ELZABE OPPERMAN

After a 24year career in mostly financial services, banking and insurance, I stepped into that calling in 2017 and founded The Talking Point when I qualified as a Family Law Mediator. What began as a Family Law and Divorce Mediation practice has evolved into an integrated mental health, mediation, and wellbeing ecosystem built on one foundational belief: #HUMAN1ST. Our work is rooted in the Biopsychosocial Model of Health, integrating emotional, psychological and social support. Providing professional services across all 9 provinces, 24/7/365, serving individuals, families, employees, and organisations. Since 2017, we have touched more than 300,000 lives! Not through transactions, but through transformation. Not through theory, but through presence, compassion, and sustainable solutions. The tragic loss of my husband changed my life forever and, in that grief, I understood something profound: God had been preparing me all along. The Talking Point was never just a business. It was a purpose placed at my feet. Today, we serve so many different industries, bridging the gap between mental health and mediation, ensuring support is accessible, affordable, and life changing. I am a proud African. A servant leader. A believer in restoration. And above all - passionate about people. We don’t just offer solutions. We change lives - one conversation at a time.
