I think I would say it like this:
I was familiar with the more openly emotional branches of psychology like psycho-analysis and the "sit down and let's talk about your feelings" applications.

"Handsy" is the only close synonym I can think of. Otherwise, I think you would have to use a longer phrase like "openly expressing affection or other emotions, especially through physical contact".

@OldGeezer Here is the sentence I want to translate but I don't quite get what touchy-feely means there:
"I was familiar with the more touchy-feely branches of psychology like psycho-analysis and the "sit down and let's talk about your feelings" applications."
What do you think it means? Does it match up with your definition?
