Yes, a client's issues can be discussed as long as your identity is protected. T could say "I have a client who..." as long as the hearer can't figure out who you are from the description. For example, in our area a child was run over by a school bus and killed. T could not say "my client whose child was run over..." but could say "A client whose child was accidentally killed..."
