What does “counsel” mean?

What does it mean a solicitor instructs “counsel” and what’s the value of doing this?

I’ve got a complex case and I’m searching around for potential legal representatives.

Some law firm websites I’ve seen have said that for complex cases they might instruct counsel. If that means a barrister, why wouldn’t I just go to a direct access barrister then?
