counselled
Offered professional advice
Counselled is the past tense of counsel, meaning to advise or guide someone, especially on serious personal or professional matters: She counselled him to wait before making a decision.
The spelling with double L is standard in British English; American English uses counseled.
Counsel carries more weight than simple advice—it suggests thoughtful guidance from someone with relevant experience or expertise.
