How We Vet Our Psychics: Inside Our 4 Stage Process

Date: 22 July 2026

Overseen by Master Psychic Stevie Fraine

Every psychic on Crystal Clear Psychics goes through a four stage vetting process before they're allowed to take a single call. A written application, two separate test readings, and a two week trial period, all overseen by our Master Psychic, Stevie Fraine. We'd rather maintain a smaller team of genuinely gifted readers than a long list of unverified names, and this is how we make sure of that before anyone joins the site.

Why We Vet Every Psychic Before They Join

Not every psychic platform screens its readers this closely. Some let almost anyone sign up and start taking calls, with little more than a form and a photo standing between an advisor and a client. We take a different approach, because a reading only has value if the person giving it is genuinely gifted, and the only way to know that is to test it properly, in person, before they ever speak to a client.

The Four Stages, Explained

Every reader who joins Crystal Clear Psychics goes through the same process, regardless of how experienced they are elsewhere:

• Initial application — every prospective reader starts with a full application, covering their background, experience, and the methods they work with.
• Stage 1: first test reading — a genuine, unscripted test reading, assessed on accuracy, clarity, and how the reader connects with a real question.
• Stage 2: second test reading with Master Psychic Stevie Fraine — a further reading, this time assessed personally by Stevie, whose own decades of experience as a professional psychic and medium set the bar for what we look for.
• Stage 3: two week trial period — successful candidates move to a live trial, giving real readings under observation before they're confirmed as a permanent member of the team.

Only readers who pass every stage are invited to join permanently. It's a deliberately high bar, and it means every advisor you see on the site has been tested by someone who genuinely understands what a good reading looks like.

It Doesn't Stop at Hiring

Vetting isn't a one off box to tick. Stevie leads our ongoing Psychic Training Academy, offering continued coaching and development to readers throughout their time with us. Standards are something we maintain, not just check for once at the start.

What This Means For You as a Client

When you call or chat with any advisor on Crystal Clear Psychics, you're speaking to someone who has been personally tested. You won't find every reader's style is the same, and that's by design; what they will all have in common is that they've been through the same rigorous process before they were ever allowed to take a call.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know a psychic on Crystal Clear Psychics is genuine?

Every reader has passed our four-stage vetting process, including two separate test readings, one of which is personally assessed by our Master Psychic, Stevie Fraine, before they're allowed to take their first client call.

Is every reader tested in the same way?

Yes. Regardless of experience elsewhere, every psychic who joins Crystal Clear Psychics goes through the same application, testing, and trial process.

Does vetting happen only once, or is it ongoing?

Vetting gets a reader through the door, but it doesn't stop there. Our Training Academy, led by Stevie, provides ongoing coaching and development for the whole team.

Who decides whether a psychic passes?

Test readings are assessed by our team, with the second stage reading personally overseen by Master Psychic Stevie Fraine, whose own professional experience shapes what we look for in a genuinely gifted reader.

Does this mean every reading will feel the same?

No, and it shouldn't. Every advisor has their own style and approach. What vetting guarantees isn't a uniform experience, it's that whoever you speak to has been properly tested before they ever took a call.
