How people respond tells you something about them, so you don’t necessarily need to start with a clear picture of how they might respond.
Also, I think advice is the wrong framing for things that are useful to give, it’s better to make sure people have the knowledge and skills to figure out the things they seem to need to figure out. Similarly to the “show, don’t tell” of educational discussions, you want to present the arguments and not the conclusions, let alone explicitly insist that the other person is wrong about the conclusions. Or better yet, promote the skills that let them assemble the arguments on their own, without needing to concretely present the arguments.
It might help to give the arguments and even conclusions or advice eventually, after everything else is done, but it’s not the essential part and might be pointless or needlessly confrontational if the conclusions they arrive at happen to differ.
