About Francis
Francis Mutero is a counsellor who works from a humanistic, integrative stance and uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy alongside other approaches. He aims to create a calm, non-judgemental space where people can talk through stress, anxiety, depression and relationship worries. He communicates simply and directly so parents and carers can understand what to expect in sessions.
Over 13 years of practice in the United Kingdom has given him experience with a wide range of concerns.
Background and approach
These include addictions, grief, sleeping difficulties, anger, low self-esteem and coping with life changes. He also works with issues linked to attachment, abandonment, family of origin and fatherhood matters. Francis draws on client-centred work and cognitive behavioural ideas to help people notice patterns and try small, practical changes.
He also uses existential perspectives to help clients find meaning when life feels confusing or empty. Sessions focus on clear goals and steady steps rather than jargon or long lectures. He is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - BACP.
That designation indicates his professional affiliation and commitment to the counselling field. He offers sessions in English, Ndebele and Shona for people who prefer those languages. Francis provides appointments by video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging.
International clients are accepted. To begin, people use the site Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and then schedule sessions according to the therapist's availability.

Online support
Emotion-focused and attachment work online
Francis often uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people notice and name strong feelings and how those feelings shape relationships. EFT can be useful for people who want to understand emotional patterns and improve closeness and communication. Attachment-Based Therapy is also central to his practice and looks at how early bonds influence current reactions; it can help when worries stem from trust, abandonment or repeated relationship cycles.He combines those approaches with client-centred methods that place the person's experience at the heart of the work. Finding the right approach is part of the therapy. The counsellor will work together with the client to decide which methods fit their goals, preferences and the issues they bring to sessions.
Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video lets people work face to face when that matters, phone can suit shorter check-ins or lower bandwidth, and messaging can fit into busy days or allow gradual sharing. These options make it easier to attend sessions from different locations and to fit therapy around family and work commitments.
