I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'one divining secrets' is the definition.
The answer is a person as well as being a singular noun. This is suggested by the definition.

'unfamiliar to her daughter' is the wordplay.
'unfamiliar' is an anagram indicator.
'to'+'her'+'daughter'='toherdaughter'
'toherdaughter' anagrammed gives 'THOUGHT-READER'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for thought-reader that I've seen before include "One discerning another's mind" , "A looker into minds" , "One who knows what we have in mind" , "Telepath" , "One looking into others' minds" .)
