Our Counsellor
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, relational difficulties, and life transitions such as settlement challenges, separation or marital crisis.
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
For couples counselling, I use:
-
Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT)
-
IMAGO Relationship Therapy
Who I Am
Drawing from my diverse life experiences — growing up in China, immigrating 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 space where you can feel safe, heard, and supported — and where meaningful change can take place.
