Whether they're struggling with anxiety, losing confidence, or just not living up to who you know they can be — Justin gives teenagers the tools to change that. Fast. In a way that actually suits how teenagers think.
I speak with you — the parent — before your teenager is ever involved. No pressure. No commitment. Just an honest conversation.
"I just want my teenager to be okay. To believe in themselves. To walk into a room and not be fighting themselves the whole time. I want them to have the life I know they're capable of."
They've stopped leaving the house. School refusal. Cancelled plans. A bedroom that's become a hiding place. You knock and get silence or anger.
They hold back in every situation. Too scared to speak up, join in, or put themselves forward. You watch them shrink when you know they have so much to offer.
They overthink everything. Exam nerves that go beyond nerves. Replaying every social interaction. Imagining the worst before anything has happened.
Their confidence just isn't there. Not the child who'll back themselves. Quick to give up, assume they'll fail, or decide they're not good enough before they've even tried.
They've shut you out completely. Every conversation ends in "I'm fine" or a door slamming. You can feel the distance growing and don't know how to close it.
You've been told to wait for CAMHS. Months on a list, watching things get worse, being told there's nothing to be done in the meantime. There is.
Your teenager doesn't need to be "fixed." They need the right tools — and someone who understands how teenagers actually work. That helplessness you feel watching them struggle isn't weakness. It's love with nowhere to go. There is somewhere for it to go.

Your teenager doesn't need to be fixed. They are not broken. They are capable of far more than they're currently showing — they just need the right tools, and someone who understands how they actually work.
— Justin Toner
Teenagers don't want to sit and talk about how they feel week after week. They want to stop overthinking. Walk into a room without panic. Believe in themselves again. Justin's approach works at the level of the patterns themselves — not the story around them.
Anxiety isn't a personality trait. It's a specific response pattern generated by a specific part of the brain. Justin's techniques work directly with that response — interrupting and rewiring it, rather than talking around it.
Most teens experience a measurable shift during the first session itself — not weeks later. They leave with something that actually works, that they can use immediately, that doesn't require years of practice.
Because it doesn't feel like therapy. There's no couch. No probing questions about childhood. No homework. Teens often describe it as "finally someone who gets it" — and they look forward to coming back.
The techniques learned in session become permanent tools your teenager owns. Not dependency on a therapist. Not a crutch. Real, lasting skills that work in real situations — exams, social anxiety, everything.
That's exactly what the free parent call is for. Ring Justin and ask him anything.
📞 087 687 8369 — Free Parent ConsultationThis isn't a criticism of counsellors — many do important work. But for teenagers with anxiety that needs to shift now, the difference matters.
Every family gets a free follow-up session 30 days after their final session. No charge. No conditions. Justin checks in with your teenager to make sure the results are holding, answers any questions, and tops up any techniques if needed.
No other specialist in Donegal offers this. It's Justin's way of standing fully behind his work — and giving parents the peace of mind that the job is genuinely done.
Every review below comes from a Donegal family Justin has worked with.
"Our son had panic attacks every morning before school for six months. Two sessions with Justin and they're gone — completely. That was four months ago. He's back playing football and laughing again. I cannot recommend Justin highly enough."
"My 16-year-old son had completely withdrawn — dropped off the GAA team, stopped seeing friends, barely left his room. After one session with Justin he was a different young fella. By the second session he was back training. I genuinely didn't think it could happen that fast."
"Seven months on a CAMHS waiting list. A friend mentioned Justin. Within three weeks our son was back playing GAA and sleeping properly. Justin's follow-up call a month later meant everything — we weren't just left wondering if it would last. It did."
"My 15-year-old had crippling school anxiety for over a year. We'd tried two other therapists. After one session with Justin she went back to school. I genuinely couldn't believe it. He has a way of explaining things to teenagers that nobody else has."
"My son is 14 and had been struggling with social anxiety since starting secondary school. He refused to engage with the school counsellor — said it was pointless. He came out of his first session with Justin actually smiling. Two sessions later he's like a different young lad. Calmer, more confident, back himself again."
I'm Justin Toner, based on Pearse Road in Letterkenny. I've spent years working with anxious teenagers — and I specialise in this area because I kept watching the same thing happen: families in Donegal trying to get help for their teenager and finding nothing that actually worked.
CAMHS waiting lists stretching to a year. Counsellors who were kind but couldn't move the needle. Teens who refused to engage with therapy at all. And parents — loving, desperate parents — watching their child disappear into anxiety and not knowing what to do.
I trained in techniques that work at the neurological level — not talking about anxiety, but directly interrupting and rewiring the brain patterns that create it. The results were so different from anything I'd seen before that I made it my full-time focus.
I always speak with parents first. Every family gets a free, private conversation with me before their teenager is ever involved. You can ask me anything. There is no pressure and no commitment until you're completely satisfied that this is the right step.
I'm here in Letterkenny. I know Donegal. I know what families here are dealing with when it comes to getting mental health support for their teenagers. And I know I can help.
Ring Justin. Ask him anything. No script, no sales pitch — just an honest conversation.
📞 087 687 8369 — Call or WhatsAppNo packages. No open-ended commitments. Most teens need just two sessions.
Justin works with a limited number of teens at a time to ensure every family gets his full attention.
If after the first session you don't feel it was worth every cent — full refund. No awkward conversation. No questions asked. I've never once been asked for a refund in my career. But the fact that I offer it without hesitation should tell you something about how confident I am in this work.
Call or WhatsApp 087 687 8369. Justin speaks with you privately — without your teenager. You explain what's happening. He listens, answers every question you have, and tells you honestly whether he thinks he can help. No pressure. No script.
In-person sessions at Justin's office on Pearse Road, Letterkenny — private, relaxed, nothing clinical. Online sessions via video call for families who prefer it or live further afield. Same-week appointments are almost always available. Most teens relax within the first ten minutes.
Within 24 hours of every session, Justin writes up a document specifically for your teenager — covering every technique they worked on together, in language that makes sense to them, tailored to their exact situation. It's sent to you to pass on. Not a generic handout. Written for your child. Something they can return to any time they need it.
Most teenagers leave their first session with techniques that work immediately. Most families are done in two sessions total. One month later, Justin rings to check in — at no charge — to make sure everything is holding. Then your teenager gets on with being a teenager.
The preferred option for most Donegal families. Face-to-face in a private, comfortable office setting.
Equally effective for most teens. Ideal for families further from Letterkenny or teens with severe school refusal.
