How it's used
Focuses on professional or structured guidance rather than casual advice. It is frequently used in educational and psychological contexts to describe a formal process of helping someone overcome difficulties or improve performance. Unlike casual chatting, this implies a specific goal of steering someone toward a better path.
Examples
They have been under a lot of pressure lately; it would be better to find someone to counsel them.
Will the teacher coach the students who are doing poorly?

Common mistake
Avoid using this for casual peer-to-peer advice, as it sounds overly clinical or academic. For everyday friendly advice, use 傾下 or 畀意見 instead.
