Terms + Conditions
Last updated: 30 July 2026
These terms govern your use of www.antheasmyth.com. By using the website, you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the website.
1. About this website
This website is operated by Anthea Smyth, a sole trader established in Lisburn, Northern Ireland.
Business address: 24 Skyline Drive, Lisburn, County Antrim, BT27 4HH
Email: anthea@antheasmyth.com
ICO registration reference: ZC206017
2. What the website provides
The website provides general information about Anthea Smyth and the reflective consulting and related one-to-one work she offers. Its purpose is to help visitors understand the nature of the work and decide whether to make an enquiry.
Website content is provided for general information only. It is not medical, psychiatric, psychological, therapeutic, legal, financial or other professional advice and should not be treated as a substitute for advice tailored to your circumstances.
3. No professional or client relationship
Visiting the website, reading its content, submitting an enquiry or exchanging preliminary messages does not create a counselling, consultancy or other professional relationship.
A working relationship begins only when Anthea Smyth has agreed to work with you and the applicable client agreement has been accepted. Services are governed by that separate agreement, not by these website terms.
4. Not an emergency or crisis service
The website and enquiry form are not monitored continuously and must not be used to obtain urgent help. If you believe that you or another person is in immediate danger, contact the emergency services or an appropriate local crisis service.
5. Making an enquiry
You are responsible for ensuring that information submitted through the enquiry form is accurate and that you have the right to provide it. Please do not use the form to send detailed medical records, highly sensitive personal information or information about another person unless this is necessary and you are authorised to do so.
Submitting an enquiry does not oblige Anthea Smyth to accept or provide work. An enquiry may be declined where the service is unsuitable, availability is limited, a conflict exists or another professional or service appears more appropriate.
6. Permitted use
You may access and use the website for lawful, personal and non-commercial purposes. You must not:
· use the website in a way that breaches any applicable law or regulation;
· attempt to gain unauthorised access to the website, its server or any connected system;
· introduce malware, malicious code or material intended to damage or disrupt the website;
· scrape, harvest or systematically extract website content or personal information;
· impersonate another person or misrepresent your identity or affiliation;
· use the website to send unlawful, threatening, abusive, defamatory or misleading material; or
· use website content to train, develop or improve an artificial-intelligence model or dataset without prior written permission.
7. Intellectual property
Unless otherwise stated, the website and its original text, design, branding, graphics, audio, video and other content are owned by or licensed to Anthea Smyth and are protected by copyright and other intellectual-property laws.
You may view the website and print or download a reasonable extract for your personal, non-commercial reference. You must not reproduce, republish, distribute, adapt, sell, license or commercially exploit any substantial part of the website without prior written permission.
Nothing in these terms transfers ownership of any intellectual-property right to you. Any third-party names, marks, images or content remain the property of their respective owners.
8. Accuracy and availability
Reasonable care is taken when preparing and maintaining the website. However, website content may become incomplete or out of date, and no particular result is promised from relying on it.
The website may be changed, suspended or withdrawn, and access may occasionally be interrupted for maintenance, security, technical or other reasons. There is no obligation to keep any particular content or feature available.
9. Links to other websites
The website may contain links to websites operated by other organisations, including LinkedIn. These links are provided for convenience and do not amount to control or endorsement of the linked website, its content or its privacy practices. External websites are governed by their own terms and policies.
10. Responsibility for loss
Nothing in these terms excludes or limits liability where doing so would be unlawful, including liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation. Nothing in these terms affects any statutory rights that cannot lawfully be excluded.
Subject to the paragraph above, Anthea Smyth is not responsible for loss or damage that is not a foreseeable result of a breach of these terms or a failure to use reasonable care and skill.
If you use the website for business or commercial purposes, Anthea Smyth is not responsible for loss of profit, revenue, business, opportunity, anticipated savings, goodwill or data, or for business interruption or indirect or consequential loss, to the extent permitted by law.
11. Privacy and cookies
Personal information collected through the website is handled as described in the Website Privacy Policy. The Cookie Policy explains the cookies and similar technologies used by the website and how you can manage your choices.
12. Changes to these terms
These terms may be updated when the website, the services or the law changes. The current version will be published on the website with its last-updated date. Your continued use of the website after an update means that the updated terms apply from that point.
13. If part of these terms is unenforceable
If a court or other competent authority finds that part of these terms is unlawful or unenforceable, that part will be treated as removed to the minimum extent necessary. The remaining terms will continue to apply.
A delay or failure to enforce a right under these terms does not waive that right.
14. Governing law and courts
These terms and any non-contractual dispute arising from the website are governed by the law of Northern Ireland.
If you are a consumer living in the United Kingdom, you may bring proceedings in the courts of the part of the United Kingdom in which you live. If you live elsewhere, the courts of Northern Ireland will have jurisdiction, subject to any mandatory rights available to you under the law of your country of residence.
