About Francis
Francis Mutero is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with 13 years of experience. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship and family concerns, depression, grief and other life challenges.
He uses approaches drawn from attachment-based work, client-centred practice, cognitive behavioural therapy and emotionally-focused ideas. Sessions are conversational and practical. He aims to help people talk through difficult feelings, identify patterns and try small changes that fit daily life.
Clients who come with issues around intimacy, sleeping, parenting, anger or self-esteem find straightforward ways to address those problems. He also supports people coping with bipolar mood concerns, compassion fatigue, ADHD and the practical strains that follow separation or loss.
Francis pays attention to family of origin themes, abandonment and attachment problems, and the effects these have on current relationships. He also works with people affected by addiction, domestic violence, dissociation and eating or food-related concerns, focusing on clear steps and communication strategies.
He offers sessions in English, Ndebele and Shona. Francis draws on a mix of humanistic and evidence-informed methods to match what each person needs. To begin, people complete a short questionnaire and then schedule a first session to agree goals and a working plan.
How his approaches translate to online counselling
Francis draws on attachment-based work, client-centred practice and cognitive behavioural techniques. Attachment-based work looks at how early relationship patterns shape current trust and closeness, and helps people notice and change interaction habits. Client-centred practice focuses on listening and reflecting so the person can find their own solutions and decide what matters most. Cognitive behavioural techniques help identify unhelpful thoughts and try small behavioural experiments to reduce anxiety and phobic reactions.Finding the right approach is part of the process. He will discuss goals and preferences in the first sessions and decide together which methods to try. This collaborative planning helps match methods to the practical problems someone brings, whether that is social anxiety, sleep disruption or relationship tension.

In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into daily routines, allow shorter check-ins when needed and reduce travel time. They also let people choose whether to use video or audio depending on bandwidth and comfort. Registered or accredited professionals including counsellors and therapists will work with each person to plan how sessions fit into their life.
