whenever I get confused or lost.... he always gives me sound advice and gets me back on track!
When in a state of confusion or when one is unable to make a decision alone ...(in a quandary) there is someone you can rely on, who will give you good, balanced opinion... to help you get focused again.
He is always on hand to give advice. - on hand means nearby and available.
By saying he is always on hand to give advice you re saying he is always available to help you.
When we describe someone as a rock - we mean they are a permanent person who is always in our life and there to offer support and advice to us when we struggle.
e.g. When I was a teenager I found life very hard but my mother was my rock and got me through this difficult time.
I hope this helps

My brother always supports and advises me if necessary
When I reach out my brother is always there
There seem to be two factors in this communication: advice and support. Both sentences inform the listener of this. The second sentence is less obvious but those two factors would certainly be included if someone is 'there' for a person who is 'reaching out'.
I trust my brother's advice, he's always there for me.
I can count on my brother's advice, he's always there to help me out.
I can rely on my brother's advice.
The three sentences you see above are great ways to express to your listener that your brother always gives you good advice. In the second sentence you will see the term count on. When we can count on someone or something that means we can fully rely on someone or something. This is a term we use often in our everyday conversation and would make a great addition to your vocabulary.
上の3文は、兄（弟）がいつもいい助言をくれることを表す、素晴らしい言い方です。2文目では、「count on」という単語が使われています。「count on someone/something」は、その人（もの）をすごく信頼していることを表します。この表現は日常会話でよく使われていて、あなたの語彙リストに加えるといいでしょう。
