Is there such a thing as a PhD consultant?

A family member is having difficulty drafting an acceptable proposal for their doctorate.

Their advisor is remote (in both senses of the word) and not particularly helpful. It's difficult to schedule Zoom meetings, and there may be some fundamental communication issues. Changing advisors is not an option, and the advisor isn't actively sabotaging this person, so please don't suggest changing advisors.

Would it be possible to pay for an active, working PhD advisor to read and discuss a proposal in-depth? I'm thinking similar to the functions writing centers tend to perform, but with a working professional who actually does this and has students of their own, rather than other students.

(Any other approaches would be welcome.)
