Dr. Blurton works with a wide variety of issues, including attentional problems in adults and children, parenting skills, blended families, divorce or couples' counseling, alternative lifestyle preferences, mood disorders, and helping couples, families, and individual adults and children adjust to the stresses of modern life in Hong Kong. She has an eclectic and personal approach to therapy, focusing on the specific needs and strengths of individuals, couples, and families. As a therapist, she sees her role as one of guide, supporter, and interpreter, assisting clients to find their own solutions to the problems and emotions that may confront them. When working with children, adolescents, and families, Dr. Blurton is also able to call on her personal experiences as the parent of six children in a blended family. Because children both contribute to and grow within the family system, she sees family involvement as an important part of work with children and adolescents. In addition to her Masters and Ph.D. in Psychology, Dr. Blurton holds a Masters degree in Special Education and has considerable experience in working with education for the gifted, children with specific learning disabilities, and children with attentional or behavioral disorders. Having lived on four continents, Dr. Blurton is well versed with the stresses and adjustments that accompany living outside of one's home country. Dr. Blurton considers one of her primary goals to be to help clients, be they younger or older, clearly understand and evaluate the choices available to them. Services Offered
