Q: How do I know if someone is genuine? A: This is something only you can decide, if the person you are seeing has been recomended that is a good sign but basically you have to go on your own feelings. Most Genuine people are affiliated to a body like the SWA or members of a recognised body, that's always a good thing because they will have a code of practise, or have a reputation in their own right. The majority today will ask you to sign a disclaimer because the law has changed, that is also a good sign because they are aware of your rights as an individual and would be very unlikely to pray on vunerable people. The Top and bottom of it only you can decide.
