Dialog check

Client: Is it always so hard for you to accept when a client doesn't want to see you anymore?

Therapist: No. Only when it's one/someone/a client I think I can help.

Client: You can't help me.


Does all this sound natural?

- is 'when' fine?

- which one of 'one' and 'someone' is more natural? Or would you just repeat 'a client'?

Thanks.

anonymous - is 'when' fine? Not really. The sentence needs an "it" to be grammatical: "hard for you to accept it when", but nobody says it that way.
