Philip counseled/advised me to break up with Bobby and get a new boyfriend.

Hi,
Do both counseled and advised fit in the above and mean about the same? Thanks.

Without true love, life is meaningless and worthless since our physical world is nothing but a dream. ~~Angliholic~~簡瑞達

"Councel" is more formal and makes one think of experts like lawyers or psychologists. "Advise" would be much more common and "normal".
