Unhappy with educational career (uk)

Hello to everyone reading this,

I’d like to ask for some advice on going to university with my current a level grades. I basically messed them up due to severe mental health issues. I did not fail any of them but I did get low grades and barely passed. I did law, politics and history and was going to do law but changed my mind last minute and went for psychology instead. I already struggled with applying to universities as I did not take science based subjects. I accepted a place into UEL but I’m not happy with it. I took a gap year to “think on it” but to be honest I’ve been working full time and pushed it away to the back of my mind. It just hit me tonight; I am not happy with the university I’m going to. I see it as embarrassing as I am not going to a prestigious university as intended. I’ve always loved school and had good grades but messed up my exams so bad because I thought I wouldn’t be alive soon anyways.

Now I am unsure of what to do. Should I retake a levels ? Is it worth it? Should I stick to my current uni and do my postgraduate elsewhere? Or should I try apply through clearing with what I have?

If it helps I got CDD and worked in special needs during my gap year, I also did some CPD courses.

Thanks :)
