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

'psychic' is the definition.
(someone with psychic powers)

'fear in collier' is the wordplay.
'fear' becomes 'dread' (synonyms).
'in' is an insertion indicator.
'collier' becomes 'miner' (I've seen this in another clue).
'dread' put inside 'miner' is 'MIND-READER'.

'instils' acts as a link.
I am not very happy about this link. It may belong to another bit of the clue.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for mind-reader that I've seen before include "stage entertainer" , "one with special powers" , "One with psychic powers" , "Thought diviner" , "Telepathist" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
