Hi,

I'm not sure what you want.

How about this?

I am given advice and information by my mother.

I am consulted by my mother on the best choice as a gift for my daughter's birthday, but my mother-in-law buys the most ridiculous things without asking us!

I serve as a conultant to my mother when it comes to her electronics purchases.

If 'I consult my mother' means that I ask for information, then 'I'm consulted by my mother' means that my mother asks for information. Right?
