About this course

This intensive three-day course offers a comprehensive introduction to the fascinating world of graphology \emdash the study of handwriting and its psychological implications. You will learn to interpret handwriting traits and apply these insights.

Course Description

If you are interested in exploring the connections between handwriting, psychology, pathology, and physiology—whether for personal curiosity, professional growth, or to deepen your understanding of others in both personal and professional settings—this is an excellent resource.

It is an objective method of profiling. Using aspects of psychology, this three-day graphology course explores the human psyche and the multi-layered facets of thoughts and feelings. You will learn about outlook on life, motivational attitudes, persona, relationships, skills and aptitudes. This course gives you hands on practical experience in analysing handwriting and recognising in some degree, aspects of health in handwriting.

There will be a certain amount of working with others in pairs and in groups with discussion and in practical analysis. By the end of this course, you will have a foundational understanding of graphology and some skills to analyse handwriting. Join us for a journey into the art and science of handwriting analysis.
