Bahareh Amidi

Speaker, Poet & Reflective Writing Facilitator

Dr Bahareh Amidi is an international speaker, poet, author, and creator of Your Words, Your Voice, an experience that invites people to pause, reflect, and reconnect with themselves and one another.

At a time when the world is moving quickly toward artificial intelligence, Bahareh helps people move beyond burnout, stress, and noise, and return to the quiet intelligence of the human heart.

With a Ph.D. in Educational Psychology and a background in Counseling Psychology and the Healing Arts, Bahareh brings decades of experience helping people find meaning, clarity, and connection through words. Her work with pen, paper, presence, and poetry helps participants remember the power of their own voice and the wisdom of their lived experience.

Her work has been shared through books, talks, workshops, and short films, including the festival-recognised The Lighthouse and Freedom, Life. Her sessions are soulful, reflective, and deeply human. Participants leave with a tangible tool they can use anytime, anywhere, by themselves or with others: the page, the pen, and the voice within.
