Frequently Asked Questions

Graphology is the study of handwriting to understand personality traits, behavioural patterns, and psychological tendencies. It's based on the principle that handwriting is "brainwriting"—the unique way your brain expresses itself through your hand. Every element of your writing (pressure, size, slant, spacing) reveals aspects of your personality.

Graphology is practised widely but isn't universally accepted in mainstream psychology. Research shows mixed results. We present it as a complementary tool for self-understanding and development, not a diagnostic medical tool. Many clients find it valuable regardless of the academic debate.

Graphology is analysis—understanding what your handwriting reveals about you. Graphotherapy is intervention—deliberately modifying handwriting patterns to influence thoughts, emotions, and behaviours. Think of it as analysis vs action.

We work with children aged 5-16. Typically Year 1 onwards (when they're beginning to form letters). The approach is adapted to their age, Year group, and individual needs. Even teenagers preparing for GCSEs benefit from handwriting improvement.

Most children show noticeable improvement within 4-6 weeks of weekly sessions. Full transformation typically takes 8-12 weeks. Progress depends on practice consistency, age, and starting point. We provide weekly progress updates.

Yes, daily practice (10-15 minutes) is essential for progress. We provide fun, engaging exercises that don't feel like extra homework. Most children enjoy them once they see their handwriting improving!

Yes! We've worked successfully with children with various learning differences. The approach is personalised to their needs. We're not occupational therapists, but graphology techniques can complement OT work. We may request to collaborate with their school SENCO.

The analysis examines 50+ personality traits including: thinking style (analytical vs intuitive), emotional patterns, confidence levels, communication style, social tendencies, stress coping, decision-making, creativity, leadership potential, and more. You receive a detailed written report (8-12 pages).

Handwriting changes appear within 2-3 weeks of daily practice. Psychological/behavioural changes typically emerge after 6-8 weeks as new neural pathways form. The 10-15 minute daily practice is crucial—consistency matters more than duration.

Absolutely not. Graphotherapy is complementary, not a replacement for medical or mental health treatment. If you're under NHS care or seeing a therapist, please continue. We work alongside professional care, never instead of it.
