Hi IMs,
My boyfriend works away in the mines. We decided trial a house mate to help with the rent, especially as he’s only here half the time.
Our house mate is a lovely person but is very messy. I don’t want to go into details but basically shared areas are left in disarray - not a lot of consideration for others.
I don’t want her to feel pressure to change her lifestyle because of how we like to live.
How do I respectfully tell her that it’s not working?

I would just be upfront and say that you have both re-considered and have decided that a housemate is not what you are wanting anymore. Tell her that she has 1 month to pack up/move out (so it's decent time to actually find elsewhere) and thank her for being there in the first place :)
No need to beat around the bush and just be upfront.
