And the one that is most needed, most in demand, and most rewarding to practise.
"I had spent hundreds on other things that did nothing. I genuinely wish I had found this sooner. My daughter told me last week she feels like herself again. I had not heard her say anything like that in a long time."
Niamh · Parent, Ireland
If you work with people and want to add a specialism that is in genuine demand across Ireland and the UK, this training is built for you. You do not need prior experience with teenagers. You need experience as a practitioner and the willingness to learn a methodology that works differently from conventional approaches.
Minimum 12 months of practice experience required. No prior experience with teenagers necessary.
This is not a criticism of conventional therapy. It is an observation that most practitioners working with teenagers already know from their own experience.
Talk-first approaches work with adults motivated to explore their inner world. Most teenagers are not. They want the anxiety to stop. When the format does not suit the client, engagement drops and results do not follow.
Understanding why you are anxious does not make you less anxious. Anxiety lives in the nervous system, in automatic patterns, not primarily in the story the teenager tells about it. Working only at the level of the story leaves the pattern intact.
The window of motivation that brings a teenager to a session is narrow. If results do not arrive quickly enough to reinforce that motivation, the process stalls. Fast, felt results in the first session change everything.
"The ETB employed me to keep teenagers in school. Word spread from school to school. My private practice grew bigger than the institutional work. Not because I went looking for clients. Because the results created their own momentum."
Justin Toner — Teen Anxiety Specialist, Letterkenny, Co. DonegalEvery story below is true. They are the kinds of results practitioners who complete this training will be able to produce.
Talented teenage dancers who froze under competition pressure. After working with Justin, they went to the World Irish Dancing Championships and came home with medals.
A school principal came to Justin about a young Gaelic footballer whose belief simply was not there in competition. A few sessions later the principal rang back. He was playing with strength and confidence. The same principal referred again.
A fifth-year student with deep shyness and a history of bullying. After two sessions, he got up and played guitar in a band in front of all his school mates. His teacher said he looked like a rock star.
The Education and Training Board hired Justin as a school therapist to work with students at risk of not completing school due to anxiety and panic attacks. Word spread until his private practice grew bigger than the institutional work entirely.
These are the outcomes practitioners who complete this training will learn to produce.
I bought this not really expecting much. We had tried apps, books, breathing exercises, the works. The toolkit was different. My daughter said it actually made sense to her, which is more than anything else has managed. She is back in school full time and she has stopped dreading every morning.
Declan · ParentMy son would not talk to anyone about how he was feeling. A therapist was completely off the table. I found the toolkit, worked through it with him over a few evenings, and within two weeks he was sleeping better and to our surprise starting conversations with me again. I had not had that in over a year.
Sarah · ParentOur grandson was barely leaving his room. We downloaded the toolkit and just started quietly working through it together. No pressure, no big conversations about feelings. Just the tools. Three weeks later he is out the door every day and making plans with friends again.

Justin has worked exclusively with teenagers for almost 20 years, from his practice in Letterkenny, Co. Donegal, and online across Ireland. His career began when the ETB employed him as a school therapist to reach students at risk of leaving school due to anxiety and panic attacks.
Word spread from school to school through results alone. Teachers, principals, and parents referred to Justin because they had seen what happened when teenagers worked with him.
This methodology is the result of almost 20 years of clinical practice with teenagers, drawing on multiple established therapeutic modalities, curated and adapted specifically for how teenagers think, feel, and respond. It is shared exclusively with practitioners who complete this training.

This is not a course you work through alone. It is a personal one-to-one training with Justin delivered via Google Meet: two focused live sessions covering everything you need to start getting meaningful results with teenage clients from your very first session.
You study the Master Framework before this session. Session One is where Justin walks you through every technique in detail, demonstrates how they work, and ensures you can deliver them confidently. You will feel what your clients will feel. That is the moment it becomes real.
Session Two is about your practice. How to attract teenage clients, position yourself as a specialist, build referral relationships, and get set up professionally from day one. Justin goes through your Practitioner Starter Pack with you so everything is ready to use immediately.
Sessions are delivered via Google Meet at times arranged directly with Justin. Justin is committed to covering everything fully so sessions run until the work is done.
Every practitioner who completes the training receives the full suite of materials developed over almost two decades, plus a complete set of practice-ready resources you can use with your first teenage client the week after training ends.
The complete methodology: every technique, every script, every session structure, every teen adaptation. Your clinical reference for every session you ever run with a teenager. Study this before Session One.
18 techniques written entirely in teenager language, with analogies, exercises, and prompts. The template for the personalised take-home document you send after every session.
A complete one-page website copy template structured on direct response principles with placeholder text you personalise. Hand it to a designer or drop it into Wix or Squarespace and you are live within a day.
A ready-to-send one-page referral document for schools, GPs, family resource centres, and youth services in your area. Your fastest route to a local referral network.
Professional outreach emails for schools, health professionals, and parent organisations. Written in the approach that gets responses. Ready to send in your own name from day one.
A professional intake form to send parents before Session One, covering what to expect, the teenager's presenting issues, and consent. Sets the right tone before you even meet the client.
The personalised post-session document template with prompts showing exactly what goes in each section. This is what you write for every teenager within 24 hours of each session.
Ten post ideas to build your local presence as a teen anxiety specialist. Written to position you as an authority without sounding clinical or salesy.
There is nothing quite like working with a teenager who came in unable to leave the house and watching them walk out with their life back. A parent's message telling you their son is playing football again. Their daughter is making new friends. Their child went back to school. That is the kind of outcome that reminds a practitioner why they went into this work.
Teen anxiety work commands strong fees because the demand is enormous and the supply of practitioners who can deliver fast results is tiny. CAMHS waiting lists are at crisis point across Ireland. Practitioners who consistently get results with teenagers often find referrals become their primary source of new clients. The demand is real, the supply of effective practitioners is limited, and word spreads fast when a parent sees their child change.

No. The prerequisite is at least 12 months of practice experience working with clients, not necessarily teenagers. The methodology is designed to be implemented immediately by any experienced practitioner, and Session Two covers specifically how to attract teenage clients and adapt the work to your current practice context.
As soon as you enrol, Justin sends you the Master Framework Document to study before your first live session. This gives you the full methodology in your hands from day one and means Session One is a deep practical working session rather than an introduction.
Sessions are scheduled for 60 to 90 minutes but Justin is committed to covering everything fully. If more time is needed to complete what needs to be done, the session continues. There is no clock-watching.
Because this is a genuinely personal training built entirely around your practice, your clients, and your existing skill set. Justin also runs his own active teen anxiety practice. Three is the honest maximum that allows him to give every practitioner his full attention. It is not manufactured scarcity. It is a real capacity limit.
If after Session One you do not genuinely believe this training will improve your work with teenagers, tell Justin and he will sort it out. He is confident enough in the methodology to stand behind it fully.
Yes. Justin is available by email after your training for questions about specific clients or techniques. He is genuinely invested in the practitioners he trains getting results, because the reputation of the methodology depends on it.
The training is delivered via Google Meet and is open to practitioners across Ireland and the UK. Everything in the Practitioner Starter Pack can be adapted to your local market.
Written in the language teenagers actually respond to. Useful for parents at home and practitioners who want immediate techniques to use with clients before completing the full training.
