About Me

Kia ora, 您好, and welcome — I’m Mei Long, a registered NZAC counsellor. I am also a qualified counsellor in China, having received training in 2009. I believe that every person holds the capacity to heal, grow, and flourish — even in the face of life’s most difficult challenges.

I work with both individuals and couples, supporting clients through a wide range of concerns, including depression, anxiety, emotional dysregulation, ADHD, PTSD, complex trauma, relational difficulties, and life transitions such as settlement challenges, separation or marital crisis.

Drawing from my diverse life experiences — growing up in China, migrating to New Zealand in young adulthood, working across various industries, and navigating motherhood and marriage in a blended, multicultural family — I bring deep empathy and lived understanding to the therapeutic space. These experiences shape the way I listen, relate, and support each person’s journey with openness and respect.

Together, we will create a mindful space where you can feel safe, heard, and supported — and where meaningful change can take place.

My Approach

I specialise in trauma-informed and culturally appropriate therapy. My pluralistic approach means I tailor each session to meet your unique needs, drawing from a range of therapeutic models, including:

  • Trauma-Informed Stabilisation Treatment (TIST)

  • Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

  • Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)

  • Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT)

  • Internal Family Systems (IFS)

  • Transactional Analysis (TA)

  • Narrative Therapy

  • Creative and Expressive Therapy

  • Mindful-Somatic Approaches

 

For couples therapy, I integrate trauma-informed parts work with:

  • Relational Life Therapy (RLT)

  • Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT)

  • IMAGO Relationship Therapy

Foot Tracks on Sand

Ms Y, NZ

“2023 was the darkest year of my life. However, I consider myself lucky because I had the privilege of meeting Mei, who guided me and helped me emerge from the darkness. It's like she slowly pieced together the shattered me, creating a new version – brave, strong, believing in love and warmth.
After more than half year's counselling, I gained a clear understanding of myself and learned to treat myself kindly. Mei helped me shift from blaming my original family to appreciating my parents, giving me a greater ability to perceive happiness and beauty. I believe everyone needs counselling because professionals like Mei help us understand ourselves. Mei is a great listener who documents all my changes and provides periodic summaries. Because of her, I can love this world again."
