk through painful issues. He describes his style as warm, respectful and compassionate, and focuses on helping people find practical ways to cope.

Background and approach

Francis often draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships affect current patterns. He also uses client-centred work to prioritise the person’s experience and cognitive behavioural techniques to identify unhelpful thinking and behaviour. These approaches are used alongside existential perspectives when people want to explore meaning and purpose.

People bring many concerns, such as parenting stress, sleeping problems, anger, intimacy issues and career pressures. Francis also supports those dealing with grief, bipolar mood challenges, compassion fatigue and ADHD-related struggles. He can address a wide range of family-origin and relationship difficulties in individual sessions.

Francis practises in the United Kingdom and is listed with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. He offers sessions in English, Ndebele and Shona and can work with international clients when that is suitable. He provides video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging.

To start, a person completes a short matching questionnaire and then arranges sessions according to the scheduling process.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Attachment-based work looks at how early bonds shape current relationships and patterns. It helps when people struggle with intimacy, abandonment feelings or repeated conflict. Client-centred therapy focuses on the person’s own experience and pace, offering empathic listening and reflection to build confidence and clearer choices. Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, helps identify unhelpful thoughts and habits and introduces small experiments to change them.

Finding the right blend of methods is part of the work. Francis will discuss goals and preferences and choose approaches together with the client. That collaborative process helps make sure the sessions match what the person needs and wants to try.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and reading non-verbal cues, while phone sessions can fit into a busy day and need less bandwidth. Live chat and messaging suit briefer check-ins or when someone prefers writing to talking. These options add flexibility and make it easier to keep therapy going around work, caring duties or travel.
