I was going to say what Sunne said - those from therapies that identify as coming from humanistic approaches tend to be more comfortable with more touch.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Humanistic_psychology
When I found my current therapist, I did a phone interview that usually took between 5-20 minutes. I asked about cost and availability and other mundane things. I also asked what approach(es) they used. It was quite helpful in narrowing down who I would choose. I think I would have been comfortable asking about how comfortable they were with touch as part of therapy but I didn't thnk about it. Where did they draw their boundaries. I'm thinking asking them is the only way to find out, unless you know someone with an anecdote that suggests they are comfortable with touch.
The other thing I would think about is talking to my T about the role of touch. the benefits and risks. What you want and why etc.
