About Francis
Francis Mutero is a counsellor and psychotherapist who uses existential ideas alongside other human-centred approaches. He draws on 13 years of experience to help people facing stress, anxiety, addiction and relationship difficulties. Francis works in the United Kingdom and speaks English, Ndebele, South and Shona.
People come to him for depression, grief, sleeping problems and issues with intimacy or self‑esteem. He also supports those coping with life changes, parenting strains, anger and career concerns.
Background and approach
His practice includes support for ADHD, bipolar mood concerns and compassion fatigue. Francis blends client‑centred listening with attachment‑based thinking and practical cognitive behavioural techniques. Sessions aim to be straightforward and respectful.
He focuses on what matters to each person and helps them find clearer choices in daily life. In conversation he pays attention to patterns that come from early relationships and to how people make meaning now. That mix helps with family of origin issues, communication problems and difficulties like abandonment or control struggles.
People also explore practical steps for managing drug or alcohol addiction and other harmful routines. Francis describes his work as collaborative. He helps people build the skills to manage feelings and to make decisions that fit their values.
The goal is to support longer term change by working through problems rather than offering quick fixes.

Online support
Approach and online therapy options
Francis commonly combines Existential Therapy, Attachment‑Based Therapy and Client‑Centred work in online sessions. Existential Therapy helps people look at life choices, meaning and responsibility when facing stress or major change. Attachment‑Based Therapy pays attention to patterns that began in early relationships and how they affect current bonds and communication. Client‑Centred Therapy focuses on respectful listening and reflecting so people feel heard and can explore their own answers.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. He will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and decide collaboratively which ideas and techniques to use. That allows the sessions to be practical and tailored rather than one‑size‑fits‑all.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat or text‑based messaging to provide flexibility. Video calls allow face‑to‑face conversation, phone sessions suit lower bandwidth or a quicker check‑in, live chat works for short exchanges and messaging supports ongoing reflection between talks. These options make it possible to fit therapy into busy days and to continue support while travelling or living abroad.
