I will encounter you in your world and embrace who you are.
Kia ora, 您好, and welcome — I’m Mei Long, a registered NZAC counsellor in New Zealand and a qualified counsellor in China.
Mei works 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.
About Mei
Mei Long graduated from Auckland University of Technology and is a member of the New Zealand Association of Counsellors. She is also a qualified counsellor in China, having received training in 2009.
Drawing from her 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 — Mei brings deep empathy and lived understanding to the therapeutic space. These experiences shape the way she listens, relates, and supports each person’s journey with openness and respect.

Testimonials
"Mei is absolutely a trustworthy listener. Her kind and positive attitude made us feel completely safe! Over several months, she used her expertise and professionalism to guide us through a rare 'emotional journey,' which has been immensely helpful for us and our entire family! It has also given us the strength to move forward in our future lives!" - Mr & Mrs X, 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." - Ms Y, NZ
“Mei is a very patient listener. She listened carefully to the problems and ideas I encountered in life, and guided me with professional advice. I improved my self-awareness and my life became brighter. I am very grateful to have met Mei, and I hope she can also help other people in need." - Ms G, NZ
