Just follow your passion.
The only requirement for specific subject for A Levels is..
for example, a science A Level for a science degree. Taking A Level art for architecture.
Since you are unsure, it is fine.
Your options wont limit you.

For example, If you want to do a computer science degree, you can do a foundation year computer science degree.
even if your options limited you, it doesnt.

DT can be useful for a range of degree courses (architecture, product design, engineering, etc.) though it isn't necessarily a required subject. Unless you wish to study a degree that requires specific A levels, choose subjects that you enjoy and will do well in.

I agree with what Bankai has said. I also did all the subjects chose (except psychology) as I was not sure whether I wanted to pursue a degree in business or science. These options should not limit you. Math is especially a useful subject that opens up doors to Econs, Engineering, Finance etc. Psych is a good option if you want to pursue it further.

This is actually total twaddle.
Most STEM degrees will require TWO science/maths subjects and Architecture often requires Maths and/or Physics.

Have look at some degree courses and see what catches your attention - and look at the entry requirements - this might give you a few signposts to what you might do with your A levels and what you might 'need' too do it -
