Maxine Mei-Fung Chung

Maxine Mei-Fung Chung is an English author, known for her suspense-thriller novels. She has a background in psychoanalytic psychotherapy, clinical supervision, and training psychotherapy. Maxine's expertise in the field has led her to lecture on a wide range of topics including trauma, gender and sexuality, clinical dissociation, and attachment theory. Her work as a psychotherapist has also seen her awarded the Jafar Kareem Bursary for her efforts in supporting people from ethnic minorities experiencing isolation and mental health problems.

Before her career in psychotherapy, Maxine was a creative director for ten years, working at prestigious companies such as Condé Nast, The Sunday Times, and The Times (London). This artistic background has no doubt contributed to her successful career as an author.

In her private practice, Maxine has a particular interest in the creative feminine and advocates for women and girls finding their voice. She currently resides in London with her son.
