How do you tell a friend that you don't depend on them because they haven't been dependable historically?

In a constructive way? Because I have forgiven this person, but that doesn't mean I want to set both of us for failure again by expecting as much as she says she has to offer again. Also, I need her to be a legitimately decent listener before she is sad that I didn't talk to her about stressful things. But that's a different issue most likely.
Say you appreciate her offer of help/advice but you would like to think things through yourself a bit more than in the past. when you want to get her attention to listen, arrange to meet and tell her you want to discuss something make it a little bit more formal....if that's the right word?
