Welcome to Wylde Roots
I managed an £85M corporate operation.
Then I left it all and moved to a off grid life in Portugal -
Featured twice on Ben Fogle: New Lives In the wild.
Now I help people build the lives they're actually excited to wake up to.
ALEXANDER SULLY
TRANSFORMATION COACH
& RETREAT HOST
Seen, Shared and Trusted
I grew up in the Lake District, raised on resilience.
Left for the corporate world — helped scale a global retail brand, managed 1,600 people, ran an £85M operation.
Travelled around the globe twice.
Then I walked away from all of it.
I've lived in three off-grid properties in Portugal. From a caravan in the forest to a farm to a stone house beside a river with spring water and solar power. Nothing to hide behind.
I trained in CBT, NLP, and life coaching. Ran a healing centre for five years. Learned what actually changes people — not the theory, the real mechanics.
Now I turn all of it into retreats, courses, and coaching that help people stop performing and start living.
A Quiet Retreat
in Portugal
is a one‑of‑a‑kind riverside retreat, created for people who feel the pull to step away from noise and return to something more grounded and real.
This is not a hotel or a programme—it is a simple, soulful space to rest, reflect, and reconnect with yourself, held by nature and the quiet sound of a flowing river. The environment invites you to soften without effort, offering private river access for swimming and contemplation.
The Wylde Path
If you’ve ever felt like you’re doing everything “right” but something still feels off, The Wylde Path was created for you.
Written by someone with Diplomas in CBT, NLP, Life Coaching and real lived practical experience.
This is a written, self-guided course — no videos, no noise, no pressure.
Just clear words, grounded guidance, and practical exercises to help you:
-
Recognize the patterns that keep you stuck
-
Rewire the mind using CBT- and NLP-inspired tools
-
Build a realistic path toward a more aligned life
-
Integrate change, not just chase it
Practice the Journey
For those who want to go deeper, Wylde Roots offers a growing collection of digital journals, guided workbooks, and published books for those who want to explore further.
These Practical Guides are designed to be used slowly and intentionally — as companions for reflection, creativity, and presence. Some focus on photography as a mindful practice. Others explore journaling, self-discovery and development, and reconnecting with the natural rhythms of life.
They are practical, grounded, and evolving — meant to be written in, returned to, and lived with over time.

As Seen In

Wylde Home
My photography has been my meditation for years. - a way of slowing down and truly seeing.
From dramatic landscapes to the intricate details of nature captured in macro.
Each image is an invitation to pause and reconnect with yourself and the natural world.
My work has been featured in top photography magazines including Digital Camera World, Practical Photoshop, Shutterbug to name but a few .
But the real reward is when someone puts a piece on their wall and feels what I felt when I captured it.
Each print is produced on carefully chosen materials that honour the depth and emotion of the original moment.
These aren't just decorations - they are reminders of what truly matters.
