No A levels -Will this effect my progression onto master/Phd courses?

So I'm 26 and in my second year of uni.

I was bullied significantly in school and at 13 developed severe social anxiety and depression as a result. Long story cut very short - was pulled from school at 14 because my mother was worried for my safety. Started process to get home-schooling but by the time it got sorted I was almost 16, very mentally unwell and it was decided I should focus on my health and not return to education until I was better.

This means I didn't get my GCSEs/BTEC First Diploma until I was 19. I then went on to a Level 3 (A level equivalent) legal secretary course which I never completed and never gained qualifications from. However during this time there I was told I might be able to go to university as a mature student so I applied to a few and got accepted at Edge Hill.

After a rough start (as I was still very unwell at the time) in uni, I failed my first year, intercalated and returned (on a different course) to uni as a first year student again.

I'm now doing MUCH better - I'm loving my course, my mental health has massively improved and I'm averaging a 2:1 (66%) so far which I'm aiming to boost to a 1st by graduation.

I really want to go on to do a masters course after I graduate next year, but I'm not sure if my lack of A levels, combined with my difficult start in uni will prevent it.

How would I best go about increasing my chances of being accepted on a post-grad course. Should I discuss the difficulties I had to explain my lack of A levels, or do I not need to mention them?

Any advice appreciated.
