About me.
I have a BA (Hons) degree in Social Anthropology and a background in education. I have worked for many years as an A level teacher and I have also acted as a Principal Examiner for OCR. I have been studying graphology since the early 1990s when I happened to pick up a book on Graphology from a local bookstore. It inspired me to learn more. Since then I have obtained a professional qualification in handwriting analysis (DipIGA) and I am currently Chairman of the IGA. I have acted as tutor and latterly senior tutor to the IGA, helping students through their exams.
In my professional capacity, I undertake security screening for a major International department store.
I am also experienced in a wide range of handwriting analysis and report writing for companies and individuals. Currently I am researching into the similarities and dissimilarities of identical twins, whose ages range from 12 to 99.
"My sister and I were frankly astonished at how accurate your findings were and then when our husbands read them they thought the same. Some of your findings caused heated debate and quite a bit of soul searching - it's kind of psycho-analyses by biro! If you have any other openings for twin research we would be willing to take part."

Desire for attention
This writer wishes to attract the notice of others. Acceptance is craved because it helps to reduce feelings of insecurity. All sorts of tactics will be used to play to the gallery.
Graphology is the fascinating practice of analysing character from handwriting.
Once we have learned to write, our writing style becomes distinctive and instantly recognisable by those who know us. It symbolises who we are. As we write, we leave an imprint of our personality on the page. It is then up to the graphologist to discover the essence (the portrait as it were) of the writer at the time of writing. Graphology is a powerful tool because it provides clues as to why people behave as they do, but it can also make a difference to our own search for self discovery. If you would like to know the ways in which graphology can benefit your business, then please go to the SERVICES page.
I like to spend time poring over a specimen of writing. This can be done with either a magnifying glass or a magnified image on the computer screen. This is vitally important because I can discover the minute changes in pressure and emphasis of every single stroke of the pen. For a full analysis, measurements of strokes are carried out using a Sten Scoring system. If you would like to become a handwriting analyst, then please go to the COURSES page where you will see that I am offering two types of distance learning courses.
Advantages of Handwriting Analysis
(Personal & Business)
- It does not involve testing or complicated questionnaires - for candidates it is non-threatening and non-intrusive.
- Handwriting cannot be easily disguised or manipulated to give a false impression.
- The writing can be produced at a time and place to suit the writer and is not usually affected by nervousness (as speech may be).
- A handwritten document is permanent and can be re-examined later.
- Handwriting analysis is objective - based entirely on a sample of handwriting. It is not influenced or prejudiced by physical factors such as appearance, age, sex, social class, race, colour etc.
- Handwriting reveals inner conflicts and tension hidden below the surface.
- Graphology can determine attitudes and other important factors that can affect social and working relationships.
- It is easy to administer and involves very little time, effort or paperwork.
- At work it aids efficiency by helping managers select and place people where skills and personal qualities can be fully utilised and developed
