Gema Gutiérrez

Gema Gutiérrez was born in La Línea de la Concepción, Cádiz, in 1978, and earned her degree in Psychology from the University of Granada in 2000. That same year, she participated in workshops and provided psychological counseling at “Despierta,” a day center for substance-dependent patients undergoing detoxification.

To enhance her knowledge and professional experience, Gema attended various congresses and conferences covering different areas of psychology, including emotional intelligence, sexually transmitted diseases, eating disorders, and gerontology.
In Granada, she worked as a coordinator for initiatives focused on organization, development, and communication regarding HIV awareness and prevention.

Upon returning to La Línea de la Concepción, she worked on developing educational activities for children separated from their families. Her work with children expanded further in 2003 when she traveled to Northampton to work with children facing learning difficulties and reading skill challenges. During this time, she also furthered her professional training at St Andrew’s Hospital.

In 2012, Gema joined the team at the Dr. Hallin Medical Center, where she currently works as a child and adolescent psychologist. She also completed a Master’s degree in Child and Adolescent Psychology, organized by the Institute of Clinical and Health Psychology (ISPCS) in collaboration with the Spanish Association of Behavioral Psychology (AEPC) and the European Institute of Applied Psychology (IEPA).
