D&D General What would you call a cross between a Diviner and a Psychic?

I feel a Diviner can see glimpses of the future, the past, maybe lore about a person or object, but, they don't excel at moving things with their mind.

So, a Psychic (or Psionic) can move things with their mind, lift objects, throw things, etc.

What is a good median between the two?

Clairvoyant?
A clairvoyant a person who claims to have a supernatural ability to perceive events in the future or beyond normal sensory contact.

Clairvoyance is the claimed ability to gain information about an object, person, location, or physical event through extrasensory perception. Any person who is claimed to have such ability is said accordingly to be a clairvoyant. Wikipedia

Yes, but it doesn't really meet the marrying of the two, the Diviner and the Psychic (Psionic).

Not all Psychics can do this. This is a Telekinetic. Telekinesis is also called Psychokinesis, which can cause confusion when talking about Psychic powers in general.

And Psychometry is the ability to gather information about an object just by holding it.

I don't really see a way to combine any of the various ability names together into something new that makes sense, though, so sticking with one of the general terms that can describe a Psychic may be what you have to work with.
