Social & Pragmatic Communication Skills Therapy for Adults

Strengthening Everyday Interactions Through Clear, Confident Communication

Social communication involves more than speaking — it includes understanding tone, reading cues, maintaining conversations, expressing thoughts appropriately, and navigating different social or professional settings. When these skills become difficult, misunderstandings can occur, social interactions may feel draining, and daily communication can become a source of frustration or anxiety.

At American Wellness Center in Dubai Healthcare City, our Social & Pragmatic Communication Skills Therapy for Adults helps you build the practical skills needed for smooth, confident interactions. Whether challenges stem from neurodiversity, stress, language background, or social anxiety, we work with you to strengthen your communication in ways that feel natural and empowering.

Who This Service Is For

This therapy is ideal for adults who experience:

• Difficulty interpreting social cues, tone, or body language
• Challenges maintaining conversations or small talk
• Uncertainty about what to say in social or work settings
• Trouble understanding implied meaning, sarcasm, or indirect language
• Conversations that feel awkward, overwhelming, or exhausting
• Difficulty expressing thoughts clearly in group settings
• Social anxiety fueled by communication difficulties
