You're a bit hosed there, mate.

Marines and Eldar get antipsyker stuff. Orks don't

Your best bet with orks is to punch that farseer repeatedly in the face, so that he can't concentrate.

Do NOT take weirdboys in against eldar with psykers. They will be made to kill themselves.

Eldar psykers in particular are tough to kill as they all have invulnerable saves. Spamming them with tons of shots, close combat pileons or (my favourite) immolating the farseer/warlock retinue unit with a full unit of burnas work ok.

Orks have no dedicated psychic defense, but being in vehicles usually mitigates psychic attacks. A lot of powers only target infantry or individual models, like Mind War or Lash of Submission, so being in a vehicle will protect you.

The only active defense against psykers is probably Zogwort'S Curse. I wouldn't bother though, as most psykers don't like powerklaw to the face anyways. I usually instant-death librarians, farseers and similar by charging them with a unit of boyz and getting the nob in b2b with the psyker. A single unsaved wound is usually enough to kill it, and even if you lose combat, you've made your points back.

7 Ork facts people always get wrong:
Ragnar did not win against Thrakka, but suffered two crushing defeats within a few days of each other.
A lasgun is powerful enough to sever an ork's appendage or head in a single, well aimed shot.
Orks meks have a better understanding of electrics and mechanics than most Tech Priests.
Orks actually do not think that purple makes them harder to see. The joke was made canon by Alex Stewart's Caphias Cain books.
Gharkull Blackfang did not even come close to killing the emperor.
Orks can be corrupted by chaos, but few of them have any interest in what chaos offers.
Orks do not have the power of believe.

Face punching or lucky shooting. The best defense is a good offense.

An SAG helps on the range, but I'll be buggered getting it to hit.

...urrrr... I dunno

Nob squads make for excellent Farseer mincers, I find.
Just add salt and some tomato and herb sauce to the remains, and voila, your horde's lunch is sorted too.
