These words have similar meanings, but counsel is used for a more formal situation, such as the advice given by a professional adviser. Counsel has some legal, academic, or moral weight. But anyone can advise; that may be just an opinion that someone offers. Advice may or may not be of any significance. All counsel is advice, but not all advice is counsel.

Advice is more informal and general guidance given to someone, while counsel is more formal and involves providing specific recommendations or strategies. Counsel is often given by a professional or expert in a particular field, while advice can come from anyone.
