It sounds like one thing you need from her is more information on what she can offer you. You could ask her how she reacts when other clients cry and what she offers them. If she says it varies, you can ask for the range of what she offers. In this way, you can learn whether she ever provides physical comfort and avoid asking for it if she has a policy against giving it. Most Ts, I think, would be happy to tell a client how they behave when clients get sad, upset, angry, etc.
Good luck.
